Why do people suddenly turn their backs on me? (H26, seeking understanding) Hello everyone, I’m posting here because I’m going through a period of deep self-doubt. For several years now, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern: friends (from childhood, middle school, high school, Erasmus, university, or even work) ghost me or abruptly turn their backs on me, without explanation. No apparent conflict, no warning signs… just radio silence or sudden rejection. I’m 26 years old, and these situations leave me feeling confused and frustrated. I’m not trying to play the victim, but rather to understand: What could possibly drive people to act this way? (even after years of friendship or collaboration) What is their “thought process”? Is it a lack of empathy, a fear of confrontation, or something else? Could I, without realizing it, be exhibiting behaviors that push others away? (I’m willing to question myself, but I need some concrete suggestions.) I want to clarify that I’m not a confrontational or toxic person (at least, not to my knowledge). I’ve always tried to be there for others, a good listener, and loyal. Yet, these abrupt breakups make me doubt my ability to build lasting relationships. Have you ever experienced this? Or, conversely, have you ever ghosted someone for no apparent reason? If so, why? I’m not looking for ready-made answers, but rather testimonials or analyses that could help me gain a clearer understanding. Thank you in advance for your feedback, and sorry if this post is a bit long… It’s just a step I need to take to move forward. submitted by /u/louisredpill
