Therping
When a guy or girl dates or talks frequently with somebody with severe mental issues. Especially people who are emotionally manipulative and will use their mental illness as a leverage to keep you in the relationship (e.g: “I’m going to kill myself if you dump me”). People who are therping believe that they are therapists and that they are going to magically cure or help this person, which they will of course not. If a friend is caught therping it is recommended to sit them down and calmly explain how they are being manipulated.
