Social Parasite

1. One who attaches oneself to another person or group of people solely for the the purpose of raising one's own social status. Unfortunately diagnosis of having a social parasite can be made only after discovering that you have already been used, abused, and drained of all your resources. Once a social parasite has been discovered it quickly moves on and attaches itself to another victim. The cycle continues indefinitely as the parasite never achieves the social status it so badly desires. 2. An organism that attaches itself to an individual or group for the soul purpose of gain. Many social parasites rely on those they attach themselves to. They may also expect "the infected" to do such things as: pay for items being consumed(booze, cigs), chauffeur them around. They might also expect to be housed over night. This may then also go on for up to years. 3. A highly invasive organism that exhibits the minimum number of signs of intelligent life. The de-facto route of infection presents through unprotected social intercourse and concurrent alcohol or substance abuse. The social parasite also exibits a high perpensity to symbiotiaclly attach itself to an unaware host. This method of attachment usually presents itself when the host is exhibiting marked signs of malnurition, irratability, suicidal idealization, and unable to function within normal society. This causes the host to withdrawl from normal social circles and induce psycological self distrruction. This infection can be eradicated by completely disrupting its feeding cycle. Other mehods of eradication include removing any source of intoxicating substances or alcohol from the surrounding area. The social parasite will either detach itself from the host and die or move on to infect another person within the same social circle.
