probably not (although i dont know her). and i suspect she had the intention of reconnecting, and in the end, felt that it might be better for everyone, not to. that is my guess based on what youve told us.
Yes, I think maybe that was the case, too, now. I will never know, I suppose. She made a few comments about how we shouldn't hang out otherwise she would end up falling into old habits with me, too. So perhaps she just felt it was for the best to remove herself.
i can certainly see why youd have that impression (that she hated you). just cutting someone off, not replying, is really, deeply hurtful, tends to leave the person on the receiving end wondering why, and just wanting some explanation. its happened to me a few times in my life with people i wasnt even near as close as you were to this girl, and it still stung.
it would have probably been better, at least in the long run, if shed been upfront and said it would be better to go your separate ways, if thats how she felt. unfortunately this sort of thing (ghosting) is increasingly on the rise in the dating and friendship world, as a method of choice to sever ties.
I agree. A simple sentence or two of "I don't think we should talk for a while" would have been quite helpful. Perhaps things were just too tense; she is avoidant by nature anyway, so no surprise. It's sad that ghosting is so common, yes. It could save a lot of people a lot of pain, really. It's not always easy to be upfront, I hear that. But it's better in the long run for everyone, I feel.
how much time passed between those two events?
I think two weeks or so.. Not that long. Perhaps she was still angry from the incident, I don't know.
