Spiritual Ghosting: A Self-Care Vanishing Act

When Inner Peace Means No Replies

“I’m not avoiding, I’m protecting my peace,” they post on Instagram with a crystal emoji, moments after leaving four group chats, ignoring five work emails, and failing to show up for their share of the PowerPoint.

Funny Evidence from the Avoidance as Wellness Movement

One person said “boundaries” while ducking behind a fern during a staff meeting. Another lit sage instead of submitting a team assignment.

Quote from a Self-Care Strategist

“Silence is sacred,” said Aura Fade. “Especially when accountability tries to speak to me.”

Satirical Snapshot

They chant “protect my energy” like a legal defense. Their therapist has a punch card. Their boss has questions.
