Why did you ghost your friend?

I had just gotten some tragic news that I was responsible for sharing with people close to me. That's always hard, but when it was time to tell my oldest friend, I just couldn't. I knew she would freak out and make it about herself, and I would end up having to comfort her through it, even though I was the most effected my the tragedy. I was prepping myself to do it for a few days, and then just had the idea that I didn't want to, and I didn't have to. So I didn't. In fact, I never spoke to her again. Never explained myself either. She did end up hearing the news through other people and tried to reach me for a long time, but I never responded. This was before social media and cell phones, so disappearing from someone's life was actually pretty easy. I went from seeing her everyday to nothing. Never saw her again.

Looking back, I do have some regrets over how I handled it. I probably should have at least called her and explained. But I stand by my decision and I don't miss her.
