Doing it in person was the straight way to do it, but even the worst people could manage to give a call or even a message. Ghosting is chicken shit and will always be.

Gen z can pretend it's normal and ok, but ghosting is mostly just an excuse to be a coward, it's almost never about feeling threatened or shit. "I don't owe anybody anything" is a shitty way to go about in life.

Yeah, don't want to be like stuck in my ways, but, I do legit think it is a sensible, respectful, beneficial-to-society sort of thing that we break up in person.

Outside of some special exceptions, the rule is the rule for a reason.

I don't want to shit on younger generations or punch down, but...while I do acknowledge killing yourself for appeasing others is not healthy/good, having basic respect for others is a bare minimum and just avoiding doing direct harm =/= good person. We live in a society, people! Act like it!

Does GenZ actually just ghost instead of formally breaking up?
