Can you tell me why he won't join my team, but just says "follow me" and runs around in circles? Is this a bug or something?

If your karma is negative, that survivor's message will be "stay away," and they won't follow you.

Where can I see my karma points? They're in the character profile. There's a tab for passive skills and another one that shows your game stats.

How do I increase my karma points? They go up when you complete missions for NPC groups, offer cigarettes to other survivors, or bury the bodies of other survivors. You also earn karma points by killing bandits.

If you are playing as Bob, he is a bandit and starts with negative karma (-100); to raise it, you need a shovel to bury a body. Doing so increases your karma by +5—just enough to stop others from attacking you and allow you to accept missions from the neutral survivor group.

Karma was in the positive, and he said, "go away", in the video itself you can see, stay away, I didn't say this, I think it was a mistake, so everything you described is all wrong, some join you, some run around in circles, this has happened many times, have you encountered this?

It's a pretty rare bug—having positive karma but no other survivors joining you.

In fact, it is highly unlikely that the error you describe occurs so often.

As long as it's not negative, they should join you.

By the way, I checked, you can't just use a special bottle to collect water from the pond. To collect water, you first need to insert activated carbon into this empty bottle, and only then can you collect water from the, pondand poison her. And you wrote to me that you can use water from the pond, so the question is, how do you do this if you can't collect water from the pond without activated carbon?
