I'm not sure if I'm being ghosted by some friends...so I don't know how to interact with them. if I am being ghosted, I'm OK to let the friendships go, because I don't want a friendship with someone who doesn't want me. But on the other hand, I don't want to let it dwindle or make then think I'm ghosting them, by my actions. Because of Covid I'm not seeing them in person, except accidentally in the street. I can accept this, although it's hard to not have face to face chats or do anything social. They are less bothered than me about taking precautions but that's their business. We keep in touch by messaging and when they share what they've been doing e.g.an outing or pictures o their hobbies, I respond with an appropriate comment, discuss what they've said, ask further questions. They never carry on the conversation thread I've started. When I post similar about what I've been doing I ether get no response at all or a comment like 'nice', which isn't really worth having. I feel like not bothering any more because the tepid responses feel like a rejection. But if I stop contacting them I can't really complain about having no contact. So what to do for the best please?
