Someone who deliberately entices others into showing sympathy by utilising social media with non-descriptive &/or ambiguous statements designed to invite further questioning and therefore garnering sympathy with their purported issue.
She/He/They are always sympathy mining on Instagram. Eg: poster: “Well that’s that then…” friends of poster “What’s up? Are you okay?”
