Drew Barrymore Has Been Ghosted

Drew Barrymore knows what it feels like to be ghosted? Wow, I have so much in common with her.

But seriously, who’d ghost Drew Barrymore?

Drew Barrymore – Can’t Believe How Much Ghosting Hurts

As a freelance writer, one of the things you get used to earlier on in the profession is being ghosted by clients. And yeah, the hurt doesn’t go away entirely. On a personal level, I haven’t been ghosted by anyone, so I can’t account on that side, but according to what Barrymore’s saying, I can guess it hurts just as much as professional ghosting.

In a candid chat with PEOPLE, the actress really put herself out there in terms of letting us ordinary folks know that she understands just how badly ghosting hurts. “I can’t believe how much ghosting hurts. For anyone who’s been ghosted out there and they feel like a brush fire went through their bodies, I totally get it. It is so strange that someone would behave that way.”

But ghosting isn’t the only thing that has hurt the star in the past, uncomfortable situations in dates is a close second.

“I’ve gone on dates where I’m like, ‘Oh my God, why did I say yes to dinner? Why do I not know: Don’t do dinner. Because we haven’t ordered yet and I don’t want to be here.'”

She added, “It’s tough to sit down when you have so few nights off or to yourself, and you sit down, you’re like, ‘Sh*t, I don’t want to be here.’ That in itself will make you not want to date.”
