Sometimes people can feel emotional and that's normal, especially if they are being unkind [...] It's not easy, because you can't erase the memories you've made with those friends.
Sometimes ghosting someone is easier than causing an argument and dealing with the consequences.
It harms both parties and their feelings. It may end up being difficult for them to let go. It will be alot easier to communicate and explain why things may not be progressing so both can let go easily.
