Interesting discussion; lots of great information that is easy to forget when you let your emotions get the better of you! It’s very easy to blame yourself when you believe you’ve been ghosted.
I agree with the first two reasons. But #3, yes there are times you don't know what to say, such as giving advice. Then just say that you are not comfortable giving advice, and either suggest someone who could (clear that first with the person) or say I will get back to you on that one, let me put something together for you. I guess what I am saying is just acknowledge the person in some way.
I completely agree that that is the right thing to do but I’m sharing from experience that sometimes we don’t always do the right thing. Which I’m not proud of. However I want those who send emails and don’t hear back to know it’s not their fault!
Oh I’ve had baby boomers ghost. Not replying to messages is no longer a generational thing. So across all generations we need to remember to get back to people and put others forst

The baby boomers don't ghost. That's the difference. Ghosting is now acceptable behavior. Integrity and closure are less valued.
