Dating coach Ali (@findingmrheight), in a TikTok post, shared that calling out someone who ghosted you "helps to denormalize the behavior" and also teaches you a thing or two about boundaries. It is important, however, to sit with yourself and reflect on the intention behind why you want to text them in the first place. If you're just trying to vent or you're texting them in the hopes of getting a reply, you may want to rethink it all.

Ali recommends, in her TikTok video, sending a text that calls them out on their poor communication skills. Sexologist and podcaster from Toronto Dr. Jess O'Reilly told Elite Daily that ghosting is evidence of the "bad manners" of the ghoster. It could also be "their inability to express a desire or feeling that they believe will disappoint you," she added.

It goes without saying that you want to maintain a level of grace and dignity as you think of the script for your message. Keep the text short and simple and directed at their behavior toward you. Going into details about your emotions surrounding it all might only make you feel worse afterward. An example of a text could be, "Hey, I thought we had a good connection but I guess I was wrong. It would've been nice if you'd found a way to communicate how you felt without ghosting me. Take care."
