Zombieing

Čeština

Zombieing is when someone who ghosted reappears in the other person's life — a message, a like, following them again on social media — without ever explaining or apologizing for the earlier silence.

It differs from orbiting in that a zombie actively tries for direct contact again after resurfacing, not just passive watching from a distance.
