## Caption

Ever had someone suddenly disappear from your life without a word? Ghosting is when someone abruptly cuts off contact without explaining why - and research suggests the uncertainty can make it especially painful. One study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that 72% of participants said ghosting hurt more than an official breakup. Without an explanation or closure, people can be left questioning what happened, while research into social rejection suggests that being shut out can activate brain regions also involved in processing physical pain. #dating #ghosting #viral #study
