Whether a friend or romantic interest cut ties with you, it's tough to get over being ghosted. You have a right to be upset, so don’t try to hide your grief. Allow yourself to cry, listen to sad music, or spend a day wallowing on the sofa. Even if you just went on 1 date, it’s still okay to grieve. Getting rejected is tough under any circumstances, and bottling up your feelings won’t do you any good. Most romantic relationships come to an end at some point, and sometimes people just aren’t suited to each other. Instead of thinking, “There’s something wrong with me,” remind yourself that, sometimes, people are just incompatible. Don’t beat yourself up just because it didn't work out with someone. Focus on the fact that you dodged a bullet. It's better to be ghosted after 1 or 2 dates than to waste weeks or months with someone that's not right for you. If a long-term friend or partner starts intentionally ignoring you for no reason, it might be a good thing that they're out of your life. Talking to a trusted loved one can help you blow off steam and sort out your feelings. A close friend or relative can lift your spirits, and spending time with them can help take your mind off things. Call a loved one and say, “All of a sudden, Sam isn’t returning my calls or texts. I thought it was going well, but I’ve definitely been ghosted. Can we meet up for a coffee? I’m pretty bummed, and I could use a friend right now.” Eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising can all help you push through your grief. Additionally, setting aside time to do activities you most enjoy can help boost your self-confidence.  Avoid skipping meals or loading up on sweets. Eat nutritious foods, such as fruits and veggies, healthy proteins (such as poultry or fish), whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Do your best to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Exercise for at least 30 minutes each day. Outdoor exercise can be especially helpful, so go for brisk walks, jogs, or bike rides. Don’t let this experience get in the way of forming relationships in the future. Dating might seem daunting, and you might be afraid of being ghosted again. Take a deep breath, face your fears, and allow yourself to be vulnerable.  Try taking a class or joining a club related to one of your interests. You could join a gardening club, sign up for an informal sports league, or take a cooking class. Remind yourself that life is full of both joy and pain. You’ll face obstacles in the future, but refusing to put yourself out there is no way to live.
اسمح لنفسك بالحزن. حاولي ألا تأخذي الأمر بشكل شخصي. افتحي صدرك لأحد الأصدقاء أو أفراد الأسرة. حافظي على صحتك النفسية والجسدية. اذهبي في مواعيد وتعرفي على أشخاص جدد.
