Why do people suddenly disappear after a deep connection—or after a conflict? Is it about you, or about their own fears?
In this episode of Ask Angela: Relationship Advice for Love After Trauma, Angela Amias responds to a listener who asks why men often ghost after intimacy or when tensions arise.
Angela explores:
- Why ghosting is often a fear-based response to vulnerability, not a personal rejection
- How trauma histories can make intimacy feel dangerous instead of safe
- Why conflict, even minor conflict, can trigger fight, flight, or freeze responses in relationships
- How ghosting can function as a desperate attempt to regain emotional control
- Why the search for closure often leaves us stuck—and how to create it within ourselves
- How to move forward when someone leaves without explanation
If you've ever been ghosted and found yourself endlessly questioning what went wrong—or blaming yourself—this episode offers grounded, compassionate insights to help you heal and move on.
