trauma vulture 

Someone who self diagnoses themselves with every "new to them" mental illness or oppressed minority they see trending so they can feel included in all of the awareness attention and try to manipulate people's thoughts, feelings, and behavior towards them. Needs coddled 24/7 and can not handle being spoken directly in disagreements.

Trauma vulture 

A person who feasts on the trauma of others and will only show up as a “friend” when others are in crisis. This is typically a means of deflection; if the trauma vulture can pick apart the carcass of someone else’s trauma they can avoid acknowledging their own
