translated from Spanish: Ghosting: the practice to end relationships that takes on social media popularity

To go crazy, not to answer messages, to end a relationship, whether loving or friendship, and never to know again about the other person as if you had swallowed it the earth is what we currently call Ghosting, or n world phenomenon that was recognized as one of the 2015 words by the British dictionary Collins.
But what is ghosting? In simple words, it is to end an affective relationship by rooting out all contact with the person in question and without giving any explanation, either in person or on social media.
The journal of psychology Journal of Social and Personal Relationships published in 2018 an investigation detailing that a quarter of the people who participated in the study had suffered the indifference of a love term through ghosting. In addition, the text revealed that a third of the universe studied has gone through this situation.
As Macarena Segovia points out in chapter 23 of The Fourth Wave, the podcast of El Mostrador, this practice is not only in the field of affective or sexual relations, it can also apply to the work area, either by the employer or the employee.
We invite you to listen to The Fourth Wave to see if you have also suffered – or have done – ghosting.
