Feelbaiting 

When a person on a social network writes a cryptic message in order to trick and force people to open a dialog usually filled with emotional and compassionate responses that is entirely centered around the person.

Facebook status: Can’t believe I just went through this…
Comment 1: Are you ok?
Comment 2: What happened ?
Comment 3: Come on, stop feelbaiting, just spell out what happened

A serious issue in feraltwt where one of the feral boys lead their community on to believe that they'll all be on one stream. But then they don't do that.

Person A: HOLY SHIT GEORGE SAID HE'S STREAMING
Person B: Don't believe anything he says, he's 100% feralbaiting us
