A person who pretends to have close relationships with others, even if they’ve only met a handful of times (or not at all), and frequently guilt-trips people into hanging out with them. The typical "A Bear" thrives on awkwardly inserting themselves into plans and conversations, often claiming they were “totally invited” or making you feel bad for “leaving them out.” They are the undisputed champions of emotional manipulation disguised as friendship.
"Ugh, I wasn’t even planning a party, but 'A Bear' heard about my Friday night and now I feel bad not inviting him."

"We barely know each other, but he’s pulling an 'A Bear' and acting like I’m his best friend from middle school."

"Be careful mentioning plans around her—she’s such 'A Bear' and will guilt-trip her way into it."

Pro Tip: If you encounter 'A Bear,' set boundaries or prepare for a guilt-fueled emotional rollercoaster.
