Messages Details Ghosting Haunts The New Age

Technology finally allows us to cut more people out of our lives on multiple platforms.

BY AUBREY MAKAR REPORTER

Following a holiday season of not hearing from her grandmother, local student Ruby June started to wonder if their relationship could be salvaged.

“Grandma started ghosting me after she didn’t like the family photo on Facebook I posted during Christmas break,” June said.

The sudden loss of communication with Grandma continued with June being ignored again on her birthday with no card and no usual birthday call. Then, in a final blow, Grandma blocked her on Facebook. There was no possible way for redemption.

Since then, June has tried to weasel her way back into Grandma’s heart through posting multiple candids of them together and sending her samples of her quilting projects.

“If this doesn’t work, I will have to learn Grandma’s passion, knitting, to try to get back into her life,” June said. “But even knitting can only ever take you so far in times like these.”

June isn’t the only one being ghosted.

At first this ghosting caught June and her mother, Regina June, off guard. Regina June thought that Grandma might have died after their contact was cut off. Grandma later posted a picture of her and a neighbor girl making cookies which confirmed that Grandma was alive.

“I posted a picture of my other grandma and me to try to get the message across that I was over her,” June said. “Later I remembered that she had blocked me on Facebook so she wouldn’t have even seen the picture.”

Regina maintained her relationship with her mother but each time they talked on the phone, Grandma made sure that she would not have to hear anything about her forsaken grandchild.

“The moment that I realized it was really bad was when I said Ruby’s name in the conversation. She immediately hung up on me,” Regina said.

Grandma could not be reached for comment. Maybe it’s because she was contacted through Ruby’s phone.
