A more abstract and depressing render about ghosting.
I'm personally guilty of doing this several times in my life due to shame.
That shame being not as financially secure or being socially polished as the people I care about.
So instead of communicating that to them, I just ghost them.
The last significant ghosting I did was 7 years ago when I started my NSFW DAZ journey. I didn't want anyone to be associated with a NSFW Artist by myself.
I do wonder how they're doing, but the shame still lingers.
