A ghosting check is a quick personal audit to determine whether someone has gone silent on you or whether you've gone silent on someone else — assessing the status of a faded communication thread before it crosses the point of no return. It's part reckoning, part accountability exercise: scrolling back through the chat to see who sent the last message and whether a reply is owed or overdue. Ghosting checks can be pre-emptive (before someone notices the silence) or reactive (after you've been ghosted and want to make sense of the timeline). Either way, someone is about to have to reckon with a read receipt.
Did a ghosting check and realized I owe five people replies — I've been the ghost this whole time.
