trauma vulture

Someone who self diagnoses themselves with every "new to them" mental illness or oppressed minority they see trending so they can feel included in all of the awareness attention and try to manipulate people's thoughts, feelings, and behavior towards them. Needs coddled 24/7 and can not handle being spoken directly in disagreements.

"Did you see Janine came out as non-binary yesterday?" "Is that the same person that 'caught' PTSD to get out of work last week?" "Yeah they got tired of being told they were mansplaining so they decided they weren't a man anymore, such a trauma vulture. Bet they'll have D.I.D. next week."

Trauma vulture

A person who feasts on the trauma of others and will only show up as a “friend” when others are in crisis. This is typically a means of deflection; if the trauma vulture can pick apart the carcass of someone else’s trauma they can avoid acknowledging their own

“How come the only time I hear from Stacy is when my life is in shambles?”
“Oh duh, it’s because Stacy is a trauma vulture”
