Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "orbiting" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

When someone who ghosted you keeps watching your stories and leaving digital traces of their presence without ever actually reaching out. Worse than being ghosted, because orbiting keeps the uncertainty alive and the door just barely cracked open.

Examples

Me ghosteó pero sigue en orbiting, ve todo lo que publico.

He ghosted me but is still orbiting, watching everything I post.

El orbiting es peor que el ghosteo, te mantiene con esperanza.

Orbiting is worse than ghosting because it keeps you holding onto hope.

Regional synonyms

To go too far, to cross the line of what is acceptable with total shamelessness. The person who "se pasa de lanza" does not feel embarrassed and keeps pushing even while everyone watches and disapproves.
