Should you apologize to someone you ghosted before if there is a chance you might run into them? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Say you went out on like 2 dates and said person was too clingy and you ghost em, now you might have to face them due to work. Apologize or not? And if apologize, do it preemptively or upon meeting?

Also generally as a moral stance should you??

Sure. At this point for me law enforcement is different than cops. People like your friends can enforce the law.

That said this kind of misses the point and is a redirection. The point is to forcefully tell them it's over.

If you are going to have problems with a person then either way telling them it's over or ghosting them isn't going change their actions.

However ghosting a person who didn't have intention to harm you is going to confuse them and likely have them bother you more. Because you aren't giving them an idea of your intent. Specially for neurodivergent people.
