- GUYS. Tics are not a trend!! I'm genuinely DISGUSTED rn. This tiktok trend NEEDS to stop. Like. STOP FAKING TICS. TICS ARE NOT A TREND. There's a new thing going around where people wear their "oodies" and fake tics to gain followers and clout. THIS IS NOT OKAY. I'M SO UPSET. UGH. Tourettes is REAL and it's HARD TO LIVE WITH. DON'T YOU DARE FAKE TICS. UGH. Rant over.
As a girl with Tourette's, I would love to spread awareness and education about my disorder, as I feel it is quite misunderstood in today's society. The media has made it out to be a swearing disorder only, which is far from true. I hope this video will educate you on Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders! Life with Tourettes can be difficult, but just know that we're the same as everyone else...except for the fact we tic like clocks! (:
Thanks for watching!

Tics ruined my life, my dream job was always surgeon and then I got diagnosed and told that would never be possible! I’ve lost all my friends when it got severe because they thought I was weird and they were embarrassed by me. I’m glad tourettes is being recognised and accepted but this is really offensive. These little kids are ruining everything, people who actually have it are told they’re faking because it’s being faked/mocked so much
My dream job was to be a singer but my tics aren't making it possible 😭
Same. I wanted to be a vet
I have really minor tics (I'm not diagnosed or anything but I don't know what to call it bc its uncontrolled movements) and I hope that it wouldn't get worse bc I want to be a neuro surgeon and that's a serious job that can really go tomg if you do something wrong
@@subsubdjdnnd sometimes tics can go away! So maybe when your old enough to study they might be gone :>
@@-luna-moon- hopefully! :)
A girl in my class said to a girl with Tourette’s (when the subject of TikTok came up): “You should post videos with your ticking so you can get more follows”
That disgusted me.
Ugh. I had some goober post a comment on one of my Tourette's vids asking me if I could film a tic attack. Go kick rocks, dude. I'm not here for you to gawk at like a circus freak show that they had in the 1800s.
OBVIOUSLY! TOURETTE'S IS NOT FUNNY >:(
@@thetickedoffpianoplayer4193 I don't see why you'd make videos like "going to Walmart with tourette's," if you weren't at least, in some way, attempting to be seen or recognized (at least online) for your condition. It baffles me to be so upset by somebody proposing that question to you, when you yourself (via name and videos uploaded) are the one who has brought your tourette's to the internet. You created a channel that broadcasts your condition. You also most likely don't know the reasoning behind the person's question, they may not have had such malicious intentions. Perhaps they wanted to gain a better understanding, perhaps they wanted to mock you. You have no idea but you shouldn't create your online identity based on your condition and then allow yourself to be taken back when you get targeted because of it. That's how the internet works, specifically, video entertainment. I'm not trying to be harsh or rude and I'm sure you'll have some choice words for me, which I'd welcome. My point is, you don't open a door to your house and get mad when flies start coming inside.
Or maybe you do.
@@avihs92 I've made my channel as a means of explaining what it's like to have Tourette's, which is why I uploaded the Walmart vid. I made that because that was the first time I've been able to go to a store since February when the tics became severe, because they were always very mild before. I used to play music professionally and did some streaming online, but when the tics got bad I felt like the only way I could even have an online channel was if it was a Tourette's channel because I was ticcing literally from the time I woke up until I went to bed. I felt like I couldn't have a normal channel where I just play music now because the tics are so bad. I probably shouldn't have gotten that frustrated with that guy, but I don't think it's cool to ask for a tic attack video the way he did. I was also in a pretty dark place when I posted this comment, and normally I would have just laughed about it, as I know that the internet is full of trolls.
@@thetickedoffpianoplayer4193 I can understand that and I appreciate you relaying your feelings without attacking me. That’s pretty rare these days. I hope I haven’t offended you, I just thought it was out of pocket. I hope you live a wonderful and peaceful life, don’t let the trolls get to you. They always get to themselves in due time.
This trend makes me so angry because they are acting as if tics are funny, they are also really overdoing it, my family won’t let me get diagnosed with Tourette’s, but I can confirm that I have tics. I hate how this is how people see people who have Tourette’s now.
I have tics but not tourettes but i think from adhd i have not been diagnosed bc my family wont let me, but I can agree I also hate this and it makes it even worse that people actually think its okay.
I have tics but i dont have tourettes idk how to explain but anyway.
Im with all of yall guys...💖💖💖❄
@@McFlurrArtt i dunno about you but i have adhd and have not had a single tic
@@memedude8303 Not everyone gets it just like mental illnesses in general, not everyone has them.
I have tics as well. I'm pretty sure I have some sort of low-functioning motor tic disorder.
I recently had my first tic attack and i was EXHUASTING. I dont understand why people would do stuff like that.
Ya. I've had a couple. On the day I developed most my tics I had a tic attack.
@@ashkinnally6316 same
lol yeah i have them all the time :(
I don’t have Tourette’s but sometimes my body will just jerk weirdly. Nothing extreme, it’s more like a sudden shiver or jump with either my whole body or like my leg or arm. I wouldn’t say it’s noticeable to other people I don’t think? I can’t explain it. Like I can’t help it. I tend to do that thing where you move your neck and then it hurts. I was born three months early and had sensory issues when I was little (like grass felt sharp. Luckily not anymore) but I think it’s down to that. Like that is difficult to deal with, I can’t imagine what you have to go through. Subscribing!
@@lilz Aw thanks. I’m not quite sure what it is you have since I’m not a doctor. But as long as your not in pain I hope you’ll be ok ❤️
this is vile. I've got tics and it has been already so embarrassing for me, but now...when I know that there's some frickin' tiktok trend and people might think that I'm faking it... it's not good at all! it makes me more insecure about myself and...I just hate my tics.
Sorry dude/girl...but dont worry im with u !!
Even tho ppl say ur faking u know that ur not.
Dont say u hate it its not your fault.
And always remember me when ppl say ur faking i will always be in ur mind.
Stay safe im with u💖💖❄
@@chiisai_chichi7987 aw, that's so nice of you ;w;! that really made my day and...I'll definitely keep you on my mind (I mean, how I would even forget?) ;w;💗
you too - stay safe!🙌🏼💗
same
Hugs. So sorry for your loss. Recently lost my aunt that I was close with. It’s tough. Don’t have tics but like your content. No idea why people keep faking disorders and romanticize it. I have a different disorder and it makes things harder and causes anxiety and depression but tics to me seems even harder.
I just melted down when I see people faking tics. I have had tics since I was 6, and it just disgusts me that they do this. I am now 10, and I hate that people do this. You inspire me to keep trying when I'm down. Thanks.
Exactly. I've had tics since I think the age of 2, and its absolutely disrespectful and offensive and harmful for people to be doing this.
Tbh I have tourette syndrome and this just makes me mad ,like they know it's wrong and they know people would be upset so they hide there face ,I think they should not be cowards and show there face and show there true colors
Thank you for addressing this!! It’s absolutely awful, young kids using tik Tok to fake tics for clout! You said it very well, also sorry for your loss! x
I am a child, and I have really bad tics, I’m having tic attacks almost everyday, I hate anyone that fakes it and you can’ change my mind.
I'm so sorry for your loss!
If it makes you feel any better it’s not just you. Most disabilities are mocked or used for tricking people into sending them money. You did an amazing job to get this video out. What a terrible time you were having, but it was a good vent and as you know, an important message. 🌻🌻🌻
I can’t believe people are doing this 😞 I struggle with Tourette’s and I’m constantly hurting myself and I’m embarrassed to even leave the house bc of my tics I wish people would stop with these trends because they shouldn’t be a thing 😔 hope ur ok x
Oh no honey. 🥺🫂🍀👼🏽🌠
I send you a hug. 🤍
Ik this is a year later, but I'm sending love. I hope you are ok and pls don't be afraid to go in public. You did not choose to have Tourettes so be proud of who you are and follow your dreams

(The vids on my channel are embarrassing but the boy is my cousin, he took my phone)
Together we can get all of their accounts taken down ❤️
we got the main one down then he made another and turned comments off
Agreed
I'm going to make a video about this... its so sad people are taking this and trying to get fame from it... I'm so sorry 😞....
@@chaser6747 still waiting for the video
yeah, we have the power of friendship
Same thing with many, many other mental illnesses especially OCD, DID, and of course anxiety and depression.
Can you please do a video on this tik toker. “Ticsandroses” I’m so sure she’s faking it . She is a terrible actor and it’s so embarrassing and disrespectful that she is and I can’t get over the fact everyone’s buying it
Ticsandroses stopped posting today, say she's taking an indefinte hiatus. Earlier, she posted very faked medical "proof" of her tics and she got blasted for it and quit TikTok
SgtHugoStigIitz omg yaaay thank you I thought I was crazy how So many people fell for her lies
@@sgthugostigiitz5935 unfortunately, they have a youtube channel too. What makes me sick is that they make money off of their "tics"
Oh yes, I've seen a lot of her "tics" and as someone who has family with Tourette's and knows what an actual tic looks like it's so clear she's faking it. I'm glad she's been exposed
She is obviously fake.
i have anxiety tics and when in social settings i can get stressed out and i can suppress my tics but when it starts to get to difficult i dont and my friends copy them sometimes and or try to trigger different tics makes me not want to leave my house anymore. sending love to everyone :)
Those people are not your friends.
So idk if anyone will see this but I work in a mental health facility primarily with teenagers and I’ve noticed since the start of tics trending on tik tok that there’s been a dramatic increase of teenagers faking tics. I don’t like to judge because there is obviously something causing the kids to feel like they need attention so much to the point that they’re willing to fake a debilitating illness but it’s honestly very annoying when you know they are faking it because for some reason people find them “adorable” or “funny” I feel bad for the few kids who are genuinely suffering from tics because they didn’t choose their illness and you can see the disappointment and anger in their faces when they see other kids faking. I guess my point is that more people need to bring light to this trend and help kids realize that what they’re doing isn’t cool and it actually effects people who are actually suffering
My best friend started having tics this year and it's been the hardest thing for her. It's been extremely hard to watch so I can't even imagine how hard it just be to actually be dealing with it.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is the most painful thing to ever go through. And that your syndrome is being made into a trend or joke. The fake disorders trend on tiktok is so disgusting, I don't understand it & I don't understand why people are supporting it.
And because of stuff like this, people comment on creators who actually have tics that they are faking it for clout. Its really harmful.
People literally make tourettes subliminals for people who want to have tourettes
that's disgusting
Why the heck would anybody want Tourette's? I'll let them have mine if they want it that bad.
I don’t have Tourette’s, I have the occasional anxiety tic but it’s usually only when I’m alone and I can suppress them easily. I’m not on TikTok and I had no idea people were doing stuff like this, I’m so sorry that there are actually people out there who have so little empathy that they don’t see anything wrong with faking tics for views and followers. Like you say, most of them are probably kids who aren’t mature enough to understand the harm they’re doing yet, but I’m sure there are some people doing this trend who know exactly what they’re doing and just don’t care. It’s really infuriating, I totally sympathise with your anger and sadness about it. It isn’t fair that people can get away with mocking tic disorders like this, and it really is very upsetting. Once again I’m so sorry that this is happening, and I really hope it’s gotten better in the time since you uploaded this.
Could we also address that not just people with Tourette’s have tics. People with ADHD and anxiety have them sometimes. 😬👍
Ugh!!!! So annoying, thank you for advocating!!!
I'm so mad. I got the diagnosis recently and I'm trying to accept who I am but people like this won't let it happen. First they were mocking autism and now they've found another condition to make fun of.. Like you said, no one would make fun of cancer, epilepsy, heart disease or phisycal disability that can be lifelong. But because people with tourette's act "weird" and talk "funny", dumb kids will joke about it like it's not a big deal.
One of the many reasons I decided to stop uploading to UA-cam was because my Tics got bad. It is sickening that someone would want to fake TS. Having Tics in public is so embarrassing, I tell people "Your a Foot" randomly and make various sounds. I punch my jaw as a tic and have bitten my tongue and bled as a result. I wish I was faking so I could just stop it all. I hate TS and all of the struggles it presents me.
I can sympathize in the sense that kids faking stimming on TikTok is popular too. I have autism and ADHD and stim, I often don't realize I am doing it. Its not cute and quirky its embarrassing. Sorry about your grandpa as well, I lost mine in 2016.
Like you said. These are kids. They'll get bored and move on to something else. It's insensitive and ignorant, of course, but such is the way of children.
Yes, that is some children but I am 10 and suffer with really bad tics, I get bothered when people say all kids fake it because that is not true, I have bad tic attacks almost everyday, and cry a lot, I hate all the people that use this as a trend
Um, no. You teach them that someone’s medical condition is not a punchline or trend. That is our jobs as PARENTS. You don’t shrug and say “kids will be kids” when they are doing something offensive and hurtful! You correct them and make them stop. As a parent your comment is deplorable. Do better
@@jhquinn2943 exactly!
I have tics. After overcoming my worst bouts of OCD I developed tics not too long after and to say it's turned my life upside down is an understatement. I feel so ashamed that I have to apologise to everyone around me. My neck is messed up from the amount of times I throw my head back. Meanwhile these people on Tiktok fake tics. It's sickening.
i'm sorry for your loss 😔
I'm sorry 😞 it makes me sad and ashamed of the youth for romanticizing medical and mental diagnosis's and it's getting worse. We need ppl like you calling them out and showing them how and why it's wrong for them as an individual and for society. Thank you for making this video it takes courage and I'm sure is hard for you to do... Your helping make this world a better place ❤️
i have adhd and tourettes. its vidoes like this that cause so many people to be convinced that everyone who has tics is faking. these 8-10 year old kids probably don't even realize how offensive faking tics is. I'm so glad this trend is over now
Having tics shouldn’t be used as a “goofy” thing because yes some tics can be funny and it’s okay to make light of things that aren’t great but tics can hurt and they are not fun at all
Also I might not get to be a surgeon if my tics continue to get worse and that’s all I’ve wanted to do for the longest time
I was diagnosed with tics at 6, and this make me so mad. I understand how livid you must be! you got this girl
So sorry for your loss. We lost someone close last year too. Just started to hear about this ‘trend’ and I have no idea what the hell these people are doing!!! I don’t have Tourette’s but I have other conditions and would be furious if they were imitating me walking with my stick for example. They know they are doing wrong or they wouldn’t hide their faces. I really worry about the world’s future!!
These children are probably my age and I'm really embarrassed. If this is how people are gonna act now I can't imagen the future.
Subscribed. Its a real problem all these people faking it. Its sick and needs to be stopped. They’re actually answering questions for kids that have actually been diagnosed and are curious if they’ll develop similar tics
I’m so so so sorry for your loss but the kids who are faking tics clearly doesn’t know how it feels to have tics I have never had tics but it look painful oodies should stop faking
there are unfortunately a large amount of people faking tics even without the oodies- there’s a subreddit for it. It’s really sick that people would do this. I’m so sorry that you have to see this and endure this, thank you for speaking out. Also very sorry for your loss :(
As someone who's life partner is ND and has had their ND condition misused by so many in the last many years (in a very similar fashion) I can empathise so much here. X
Fun fact:While I was at Tanaka of Tokyo,I had my first tic attack. I couldn’t even breath.
God that’s horrible..
I don’t have tics myself, but I can’t imagine how awful it must be.
These people are absolutely awful. I feel terrible that they’re making a mockery of people who actually have Tourette’s. I’m so so so sorry.
I made a response video on my tiktok account. I basically said that I’m ALL FOR humour related to Tourette’s, because I think it’s funny. But there’s a BIG difference between making a joke about TS and just being straight up disrespectful to an entire group of people. I’m just glad either tiktok deleted the account or they did it themselves. It was pathetic.
Unfortunately they have several different accounts
@@evanmbxx8897 yeah I ended up seeing that after. Whatever. They’re just ignorant
JULIAAAN
people like this are the reason why i cant exist around my parents without either feeling really uncomfortable or getting yelled at for something i cant control. i hate people like this. its been going on my entire life and only got bad now. the amount of times i have hurt myself or made myself bleed and my parents dont believe me.
i’m late but i’m very sorry for your loss, as someone with tics I appreciate the way that you handled this!- Pyro
I honestly think the whole faking tourettes trend on social media is disrespectful and awful. Makes me think of when people romanticize anxiety, depression, etc.
I'm so sorry you have to watch people faking/ making a mockery of something you genuinely deal with every day! I appreciate your content and have learned so much from your channel. So please keep it up!
I’m so sorry baby, about the tics and you’re grandpa....nobody deserves to go through tics.
The fact that TikTok doesn’t find this to be a problem but then if someone from a marginalized group of any sort including disabled people then they always take down the videos or have problems with them. This is just not okay at all!
I’m so sorry about your grandpa 💚 and yeah it makes me feel invalid in a way because now they’re a trend but when I was in high school I got bullied SO bad. I’ve never seen the people with the hoods tho.
Getting diagnosed with Tourette’s was both the best thing and the worst thing that happened to me. Recently I was hospitalized due to what we now know was medication induced dystonia and stayed there for over a week. Now these dystonic attacks were so bad that they thought I was having seizures so they brought in a neurologist and a psychiatrist to help them figure out that it was dystonia. Now I’ve had tics since I was seven but my mother only see saw it as being annoying and would often be very vocal about how it embarrassed her and that I needed to stop or I’d get in trouble. I literally told her my entire life that I couldn’t control it and that I wanted to see a neurologist or SOMEONE that could give me answers Bc my mom never believed me. The day he diagnosed me with Tourette’s and shutting down my mom was the best thing Bc you can’t argue with a neurologist OR a psychiatrist when they and all the doctors and nurses all said the same thing. Ofc my mother tried to discredit him and he literally stopped talking abruptly, stared at my mother for a minute and flat out was like “you know you have tics too right?” AND THE LOOK ON HER FACE WAS ✨PRICELESS✨. He then proceeded to point out her motor tics, as well as point out and make her realize that not only she had it, but so did my uncle. That combined with the fact that we know basically nothing my biological father’s bloodline made one hell of an argument and my mother deadass looked at him, looked at me, and then back at him and goes “well are you sure?” And he deadass stared her in the face basically told her “this is literally my fucking job I’m pretty damn sure” but like, way more formal and professional and it was fucking iconic.
I know this isn’t rlly what ur talking about but I wanted to get that out sorry
You should do a video exposing "ticsandroses" she's faking tourettes to promote her business on tiktok
This is terrible. A girl at my school did the exact same thing. I struggle from slight tics from OCD. When I first developed tics, they were terrible, but they’ve calmed down as I’ve gotten treatment for my OCD. I personally haven’t dealt with things like bullying, but I know other people absolutely have. This is just terrible.
i’m so sorry for your loss and thanks for addressing this bc this educate so meany people that this trend is fake and i know that it seams varey easy to spot that this is fake and like you should not jump to conclusion but they are doing it exactly on the beat and like you sed that tics are random. love your vids
I know it's been a while since this was posted but I still wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss 🫂
Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic!
I think I may have developed an anxiety tic? Because recently, I went shopping and head keeps turning down or to the side. And I get a lot of anxiety just being out in public.
But I’ve never ticced before, and I usually just grip my arm when I’m stressed. But now when I talk about tics or think about it, my head tweaks out?
@꧁Ash Rouge꧂ yes it does! Thank you for telling me ^^
@꧁Ash Rouge꧂ Thank you so much! I have been really stressed lately, and I’m glad I was able to talk with you!
i don’t think thats a tic, its most likely a coping mechanism. When the body is under stress it can do stuff like that.
but if you really believe you may have tics, you should seek a professional (cuz no one online can really help you with that)
You should never have to apologize for something you can’t control.
I am so sorry for your loss also this is extremely heartbreaking and unacceptable I don’t know why people think it’s okay 😢😔 i love your Chanel I’ve learned so much from you
We used to call people who hid whilst they bullied 'Cowards', but I’m a boomer so what do I know. I don’t care if they’ve redefined the word, taking the Micky out of people because of their impairment is bullying.
I'm sorry about your grandfather, I know it’s over a year but there’s no time limit on grief. I hope you’ve reached the stage where you can look back and think of him and smile.
power to you girl. 💖💖 if it makes you feel any better the internet is full of people who will do anything to get attention. even mental and physical illnesses.
I have tics (I'm 13) and I have been bullied since I developed verbal tics cos that's when people really noticed, and I had a person pretend to have tics (which triggerd mine and made me worse) but when the bullying got bad for her she stopped, and now a 'friend' has suddenly developed severe tics, in 2 days (like full on words and physical tics and I'm like.....uhhhh) and they trigger mine like really bad and this stuff just ugh it's awful
This is the trend that upset me more than any other, and it's because they're covering their faces. Why are they covering their faces? Because they know that they're doing something wrong.
2 of my close friends have tourettes i showed them and they started an actual tic attack so i have seen a real one before and this is just wrong i wanna spread awarness
it sucks for someone who’s tics became apparent right before the whole trend because now people think i’m faking
I’m sorry for your loss. Please look after yourself Carly….take some time for you. You are amazing.
Thank you for this!! As someone with Tourette's its incredibly insulting!! :c
There is a lot of kids that fake it, I am a child and I have tics I am on medication right now, but my tics have been still acting up a lot. It disgusts me the people that fake it.
I hate that these people are putting a negative connotation to the oodie too since they're a great brand.
I belive I might have this disorder Becuase for the past several months (when I did not even understand what it is or suspect I have it) I begin exhibiting tics and whenever an uncomfortable thought or situation would happen I would just involuntarily jerk around or make random noises (most of the time not words but sometimes they are) and yesterday Sombody got upseat and hit their computer screen and it caused me to bang my desk and shout out nonsense loudly, people looked at me and it was kind of embarrassing, I have autism but I don’t have any diagnosis for Tourette’s and I don’t wanna draw conclusions
Same goes with people romanticizing mental illnesses. As a person who spent 1.5 month in mental hospital in fall of 2015 and was diagnosed with paranoid schizopheria I wanna say, that it's not cool. Mental illnesses are a serious issue
As someone who has a tic disorder and a content creator on TikTok I will watch my videos and if I notice a single tic that can’t be played off I will redo the video because I am so terrified of being fake claimed
sweetheart :( i wanna give you the biggest hug ♥
i dont have tourettes so i hope its okay im saying this but ive noticed that people are only faking the sounds\words and hand gestures tics, but not the painful ones
My thoughts and prayers about your loss.
People don't understand that syndromes do not make you special, they are, unfortunately something that happens to some of us. I'm thankful for not having such a problem, and i at least try to understand their pain. Hope You everyone that reads this is ok
Their fake tics trigger my real tics sometimes and it exhausts me
I don’t have TS but I do have depression, anxiety, and ADHD. For a lot of my life, (up until about two or three years ago actually) I had always been told to keep my emotions to myself. So, when I finally went to my parents for help because I had started to feel depressed and everything, no one believed me. It actually took me falling into a really dark place before I was able to get help. Sadly, because I had never shown all of these emotions or anything, I didn’t know how to communicate them in a good, healthy way. As a result, I was bullied, accused of faking for attention, etc. There was even one girl, the person that bullied me the most, started acting like she had the disabilities I was dealing with and constantly tried to “outdo” or “one up” me. It was extremely obvious she was faking but there were several times when people would believe her and tell me to stop faking it. Especially when I was having panic attacks. I lost a lot of people I really cared about but it helped me to see who my real friends were. It really is so hard and terrifying. Carly, you are one of my role models and I think you are so beautiful and amazing. Keep up the good work! 💜
i don’t tic too often, only when i think about it too much or when i’m really happy/stimulated(?). i don’t know if that’s the right word. but they come and go so when i’m calmer and not thinking about it i’m fine. it’s lead to my mother making fun of me and saying i’m faking it when i genuinely can’t help it. and because when she brings it up it of course makes it worse, fun cycle and we love the good ol gaslighting. i’ve convinced myself that i’m just faking it for attention somehow, even know it happens when i’m alone as well and i get really embarrassed when it happens too much with people. i’ve hit desks in class because i hold in my tics and it builds up, the first verbal tic i had was ‘kill a cat’ and i wasn’t at all trying to look ‘quirky’ and i got genuinely embarrassed and self conscious of going outside incase i elbowed someone or i said kill a cat.
im on a waiting list to get tested for autism (for separate reasons) now and i’ve spoken to multiple professionals who are luckily on my side and say my mother just doesn’t understand where it comes from. now most of the tics i have are twisting my arm, winking, and bird noises pff. it’s definitely not as bad but it hurts my throat when it happens too much, and of course still would definitely rather not have it. When i’m writing and my arm twists i have to start again and when i’m in the middle of the shop with my mask on making bird noises without even noticing sometimes i get stares. my friends luckily understand, i have one who tics too who has helped me calm down in situations and get a distraction instead of bringing it up and making it worse.
i don’t have torrettes, i don’t know what it is because i haven’t been diagnosed but i’ve been told it could be a product of my possible autism diagnosis or general anxiety. it’s not related to stimming stim too.
but as someone who only really has minor tics, that are sometimes controlled even in the right environment. fuck it’s been difficult. my heart goes out to people who have it worse than me because it is tiring, not only with the tics but with the questions too. i don’t know why people would fake things like this for attention because it isn’t just physical, it is something that can affect you. it’s not quirky or fun or even relatable to people who actually get tics.
please get a personality that isn’t just you faking other people’s real issues because you could be spending your time you put into being fake, to something that’s actually a good cause.
TT: Imagine there was a trend where people faked things like cancer?...
Dunkins: 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗺?
Not a trend per-se but people have probably been doing this since before Internet existed. It falls under what used to be called Münchausen syndrome, now factitious disorder.
ok let me say something these are yound kids doing this but as a 15 year old and having motor tics and others it really offensive to me and i had this ever since i was a young little girl. I can't control them like they happend at home,school,church. I never seen a doctor because im scared that people thing im faking when im not and I got to say this but i have been through a whole that no kids should ever go through like it was bad and now tics are a "trend" and I think they should stop because some people like me can't help it and it hurts me and want to make me cry what these kids are doing.
MY little sister is faking tics. She only does it when people can see her. She only started after she was watching TikTok. I can't stand watching her fake it. I have good friends with tics and she knows that. thanks for bringing awareness to this problem
You should confront her if you can
People are worried that if they tic on camera then others will think they are faking it. I personally don't feel concerned about that. I would laugh if someone said I was. You have no idea the intense pressure and physical stimuli I feel all day that causes my tics. It's the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. My worst tic is when my entire chest gets a tickle that is so powerful and uncomfortable. It causes my shoulders to jerk and then I scream for 5 seconds. If someone told me I faked that, I would feel so pissed because they would be dismissing this awful tickle that runs through my entire body. If you have tics, don't worry about if others don't believe it. It's already hell dealing with tics.
My condolences about your grandma! I hope all gets better!
I don’t think you should say sorry if you tic it’s not your fault (I have tics). the kids who have “tics” just think that they’re getting followers. I got diagnosed at 5 years old with tics (my mom has diabetes and my granddad too and I have tics and autism) they should never fake! I love your channel!❤
Why would people want to fake tics? That is truly horrible. But faking tic attacks?? That is whole new level of bad. Tic attacks are so painful and awful, and the fact that these people are faking them for attention is disgusting. It sucks that our community is having to deal with this.
omg this is why i'm not on tictok as a 18 year old who has mental illnesses (not tourettes) that makes my life harder i can't believe people are doing this its sickening if i found out anyone i knew was doing this id go ballistic disorders like tourettes or honestly any disorder are real and hard to deal with on there own and faking them in any form is not ok it makes it so much harder for those who really have it and its just not ok i'm so upset by this. Its not a game or joke or a way to get followers or likes and the fact there are people at all let alone some of them kids out there doing it is not ok. I'm so sorry that this is or ever has happened and i'm giving you all virtual hugs because this is so messed up and if i'm upset and hurt by it and don't have tourettes i can only imagine how bad it must be for those who do.
I used to suffer from verbal tics due to a medication I took. they weren't debilitating but they were annoying and embarrassing. these people are disgusting
I don’t have Tourette’s but I have really bad anxiety tics so it hurts to see people doing this 🥺
i have a movement disorder and once i had a ticing fit for 3 hours. where i could do anything but have violent head and neck movements. it was so bad that i kept having severe tics for 3 weeks and i couldn't speak, read or think properly for weeks. it disgusts me when people fake this kind of stuff. they have no idea how stressful and humiliating it is to be walking around in public and to tic the amount of weird stares and fingers pointed at me is fucking horrible.
They probably don't even know what tics are. The fact you had to suffer with tics for ten years and people are over here DECIDING they have tics.
I literally don’t understand why people think that tics are “cute” and “adorable”. For me tics is a huge problem for me, I don’t tic all of the time and some people think that we always have tics everyday. My tics become active when I usually feel stressed because of school, but when I’m not that stress and I feel calm, I would have a few neck jerks then we are good. Tics is not a good thing to fake, I literally have neck pain because of my tics and it’s really not something I can heal whatsoever.
I’m so sorry for your loss
The worst part is that it’s not only kids some grown people have been doing it too
I hate the fact that this happens, i have horrible anxiety tics and it hurts when people make fun of it
You know its bad when this triggers this reaction.
This trend is frustating for me as well (i have tourettes), another thing i get mad at is fakeclaiming. I like watching youtube bc I get so concentrated i dont tic, but people see this and during class they say i fake tourettes bc i dont tic, i dont tic becuase im concentrated, and last year i kept swearing (as a tic) in ELA and this kid kept saying "BRO STOP THE TEACHERS RIGHT THERE" (we had a sub, he knew i had tourettes) and everyone in class knew, they were all defending me but when i googled tourettes to show him i had it he just said "yeah yeah suree, sure you do"
This just makes me so mad and sad at the same time.
No, it's not ok. Their accounts need to be taken down but it's more than that. Wot about educationing them, the understanding of a disability. When a person doesn't understand, they judge, bully and mock. Abuse in any form is not ok.
I have many tics with my eyebrows and they HURT. My eyebrow muscles hurt from that and I need help. Its not quirky or funny its painful. I hit my self I hurt from tics. Stop faking.
Sorry for your loss.
I have tics and this kind of stuff is the reason my parents refuse to believe I have them and the reason I'm forced to suppress them to the point of pain. It's terrible
I'm so sorry for your loss. And we'll help get this accounts taken down
It’s just sad on how people use a real illness or something we can cure as a trend and use it for social media and for views and stupid things like that it’s just so rude and disrespectful and disgusting :( and my friend got bullied for having adhd and that really made me wanna punch that person in the face 😡
People is faking abuse now -💀✋
I'm sorry for the pain and loss you experienced.
