A short spoken response advising a listener on getting over a man who ghosted them. The speaker reframes ghosting as validation that the person avoided a potentially unhealthy relationship, argues that adults should communicate rather than disappear, and uses a "playing tag" metaphor to illustrate the emotional exhaustion of chasing someone who ghosts.

Okay, let me see what y' all are talking about. Liz. And media said, how do I get over a man who ghosted me? By realizing that when a man ghosts you, it should be a validating experience. It should be a validating experience because adults don't communicate that way. And if you were in a relationship with him, this is exactly how he would have communicated. Right. So we have to reframe it in understanding that we dodged a major bullet. Sometimes we're like, oh, my God, there's something wrong with me.
Not if he's ghosting. Ghosting is, like, one of the, like, not the worst things that you can do, but ghosting, like how it affects the brain. It's almost like someone hitting you. So I understand how it feels, but we also have to reframe it. And understanding. Oh, my God, I'm so glad I'm not with him. Cuz, girl, anytime you would have a disagreement and you will have them in a relationship, this is what he would do. And then you would have to go and chase after him. And now you playing tag all. All your damn life in that relationship, and you're it, and that is exhausting.
Yeah. Nobody wants to be. Have you ever been it in tag and you can't catch nobody, girl and then you run out of breath. Have you ever been that girl? Girl, that's the gag of the century. And that's what it would look like for guys that you that ghost you?
