I say this with 100% honesty, not because I’m being mean. I still feel like I deserve friends, though.”. They also post about calling their basketball teammates useless and about hiding behind other players so they aren’t actually open to receive passes (but somehow this is a failure of the team’s strategy?) If it’s a real person, then I wouldn’t necessarily call them malicious but definitely lacking in empathy. But I’m leaning more towards it being a troll.
