This is when you’re in a ZOOM/video meeting with people you don’t know well (usually during a pandemic) and you’re bored so you want to leave. You don’t really know how to exit gracefully, so you get all anxious and continue to hang out: the “panic lurk”.
My friend just had a Zoom Bday party and I didn’t know anyone.

I was bored and wanted to go, but didn’t want to offend her so I just panic lurked.
