Haptic Ghosting

Hap-tic Ghost-ing
/ˈhap-tik ˈɡō-stiŋ/
noun

The unsettling sensation of feeling a phone vibration, tap, or buzz that never actually happened—usually right after you’ve been ignored, left on read, or cut off emotionally. Often blamed on anxiety, anticipation, or the modern brain being permanently on “notification watch.”
Symptoms may include: checking your phone repeatedly, swearing it vibrated, and mild embarrassment when you realize it didn’t.
“I thought my phone buzzed, but it was just haptic ghosting after she stopped replying.”

Marathon ghosting

Marathon Ghosting (noun)
The act of repeatedly disappearing from someone’s life for long stretches of time, only to reappear sporadically when lonely, bored, or in need—often dragging out the relationship dynamic for months or years without genuine commitment. Unlike one-time ghosting, marathon ghosting is a cycle of using and abandoning, leaving the other person emotionally strung along.
She only needs me when she's at rock bottom and there's nobody else, classic marathon ghosting!
