A lurker whose silent presence feels less chill and more creepy — someone who watches without engaging in a way that sets off alarm bells. The sus lurker follows all your accounts, views all your stories, appears in your seen list consistently but never interacts. Unlike a regular lurker, their silence feels intentional in a threatening or obsessive way. They're not lurking out of shyness or habit — they're watching for something. Could be an ex, a rival, or someone with ulterior motives. The silence is the sus part.
My ex has viewed every single one of my stories without responding in months — total sus lurker energy.
