Matthew Hussey argues that ghosting says nothing about your worth. It reflects the ghoster's lack of empathy and inability to handle difficult conversations, not a judgment of you.

We think that ghosting is a measure of the depth of our unworthiness. What we have to do, in fact, is completely uncouple the two. When someone ghosts us, that part, it goes beyond a rejection into a behavior that is specific to that person, to the way they handle life and difficult conversations, to their lack of empathy, to their lack of character, to their lack of standards around how they communicate and treat people. So while it might sting when we get rejected, when we get ghosted, we should see that as absolutely nothing to do with us. That part is a behavioural pattern on behalf of the other person.
