Today, we’re reading real life ghost stories from friends who have been left on read, felt abandoned, and even one from the ghost themselves!

Not all ghosts live in haunted houses. Some live in old text threads, quiet friend circles, and the unanswered “Hey, are we good?” messages. In this episode of The Art of Classiness, we’re sharing Friendship Ghost Stories—the emotional disappearances no one warns you about. We’ll be reading real life ghost stories from friends who have been left on read, felt abandoned, and even one from the ghost themselves!

We explore:

• The Soft Fade — when someone slowly pulls away
• The Vanishing Act — when everything seems fine, then they’re gone
• I’m Not Dead, Just Done — the intentional goodbye
• Ghosts With Regret — when someone who left wants back in

Why does ghosting hurt so much? Can you end a friendship without cruelty? Should you respond when a ghost returns? And is closure something we get… or something we choose?

Join us around the campfire. This one might bring up some feelings. 👻
