The main objective of this study is to explore the causes, impacts, and preventive measures against ghosting.

The impacts felt by victims include decreased self-esteem, anxiety, and difficulty in building trust. Meanwhile, perpetrators can experience feelings of guilt or relief, depending on the motivation behind their actions.
