hatewatch

Following someone on social media closely although you don't like them. Could be for many reasons:

- A frenemy laying low, acting normal
- Collecting tea to gossip/talk shit
- Finding (reaching) for justification to not like them
- Jealous of them so you study everything about them
- Scared of them so you pay attention to their schedule and friends to avoid them
- Evil so you pay attention to their schedule and friends to plot something manipulative

- Making sure they're not talking shit because you have a chip on your shoulder

- Hoping for schadenfreude

For whatever reason, know thy enemy. "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer."

Carl is so self-absorbed. I'd unfollow him but I'm not done hatewatching.

Lina used to react to my stories but now she just hatewatches.

I don't even know why she requested to follow me. I think she just wants to hatewatch.
