My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

    I have adapted this policy. With a bunch of trying to understand why this person is acting a certain way.

      Personally I’m not great at reading people and I’ve found they get even more frustrated when you get it wrong than when you just don’t do it. After a certain point I found myself miserable and I kinda stopped and went “wait, why is it MY job to know what THEY want from me?” And I eventually just kinda. Stopped. Most people hardly noticed because I got it wrong or overlooked it so much anyway but it was tons less stress on me, and now they knew how to effectively interact with me
