When someone ghosts out of shame, usually temporary.
This happens after doing something they swore they wouldn't do, or that they feel guilty about having done.
Can be used among good friends, because friends don't usually permanently ghost, but they do ghost temporarily out of shame.

"Lily went to see her ex yesterday to drop of things and never texted me back..."
"She probably did something wrong and now she's doing the Ghost of Shame."

A kind of en-masse guilt trip spread by newspapers and other media. Has its roots in archaic beliefs/notions of deference and paternalism that go a long way to fortifying nationalist sentiments and spreading xenaphobia. You only feel national shame if you swallow that sort of bullshit.

Trigger-shaming (verb):
1. An act of deliberate humiliation or degradation inflicted on a triggered person (or non-person) after their attempt to create a safe space through positive expression.
2. A tactic of embarrassment by those who disagree with one's right to be triggered. Most often used by individuals who are themselves triggered, but hide behind bullying to belong to the heteronormo-nativty scene and submit to societal pressures.
