The Psychological Impact of Ghosting Lasts Longer than Outright Rejection
A new study in *Computers in Human Behavior* finds that being ghosted—receiving no explanation after a digital interaction—creates longer‑lasting psychological distress than an explicit rejection.

While both scenarios triggered immediate hurt, participants who were rejected recovered quickly, whereas ghosted participants remained stuck in uncertainty and negative affect. The work underscores that clear communication can accelerate emotional closure in digital relationships.
