Experts Explain Why Ghosters Continue Viewing Instagram Stories Without Contact
Ghosting, where someone suddenly stops communication, often leads to confusion when the person continues viewing Instagram Stories. Psychology research shows this behavior stems from uncertainty and curiosity rather than a desire to reconnect. Relationship coach Chetna Chakravarthy warns that such social media activity usually indicates boredom or neglect, not genuine interest, advising against giving a second chance to those who ghost. Viewing Stories can trigger distress but does not necessarily imply commitment or reconciliation.
