I will admit to ghosting, especially if I get drunk and hungry and no one else is interesting in eating, or more likely, I feel like eating alone. It's not that I mind people seeing me eating, it's just that sometimes I don't care to be social while I eat. Alternatively, I sometimes ghost if I don't like the crowd, or the dynamic feels weird to me, but in general, if someone made an effort to personally invite me to something, I feel like I am obligated to do them the courtesy of at least thanking them for the invitation and to set vague future plans (which I tend to act on) to do something with them at another time, as per my upbringing.
