Toxic trend in relationships: Banksying

Some experts consider this method a cowardly way to break up. Unfortunately, many people today opt for passive-aggressive techniques like "Banksying" rather than honestly ending their romantic relationships.

Young people, especially in Generation Z, are having their breakup messages written by artificial intelligence. Relationships are being concluded in writing, rather than face-to-face, with texts like, "It's not you, it's me."

Some social media users compare this method to ghosting, as it involves a sudden cut-off of communication. However, according to Chan, banksying can be even more brutal than ghosting.

Relationship expert Emma Hathorn also says banksying causes stress and confusion in the dating world. She urges those who resort to this method to be honest and open.
