Social Deforestation

n. The systematic exploitation of friend groups through repeated grifts (emotional manipulation, cash requests, GoFundMes, and small-scale scams) until the group’s resources and patience are fully depleted.
Sally has no friends left in Chicago because she burned through every social circle with nonstop asks for money, favors, and GoFundMes. Her social deforestation finally forced her to relocate to San Francisco.
