Social Netlurking

The action of observing friends or complete strangers from the comfort of your own computer via social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Myspace, Formspring, etc. When practiced correctly, a social netlurker can gather immense amounts of information on their subject(s). Any embarrassing and funny information gathered should be submitted to www.SocialNetlurking.com.

After last night's party, Amber was totally hitting on my 14 year old brother on his Facebook wall. I took a screenshot and sent it in to Social Netlurking before she could sober up, realize what she did, and delete it.

abusive para-social relationship

When you're manipulated by a content creator into thinking they're a good person but then you find out they're like a sex perfect or wife beating psycho, all the while you defended them without realizing they were taking advantage of you. Until they finally get exposed/canceled and your friend finally rescues you from said para-social relationship and you finally stop following them after all these years.

Nate - Man i used to watch Destiny all the time, but ever since the minor sexting and revenge porn I've kinda stopped following.
Kyra - really? you're finally getting out of that abusive para-social relationship?

Social Hitler

Using a minority cause to bully around others. Such people might look like nice, helping people fighting for a just cause but their true intentions become annoyingly clear when they get a little power. In their view they can now tell everybody what to say, feel and think because initially there was a good reason.

Rando: Hey let's go to this club and have some fun!
Social Hitler: You are so egoistic and only concerned about your fun! Do you even respect women at all?

Please pick up that trash on the ground here and buy me drink to calm down over this insult to someone else i pretend to care about!

Person 1: I think that The Wizard of Oz is the best movie.
Person 2: Wow. Your social security number is 2.

Social media

Theres not really anything social about social media, if anything, social media encourages people to be distant from each other and in their own little world/bubble. There are people nowadays who won't do anything in life if theres not a picture or video to post and comment about. They live to be seen on social media, YouTube, or reality TV, where everything is staged. What happened to enjoying what you were doing so much at the time that you didnt think to film it, you already missed your opportunity to film it and it didnt matter, you got to be human for a few minutes, you were as close to who you really were as you get, no image. That must have ended in the 90s with VCR's for some people.

Social media provides the illusion of being part of a large network, meanwhile some people are getting rich via this platform. There was a time before social media where people actually knew each other in real life and had actual life experience with the other person, rather than the virtual image of someone on a computer screen.

Social Needia

A state of being wherein a person desperately seeks contact with anyone else they can on social media, like Facebook, twitter, Snapchat, etc., whether because they have little in-person interaction or just because it makes them feel validated.

Primus: "Holy shit, this chick has added me on Facebook like 17 times and I still don't know who she is."
Secundus: "Yeah, she's on Social Needia hardcore."
