"Not a Cosplay" What, is this your new Unoriginal Original Character, Edgy Mc Edge Saint Phalanx? Holy shit, my mans, I'm all for going into character but this kinda nonsense is ridiculous, and this is coming from a Roleplayer. This is character bleed from hell! Lol
I had a mutual who claimed to BE multiple characters and would get ‘triggered’ when someone was cosplaying ‘her’ and didn’t put a HUGE five second trigger warning
As of today, I'm not ashamed of my tics anymore. I don't cherish them nor do I find them quirky, I quite honestly would live better without them, but I don't feel like the odd one. I've never chosen to have them, while all those fakers chose to be pieces of 💩
Sending my love ❤️ Those of us who have one of these illnesses that the TikTok ers like to fake have typically lived in quiet shame of our disorders. I like your take on it. I will admit that these these tiktoks have made me feel more self conscious and as if it is even less safe to share what I struggle with. Fact is I didn't choose to have chronic illnesses. They aren't who I am and I don't base my personality around them, although they admittedly have a factor in shaping who I am. They have a real effect on me and my day-to-day life; the same holds true for others like me, including yourself. Hold your head up. Sharing your diagnosis or struggle shouldn't be shameful, and I'm sorry that people like this are making life more difficult for people with the disorders they're faking. We didn't choose this. Having any of these problems doesn't make one quirky or special,. They aren't supposed to be one's entire identity, and when it happens that someone with one of these disorders makes it they're identity, they tend to be miserable and in need of support and therapy. This can happen early on after diagnosis, and I worry that these people will be treated cruelly, in a large part due to these fakers.
You should never be ashamed of your condition. The people who fake mental health conditions are the ones who should be ashamed. This new trend of filming your hand shaking to confirm you have anxiety disorder or PTSD is disgusting. I have diagnosed complex ptsd and generalised anxiety disorder and my hands are as steady as a rock unless I’m having a panic attack or something sets off my symptoms…..So these fakers would claim my clinical diagnosis is wrong, just because my hands aren’t constantly shaking.
I'd never wish to have them, but people with Tics have never, ever, ever, ever been a "problem". I've worked with the public for YEARS and have seen it all. The worst of the Tics look so unbelievably painful and stressful, but they aren't at all "bothersome". We see you for who you are and don't judge you on your Tics. Period.
Hey! I'm glad that ur not depressed or sad abt it. I do get those shivers (i think its an anxiety thing?) and theyre annoying. Idk if this message irritated u or not, but have a good day :D
There's a German UA-camr, who was on a documentary about torretts and people were so interested in him, that he and his friend started a UA-cam channel documenting his life. Their channel basically blew up over night. As seemingly every UA-cam channel they have been through some controversy, but recently the guy had a surgery to help reduce his ticks and stuff! I think those are the types of channels that need more attention, but people faking illnesses take away from those and spread false information and enforce stereotypes
That’s the difference between actual awareness videos and tiktok fakers. “I’m being extreme with wrong stereotypes so I can spread awareness about something” vs “hey, I have this, this is what it’s like”
We’ve seen it with the bad de-transitioners. “Transitioning worked for trans people, it doesn’t work because I did it and I’m cis”. It’s only a matter of time.
10:01 As an autistic person, I've never just posted a video and been like, "omg guys, look how autistic I am lmao". Like, stop 😭 And the tics thing too. I have ALOT of tics. For me it's just part of my life. It's just how I am. I don't expect, nor want sympathy or any special treatment for it. It annoys me that there are people who think tics and tourettes is so quirky, and then fake it because they want special attention.
the only thing i dont agree with about this video is getting a wheelchair can be something worth celebrating! a lot of people need mobility devices for chronic pain, muscle/bone weakness, pots, etc. and getting a properly fitted wheelchair is often difficult and expensive. so, definitely something worth celebrating imo
True!! A few of my cousins have congenital problems with their backs or hearts, and even though they all prefer not to use them when possible, having insurance agree to pay for nice wheelchairs was awesome news. Family get togethers are so big that they can be overly taxing, so having an option for them to sit and be wheeled around when we're walking a lot is great!
I remember when I had to borrow a wheelchair one time. I suffer from a congenital heart disease from birth and that causes other things like CVS (Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome) and due to high amounts of stress and other intense emotions I get sick and have to be hospitalised because I cannot keep any food or water down without being sick which will make me very dehydrated. One year after being in hospital for weeks because of this I was very weak so I had to borrow a wheelchair because even though I can walk just fine I was very weak after getting out of the hospital so I had one and while I had a lovely day at the park despite this, I felt like a fraud because I don't need one to walk and I borrowed one. I was afraid someone would call me out and say I was a faker even though it was one day. I cannot understand how people can be completely fine with having wheelchairs when they can walk just fine, it is awful.
Well, in a system, every alter HAS a "role" or a "use" I guess. Thats like if theres a tree of jobs and instead of employees filling it, its alters, kind of.
I just assume the makeup and shi are because of different tastes and stuff. I just dont like how they say it isnt cosplay or dress up when it is. Alters can also cosplay and dress however they while being an alter. Its like if I dressed up as my persona in my pfp and say thats that isnt just me wanting to look like my persona/what i portray myself as. You can also just do it for comfort reasons which a lot of people in the cosplay community do.
"system"- individuals who have specific roles, personalities, abilities. A highly organized "system" will be unnoticeable, because like a good computer all the components work towards a single goal. Some use the make-up to identify which alter is in a position of communication with the outter world. These are not Ego's, they are fragments of a very young traumatized child's personality that have been developed before the age of 10 after years of extreme, severe, and profound trauma.
Stimming is different for everyone, working with people with autism I see the differences. It’s not just leg bouncing. It can be hand shaking with sounds, it can be banging on tables, or even stimming and hitting or flicking themselves and this can just be because they are excited by a movie or music. These people faking make me sad because I just want to see the inclusion of the young adults I work with. Stims are different just like autism itself is different for each and every person.
Even more ironic is that stimming isnt even a sign of autism and literally everyone does it. Its not a special or abnormal thing like some people believe it is. Its completely and 100% normal. Its just that with autism, or in some cases its extreme anxiety, it is more noticeable due to heightened emotions and is a whole lot harder to control.
While I’m not diagnosed with autism (yet, doctor has a whole six month waiting list) I don’t think these fake disorder people understand that stimming isn’t always super obvious. I never had the stereotypical hand-flapping nor have any of my autistic friends who are already ‘official’. While I know we can’t speak for all other autistic people, it seems that a suspiciously large percent of these tik tokers only have stims that make them ‘look disabled but in a cute way’. Stuff like skin/scalp picking, breath holding, pacing, jaw clenching, teeth grinding? Not cute enough! Not obvious enough!
I agree. These fakers take the generalised symptoms, and take the mickey out of it. All of these disorders affect us all differently. Only a genuine diagnosis would help. Oh, sorry, they want us to lay for that diagnosis now...... guess we will never truly know what they have.
Lmao these videos make me laugh. I have autism, OCD and bipolar disorder all diagnosed over the course of my life. I don’t understand why anyone would ever want to have these things wrong with them. This shit makes my life hard asf, especially when I’m unmedicated. My quality of life without medications is unbearable. Mental illness is NOT cute
Exactly... my life has been HELL also not to mention your own parents oftentimes treat you differently from your siblings or straight up emotionally or physically abuse you for it like my mother did. It's not cute.
Well when you can just turn off your fame problems they're apparently fun for attention and sympathy. I encounter the same with people who also have 'PTSD' and 'depression'.
@@FairyPhantasia I have ptsd from severe abuse and it really is crazy feeling for me. It sucks. My life keeps going back to a time, dissociated and thinking and never trusting anyone. I saw someone the other day that says their ptsd doesn't effect then in a negative way and they haven't even found one bad trait yet. I was just dumbfounded.
i have diagnosed ADHD, i’m medicated. i wouldn’t say i want sympathy from people but understanding that my brain might not function the same as a lot of people is always appreciated! people always get annoyed at me for fidgeting and messing around with stuff but i find if my brain isn’t stimulated i get a huge dopamine crash and start feeling very sad. i’m always pulling things apart in my house and pacing around and i know it can be frustrating for people who don’t understand!
How did Papa know exactly how I react every time one of his videos comes out? The only thing missing is the cartwheels and backflips I do! Keep up the great work brother!!
2:45 I think they mean endogenic, like a "system" formed "without trauma" They're pretty much mad bc people are telling them they can't have DID without trauma lmao
That one I find most insulting. I don’t have DID but I experience forms of dissociation from a trauma disorder. I was evaluated for it when I was getting diagnosed.
If they were having an actual mental health incident, one would think the last thing they’d be cognitive of was #1. Record it and #2. Post it for the world to see. I will say these individuals do need help, but with some version of being a HYPOCHONDRIAC.
Honestly it's nice learning about disorders not seen often in person and misinterpreted on the internet. My only exposure to Tourette's before yours and Retro's channels was years ago in The Voice Australia, a contestant had neck and vocal twitches and the show really went ham on his Tourette's and using it to promote him and the show. Amazing vocalist but it was disgusting how the show made his Tourette's define him.
Man these people actually make the representation of regular people with these disorders as completely unstable its insane the amount of damage these fakers actually cause
As someone who was diagnosed with tics at the age 3. This is really embarrassing seeing how so many people want it so bad to the point of faking it, it’s really terrible having it I can’t even do normal things without anyone calling me weirdo,self diagnosed or something like that because of people who fake tics.
May I ask what real ticing (sp?) is like? I've only ever seen fakers do it and I'd like to know so I can be more understanding of people who actually deserve my patience.
@@maggiem6209 well I'd be happy to explain it well real ticking is not what people who faked it think it's really hard to deal with i get random tics from either what I hear, and watch sometimes I could go 3 or 5 hours without single tic but you could say that it's kinda shitty to have especially if your in like at test so I go to school from home
You can guarantee if asylums still existed no of these people would be acting like this and if they did they would regret it real quick. It’s easy to convince people you have a mental disorder but almost impossible to prove that you are sane and healthy. I think a guy did that once to prove it or try and get away with a crime and got stuck in a mental hospital for years. Going to go look that up after this video.
1:37 why is it whenever you see the 'it isn't cosplay, it's the real me' or whatever nuts they're real selves are always some character that's psychotic or a murderer? None of the are ever 'I am Naruto' or 'I am Nurse Joy' or any wholesome characters
I'm sorry but I had to react to the first one. When I'm really frustrated or upset, I tend to bash my head into furnitures or walls. I try to divert myself from doing it (logical reason lol). That being said, I would never film myself being in this vulnerable state. And I would never have the time to film it. Maybe after it, but not while doing it, that would make me more mad in fact. And yes, it's not fun, at all.
With all that difficulty you’re dealing with,I know you sure as hell don’t put on clown makeup. Please take care of yourself and hope you will be alright!😊
I just want to poimt out that for some, getting a wheelchair can be a positive thing. Some people have mobility issues or a lot of pain when they're moving and while they still have the use of their legs it can be really difficult to get through life if walking or standing causes you a lot of pain. In those cases getting a wheelchair is actually a good thing cause it allows for them to go places and do things without being in horrible pain constantly. Not sure if the person in the tiktok needs one, but I just wanted to point out that mobility aids like canes, walkers and wheelchairs are often a good thing. Of course nobody normal wants to need one but for those who do, they're a really good thing when you finallt get one.
YES!! IM THE PERSON THAT SAID I WAS GETTING THE WHEELCHAIR!! I HAVE A DISORDER CALLED POTS AND JUMPING/WALKING TO MUCH WILL MAKE ME PASS OUT SO I USE A CANE!! IM USING IT IN THE VIDEO😭 AND IM GETTING A WHEELCHAIR FOR IT TO BE EASIER FOR ME
These kids obviously don't realize/care about the consequences of their "quirky disorders." Mental and physical disorders have been demonized enough throughout history, and this is just making things even worse for those who are ACTUALLY struggling with these problems. It's sad, really.
I personally prefer your facecam videos over those very generic looking looping gameplay footage. So many people are doing that exact thing now, even with the exact same games ,it's refreshing to see you step away from that mold.
Most of the people who use wheelchairs can walk. While lots of these people are fakers the wheelchair one is hard to figure out and it’s really invalidating to have people saying folk are faking with that. I have needed a wheelchair for years, it’s why I don’t ever go out now because I may walk a little but I won’t be able to stand up after 10 minutes out. So the wheelchair one you should be more careful
The name “tic Tok” really makes sense now. Also, I’m super glad to see that girl mention what tics are actually like. Because of my Tics i wake up everyday with a sore neck cause of it and it’s frustrating as hell. Good to see someone talk about it tho
I have been a cosplayer since 2019 and I can tell you it was so much better then in the cosplay community everyone is either faking mental illness or they're bringing down others and all they do is cancel is swear almost every single cosplayer is getting canceld mostly bc of this faking disorders stuff I used to cosplay multiple characters a day after I came home from school and would walk around in my cosplays the rest of the day now I cosplay once evry few months bc ever single trend is just faking stuff or bringing them down and I have to be honest for everyone saying cosplay was cringe back in 2019 no it wasn't it was fun then now cosplay is cringe
I feel like us cosplayers are really badly effected from this, along with the DID people. ‘not a cosplay, it’s an alter’ okay, just accept that you owned a Miku cosplay in 2015 and move on.
@@kurapikakurta1997 exactly! The cosplay community has gotten to toxic because of this like I would rather go back be called emo then having to deal with all of these people
My happy stims include (in order of frequency): -hitting myself on the forehead -slapping my chest -rubbing my face really hard -clapping -shaking my hands and punching myself And this is followed by an ashamed look because I can’t control it.
I was traveling with my high school student council group. We were at the airport and I had a stressful moment that brought on an OCD flair. Standing in line for my ticket I am crying and pulling / ringing my hands to deal with my intrusive thoughts. The kids around me then the adults started saying over and over again, to please stop you are safe you have nothing to worry about just calm down. Well I just got worse and I was like bro really do you think I want to be doing this in the middle of an airport. I’m trying to calm myself down and they weren’t helping and making it worse.
As a parent of a toddler with autism, and as potentially having it myself, and in the process of getting a diagnosis, this is beyond infuriating. All these teens do it and pretend it’s fun, but actual autistic children tend to be outcast from their peers. I worry every day about my daughter when she’s that age and how people are going to treat her and you have idiots out there like this pretending it’s a game.
whenever I used to have a tic as a kid, my dad would smack me in the back of the head and tell me to knock it off... I was diagnosed with Aspergers at 15...and that was quite a while ago. I have an eye tick and a thumb cracking tic that actually gets so bad it's horribly painful. I am embarrassed when it happens and try to suppress the feeling until I can't, people think I'm rolling my eyes, so I started pulling down my bottom eyelid quickly instead...that way it looks like my eye has an irrtation instead.. my thumb tick gets bad usually at night, but having a phone in my hand makes it not look so weird to others. I'm always concerned of people seeing...I wouldn't dare try to record myself and have it pointed out.
I find it funny that I never see things like Bipolar Disorder being faked. It's not fun and quirky to mimic so why would they? But just like these other disorders, it freaking sucks and is so fun to deal with.
I had a mutual on tiktok who claimed to be certain anime characters. Like once every week she would post about how she realized she was a character. She ofcourse was self-diagnosed 😍 If someone posted a video of a cosplay of a character she was, she would get ‘triggered’ and asked everyone to make 5 second trigger warnings that covered the whole screen 😭 I just wonder what happens when two people ‘are’ the same character
You just made me remember I knew this girl (non binary sorry but a girl) who claimed to be a system and her other "versions" were ofc Danganronpa characters included Nagito and Kokichi
That first one is just the worst. People with Autism don't act like children!! Period!! I know grown adults with Autism, and even the ones who have a lower maturity don't act like that girl. What a slap in the face!! Neurodivergent people aren't babyish! They just think differently and SOMETIMES have stims and SOMETIMES are nonverbal and SOMETIMES have other disabilities...but they are some of the coolest people freaking ever. My friend is both highly aware of his emotions AND logical, and he'd make an amazing therapist. He doesn't effing jump up and down and laugh like a child omg.
it’s so crazy that tics are desired by these kinds of people. uwu uwu im having a cute little tic attack. when i have tic attacks i end up hurting myself and damaging things. when i have tic attacks at work i the next day im embarrassed to come back in because i know all of my coworkers have seen an extremely vulnerable side of me that i try my best to keep away. i have to worry about chunks of my pay being left out of my check so they can repair expensive equipment that i damaged. it’s not cute. it’s not quirky. it’s scary and it’s exhausting and it absolutely sucks not to have control of yourself.
“Endogenic systems” are supposed systems who formed without trauma. (For the record, this is impossible.) Anti-endos means people who don’t think “endogenic systems” are real.
There is a whole community who are focused on creating Tulpa's, a tulpa is a being that begins in the imagination but acquires a tangible reality and sentience. Tulpas are created either through a deliberate act of individual will or unintentionally from the thoughts of numerous people. While these appear to be like alters from someone with D.I.D. they are completelly different and can be come strong enough to supress the perssonality of their creator.
@@toscatattertail9813 I am well-aware of tulpas, but I don’t believe in them. They’re either glorified imaginary friends (if created intentionally) or alters under a different name (if appearing spontaneously). In fact, an online acquaintance who has DID told me that the original tulpas from Tibetan Buddhism were likely a pre-psychology explanation for alters. After all, this disorder has presumably existed for as long as humans have; it was likely due to lack of documentation that the first known case wasn’t until the 1500s, and, even then, the diagnosis was made hundreds of years later; at the time, the patient was thought to be possessed by demons. And, finally, I’m not sure if you’ll believe me, but I can speak from personal experience. I have OSDD-1B, confirmed by my therapist, and I used to think I had tulpas because I didn’t lose time (I only knew about _DID_ at the time) and I didn’t realize I had trauma because the fucked-up situations I was in had become normalized to me. To this day, I still sometimes recall something from my childhood or early teenage years and spontaneously realize that it was abnormal and disturbing in hindsight.
It makes my blood boil to see things like this. When I switch it causes seizures most of the time because it is so traumatic. Things like this are not fun for the person suffering from them, and in most cases cause physical pain.
You know.. back in my high school/early adult years (90s/early 2000s) mental health wasn’t really discussed that much. If you were diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, Depression, anxiety (all the things that I have actually been diagnosed with by an actual doctor..) you didn’t speak of it. It’s was some what embarrassing. I didn’t want to talk about having to take different meds as a jr and sr in high school. Now that I’m in my late 30s, it blows my freaking mind at how lost these newer generations(and a good bit of mils) are. They are so desperate to feel included…To feel anything… that they will do the most absurd things for views. It makes me sad actually. Lucky for me, my mental health is better than it ever has been and I no longer take any meds (though my OCD has gotten worse with age). I am very blessed! I cannot imagine having some of these other disorders nor do I want to. This might be a tad shitty to say… but I think that if you pretend to have these disorders, maybe you deserve to have to deal with them for a while. Life could ALWAYS BE WORSE! People don’t seem to look at things from that perspective now days. I stay off of social media bc it is toxic af. I’m beyond thankful I grew up when I did… and I’m reminded of this daily.
I'm glad my kid isn't cringe or really into social media like Tik Tok. I make sure he grows up the right way, being called slurs while playing FPS games online
I’m cold in my room while watching this and I’m really thinking about this generation I’m ashamed to be apart of it. Why do people think this is okay ☹️☹️
The most annoying thing is, even though I don't have Tourettes, I have complex motor function tics. So being a cashier/chef where I work. I could overseason your food because my hand that day thought it was a good idea to throw a damn fit, OR I could be handing someone their cigarettes/change and throwing it at them unintentionally. It's annoying as all hell when my hands, don't want to hand. Or the head tics, I could be mid-sentence, and the tensing sensation of my neck (Almost like a cold chill, but tingly?) cuts me off and I make a weird noise. Then I have to explain the whole thing to my boss because a complaint has been lodged. It's a hassle, I don't wish any of these things on someone and the idea to fake them for views and attention is pitiful and they should all be ashamed of themselves. It makes life actually hard, but here's the kicker. I have high-intensity ADHD and now throw in that complex motor tic. It's like having Tourettes on steroids. @Ablaze I love your content and calling out these posers makes my day.
im afraid of working for this exact reason, i feel like i wont be able to work because of my tics. not just out of fear of all of this stuff, but out of fear that people wont understand it and will just complain.
I watch your videos all the time, and you mention head tics. I don’t know if I have ever actually noticed them. I don’t have any disabilities that effect my physical movements, other than the occasional aggressive twitches and skin picking, which is caused by my anxiety and has become a coping mechanism to minor things. So I don’t understand quite how painful it can possibly be. My favorite city “crazy” guy we had when I was a kid had severe Tourette’s and was an older guy who rode around on a skateboard. Very kind, but he did laugh when he scared someone by yelling profanity in public spaces. It was usually me, but I never held it against him. He passed away a few years ago
They act like stimming is a choice when its kind of not I do it unconiously without realizing, and I just do it when I'm excited. Like if I have a strong emotion I can't not stim, I can tone it down if I really try but I HAVE to stim. If I don't stim it literally feels like theirs like energy flowing under my skin building up that needs to be released
i do it unconsciously as well, mine is mainly making a sort of like "hm" noise from like the back of my throat and i dont realize im doing it until someone points it out. shit sucks bro
How do these people find enablers to surround themselves with while faking disorders meanwhile most people like me who are actually struggling with these kinds of issues can’t even get support from immediate family? Man some people were just born lucky and into families that will tolerate bullsh*t to no end
I think all the kids faking mental illnesses is a bit like mass hysteria. Their subconsciouses become convinced and that leads to them actually believing that they do.
the wheelchair one can make sense in some cases, when i got my first wheelchai, i was excited because it meant not falling or fainting or dislocating my hips
as someone that getting stress ticks recently, I cant imagine living my whole life ticking for no apparent reason (my ticks happen when I'm in stressful situations and/or in panic attacks) and the fact this kids think its quirky and cute is honestly sad.
We bought my dad a wheelchair off of Craigslist for his birthday one year. The reason being is in college, his dorm had an old spare (unused for years,) so he and his buddies would practice wheelies in it. We visited one of his buddies and he had one in his home he’d do stunts with, so we figured our dad would love to have one of his own! Everyone loves doing stunts in the wheelchair, now! (NOTE: the one in his dorm and the *used* ones owned by us and the friend are all meant only for temporary transport of patients.)
I actually work with a girl who is like this... I mean, I'm not a professional so I know I'm not in a position to say whether it's real or not in her case but it's frustrating because she tries to tell customers (we work in retail together) about her "system" and alters and such... It's just sad to see people are encouraging this kind of behavior...
I have been struggling hard core since 2011 with D.I.D. It sounds like there is one within her system that is looking for validation...that she has value. But someone needs to kindly tell her or the alter if possible that casual conversations about personal matters with customers isn't doing them or the system any favors .The truth is that kind of over-sharing could loose them the job.
DID - alternate personality’s don’t form until the 30s and 40s. Presents like schizophrenia in kids and young adults. People with the condition don’t know they have it and aren’t aware of the “switches.” Diagnosis isn’t confirmed until the early to mid 30s. People with the condition cannot switch and disassociate at will and the protective “switching” mechanism is only triggered by trauma. The condition needs severe childhood trauma to form. Effects under 1% of the entire nearly 8 billion human population. Teenagers in tiktok……Can control their switches at will. Are 100% in control of the condition. Know they have the condition. Have lived a comfortable life and are spoilt brats. Have symptoms that aren’t typical of DID. Have time to film a whole video and change costumes. 90% of people on TikTok have DID I think they might be faking.
I had to stay in the same house for a long time with a person who had mania and manifestations of schizophrenia. I'm so sick of all these loafers in Tiktok. For them, this is attention and fun, when in reality mental disorders is are years of therapy, potentially difficulties for the rest of life, destroyed families and deep traumas. I'm just so sick, it's so damn disgusting.
I was professionally diagnosed with D.I.D and it’s not something fun or creative to have. It’s a very serious condition that is revolved around ptsd. It’s literally not fun when I get a trigger from my ptsd and an alter fronts. It’s literally not candy and rainbows. It’s severely annoying when you don’t remember what you did or where you are, my fiancé struggles with helping me for the most part cause not a lot of people are educated enough to handle someone with D.I.D
Stimming isn’t cute. I have diagnosed ASD and many of my stims are self injurious like picking at skin till it bleeds. It’s not cute, it’s fucking painful and I don’t realize how much it hurts till I’ve already done it.
@@neko7606 I do the same thing. But those stims aren't brought to light or talked about. its always just turned into "uwu handflapping". tbh i only handflap when im very excited during an event like christmas or my birthday. or times im overly excited
I had serotonin syndrome for a few months getting used to stimulants, tics are not fun and quirky. They’re extremely uncomfortable and can be embarrassing.
What makes no sense to me is when those "systems" never have normal names. You never see any of those having an alter named "Josh" or "Rachel", I've never ever seen someone present themselves like "hello, I am Olivia", it's always the "onyx", the "shadowbane" or those named after anime/game characters; like, cmon, if you have an alter that has a different experience from yours but lives with the people you live or even knows the people you know and all of those people they know have normal names, where the f@ck would they get a name like that? It's like, imagine you just found a child that doesn't remember anything prior from you finding them besides some interactions they have been thrown on, a child that has seen some adults talk but only exists and knows nothing but those words the grownups said, also this kid knows they're on a life-threatening situation and is actively trying to figure out a way to get out of it, how and why would they think of themselves as someone named "Maple"; they freaking need to survive the worst situation on their lives, just how??? Systems are, at least on theory, formed like that; it's someone else that doesn't know about the same things you do mostly and needs to mask as if they were you, to survive. Wouldn't it be weird if they had an extremely different voice and name?! I mean, they are different people and they live through different stuff but things would definitely get more difficult by doing that, also the human mind wouldn't waste resources it barely has, while trying to survive something it perceives as deadly, trying to create a different voice/tone or a "really cool name". I think it's just like it was said on the video, showing all that is a double edged sword, it gets people that have it to be more comfortable to talk about it but it also give those fakers a lot of material to keep faking it. I don't get the fact that they won't even think for a second about what that was supposed to do, like DID was supposed to protect and be "hidden" even from the person that has it as the purpose is to lift a burden, just like when you see something getting close real fast you close your eyes, it's a reaction from your body and mind to protect you, it's not supposed to show everyone else that you're in danger but to get you through danger unscathed.
A System is made up of multiple individuals, how would you like to be part of a group but only one person is recognized by name. -- the system name is often a reflection of the events that created the disorder, Onyx is a beautiful but brittle gemstone, Shadowbane may refer to the ability of the system to eliminate the shadows in a person's life. Mine is just the Crew, they have been together since 6 years old and have shared responsiblities and roles to make everyone thing there is a "normal child" behind the eyes and body.
@@toscatattertail9813 but seriously, why not have a normal name? Why make it so that your alters can be easily identifiable when the illness is made to be unrecognizable even for the one suffering from it? Also you know they're not thinking those names through like that. They're flashy with an illness, it's like self-diagnosed tetraplegic people that walk and move like normal, they're not supposed to do that, that's what the illness limits. Another thing is the self-diagnosing stuff, how can people be so sure and talk about their experience with something that they don't even know they have. Diagnosis may be a luxury in north america but at least don't be all "I have this" when you could say "I may have this" or "I'm undiagnosed but I'm thinking about this", it seriously damages other people's judgement on it and the life of those who are diagnosed with it.
It took me years to get diagnosed with ehlers Danlos, and I was housebound for about a year before I was even considered for a wheelchair… and then I had to have several tests to see what kinds of aides I needed. I was already using a cane, and they tested for everything. Finally I got my final chair a year later. Yes I wanted to party because I could go to the grocery store again. I still only leave the house about once a month; but now I can. I still have people tell me I’m not “trying hard enough” and I should be not using my chair. I don’t get these kids.
How are you not trying hard enough when you have a physical disability? Also from what I understand EDS is a condition that causes your joints to dislocate for seemingly no reason.
@@Kitty666Obsidian there are many people who think that you can brute force your way into not being disabled again. Like if I went to the gym every single day and ran 10 miles and was a raw vegan… Like, it’s bullocks. But that’s ableism for you.
its not just tictoc anymore its spread to discord servers allowing systems/alters claiming its d.i.d and ive taken to going into those servers and angering them so they expose themselfs
there have been servers that are focused on D.I.D and other dissociative disorder since 2009, possibly before.There are also servers that focus on creating Tulpa's... a tulpa is a being that begins in the imagination but acquires a tangible reality and sentience. Tulpas are created either through a deliberate act of individual will or unintentionally from the thoughts of numerous people. Why you would want to do something like this when it can backfire and have serious consequences i will never understand.
I have a condition that affects my knees and when it flares up it makes walking so incredibly painful. a few years ago I was heading to the store with my mom and all of a sudden it flared up. I told my mother I should just stay in the car instead of making a fool of myself by lymping and walking incorrectly because of the pain. she suggested I use this wheelchair type cart the store had (its hard to explain but it was at target I think?) and I immediately felt awful. because I didn't want people to think that I was faking my pain because sometimes I'm okay and sometimes im not. so after a long fight i ended up just sitting in the car and waiting for my mother even though I was super excited about going to the store. like I just don't understand how people are so open to sharing all of this stuff with millions of people when in actuality I feel like actual suffers of these things would rather keep it hidden.
when I have a meltdown I lie on the floor crying, trying to hit other part of my body than head and I end up hitting my head on the floor and when it gets a little bit better i crawl to my meds and then I cry on the floor huging myself. there must be something wrong with me if others just stand there happily wiggling their arms and they are okay after minutes
I have face ticks (mostly my nose and neck) and i got bullied alot by both people at school and by my family. They would literally hold my nose to make me stop twitching right in a middle of a conversation or call me names and laugh at me and called me "ticks" or "tick/twitch chick". It makes me sad that people "wants" this for clout rn, like it's not something fun. Im still not fully ok with my ticks either but im working on it :/
I’ve seen these kids talk about ‘masking’ like it’s a bad thing, and only ‘to make normies more comfortable,’ which they see as ‘bad.’ I have a few friends with different disorders that are sometimes hard to hide, as well as CPTSD, which has a lot of different symptoms, which can be noticeable. Most of us excuse ourselves if we are about to act in a way that isn’t normal. This is so we can collect ourselves and get back to whatever we are doing. It’s also so strangers don’t get invasive when we are already dealing with shit we don’t want. I’ve had strangers ask me what happened to me when I said I was having a flashback. Someone wanted to fight a friend of mine when he was having a psychotic episode due to a problem with his meds. I’m also not sure why trying to minimize the visibility of your condition to make others comfortable is a bad thing. Not everyone has been exposed to every psych issue, and not everyone is equipped to handle seeing it. There’s a big difference between telling someone what it looks like and having them find out because something happened. Telling people while you don’t have visible symptoms goes over way better than just letting them see it, full force. It also makes your symptoms easier to manage if you collect yourself as much as possible (when able). If it’s real, you should want to minimize your symptoms for yourself and for others.
Ive had tics since i was 5-6 yo (Im 22 now). That doesnt mean i have Tourette's lmao. I have a symptom of Tourette's, yes but i dont have the disorder lol. Ive heard that my tics are from my ADHD so there you go. Tics doesnt equal Tourette's.
I feel bad for the people who actually need wheel chairs since there's a lot that can stand and walk for small periods so they can get something or do something, but it tends to be painful to do so or they can only do it for a bit until it starts hurting again. There's already a lot of stigma for people who use wheel chairs cause people paint the picture of you must be paralyzed at the legs and can't do anything, even though that's a small percentage of people who use wheel chairs, there are a lot of reasons to use a wheel chair and I can't image how much worse it's gotten for them now that tiktok fakers are so popular and making people even more skeptical.
My day isn’t complete until I get a video from ablaze about TikTok and all it’s cringe. I only regret that you have to sit and watch all these and go through it bro 🤣
I remember seeing a #notcosplay of someone in a purposeful full Wilbur DSMP cosplay, audio and all and being extremely confused. Elf ears, Minecraft earrings, scar makeup??? I was very confused and thought it was a joke for the longest time
As a big fan of Wilbur, and also a person undergoing therapy, I feel personally attacked seeing how people fake mental disorders by taking his personality. But- It can be worse, in the case of those who find the audacity and ignorance to call their "alter" a Technoblade. It's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. And I don't understand how these individuals get away with everything.
@@tonysparda9281 oh shit I completely forgot about the dmsp ‘alters’ kids. How shitty of a person do you have to be to fake an alter of a guy whose passed away tragically
The Only way to stop the fakers is to smash that bell button xoxox
GenZ faking disorders is fucking cringe (i hitted the like button so fucking hard)
*B O T T O M - T E X T*
i love watching this these people are a joke and just make it harder for us to get the correct care but its still funny
Yeah, smashing that bell button on them, repeatedly. /j
🖤🖤🖤
You have beautiful eyes
As a cosplayer it sucks seeing people fake disorders while in cosplay and saying they're actually the character. It makes me ill.
I’m all for getting in character, but taking an illness while putting ‘not a cosplay’ in the corner is wrong
@@kurapikakurta1997 AGREED
"Not a Cosplay" What, is this your new Unoriginal Original Character, Edgy Mc Edge Saint Phalanx? Holy shit, my mans, I'm all for going into character but this kinda nonsense is ridiculous, and this is coming from a Roleplayer. This is character bleed from hell! Lol
I had a mutual who claimed to BE multiple characters and would get ‘triggered’ when someone was cosplaying ‘her’ and didn’t put a HUGE five second trigger warning
@@juliabythebeatles that also kills that cosplayers reach and engagement if they were to do that 😒
As of today, I'm not ashamed of my tics anymore. I don't cherish them nor do I find them quirky, I quite honestly would live better without them, but I don't feel like the odd one. I've never chosen to have them, while all those fakers chose to be pieces of 💩
Sending my love ❤️ Those of us who have one of these illnesses that the TikTok ers like to fake have typically lived in quiet shame of our disorders. I like your take on it. I will admit that these these tiktoks have made me feel more self conscious and as if it is even less safe to share what I struggle with. Fact is I didn't choose to have chronic illnesses. They aren't who I am and I don't base my personality around them, although they admittedly have a factor in shaping who I am. They have a real effect on me and my day-to-day life; the same holds true for others like me, including yourself. Hold your head up. Sharing your diagnosis or struggle shouldn't be shameful, and I'm sorry that people like this are making life more difficult for people with the disorders they're faking. We didn't choose this. Having any of these problems doesn't make one quirky or special,. They aren't supposed to be one's entire identity, and when it happens that someone with one of these disorders makes it they're identity, they tend to be miserable and in need of support and therapy. This can happen early on after diagnosis, and I worry that these people will be treated cruelly, in a large part due to these fakers.
You should never be ashamed of your condition.
The people who fake mental health conditions are the ones who should be ashamed.
This new trend of filming your hand shaking to confirm you have anxiety disorder or PTSD is disgusting.
I have diagnosed complex ptsd and generalised anxiety disorder and my hands are as steady as a rock unless I’m having a panic attack or something sets off my symptoms…..So these fakers would claim my clinical diagnosis is wrong, just because my hands aren’t constantly shaking.
I'm happy for you. Be blessed!!
I'd never wish to have them, but people with Tics have never, ever, ever, ever been a "problem". I've worked with the public for YEARS and have seen it all. The worst of the Tics look so unbelievably painful and stressful, but they aren't at all "bothersome". We see you for who you are and don't judge you on your Tics. Period.
Hey! I'm glad that ur not depressed or sad abt it. I do get those shivers (i think its an anxiety thing?) and theyre annoying. Idk if this message irritated u or not, but have a good day :D
There's a German UA-camr, who was on a documentary about torretts and people were so interested in him, that he and his friend started a UA-cam channel documenting his life. Their channel basically blew up over night. As seemingly every UA-cam channel they have been through some controversy, but recently the guy had a surgery to help reduce his ticks and stuff!
I think those are the types of channels that need more attention, but people faking illnesses take away from those and spread false information and enforce stereotypes
I agree
That’s the difference between actual awareness videos and tiktok fakers. “I’m being extreme with wrong stereotypes so I can spread awareness about something” vs “hey, I have this, this is what it’s like”
Yeah. Gewitter im Kopf did some good stuff.
But I have this feeling they aren’t famous anymore because of that. I don’t hear anything about them anymore
Next level: getting on chemo without needing it. Remember people, I called it first.
A month or two ago i would have laughed this off. But i’m sure this will unironically come true.
We’ve seen it with the bad de-transitioners. “Transitioning worked for trans people, it doesn’t work because I did it and I’m cis”. It’s only a matter of time.
There are already people doing it, saw a video about it just 2 days ago, so my bro, guess ur late 😂😂😭
Well people have gotten the kids operated on, had feeding tubes put in, etc with out needing. So I wouldn't be completely surprised.
Well a lady on r/illnessfakers had her legs cut off so unfortunately I believe you'll be right
10:01 As an autistic person, I've never just posted a video and been like, "omg guys, look how autistic I am lmao". Like, stop 😭
And the tics thing too. I have ALOT of tics. For me it's just part of my life. It's just how I am. I don't expect, nor want sympathy or any special treatment for it. It annoys me that there are people who think tics and tourettes is so quirky, and then fake it because they want special attention.
the only thing i dont agree with about this video is getting a wheelchair can be something worth celebrating! a lot of people need mobility devices for chronic pain, muscle/bone weakness, pots, etc. and getting a properly fitted wheelchair is often difficult and expensive. so, definitely something worth celebrating imo
And if insurance is paying it may take months for approval no matter your diagnosis.
True!! A few of my cousins have congenital problems with their backs or hearts, and even though they all prefer not to use them when possible, having insurance agree to pay for nice wheelchairs was awesome news. Family get togethers are so big that they can be overly taxing, so having an option for them to sit and be wheeled around when we're walking a lot is great!
I remember when I had to borrow a wheelchair one time. I suffer from a congenital heart disease from birth and that causes other things like CVS (Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome) and due to high amounts of stress and other intense emotions I get sick and have to be hospitalised because I cannot keep any food or water down without being sick which will make me very dehydrated. One year after being in hospital for weeks because of this I was very weak so I had to borrow a wheelchair because even though I can walk just fine I was very weak after getting out of the hospital so I had one and while I had a lovely day at the park despite this, I felt like a fraud because I don't need one to walk and I borrowed one. I was afraid someone would call me out and say I was a faker even though it was one day. I cannot understand how people can be completely fine with having wheelchairs when they can walk just fine, it is awful.
i find it funny how they assign each of their egos a role in the "system" and wear different makeup for each.
Well, in a system, every alter HAS a "role" or a "use" I guess. Thats like if theres a tree of jobs and instead of employees filling it, its alters, kind of.
@@TangleHamain for those with an actual system,you’re absolutely correct!😊
I just assume the makeup and shi are because of different tastes and stuff.
I just dont like how they say it isnt cosplay or dress up when it is. Alters can also cosplay and dress however they while being an alter.
Its like if I dressed up as my persona in my pfp and say thats that isnt just me wanting to look like my persona/what i portray myself as. You can also just do it for comfort reasons which a lot of people in the cosplay community do.
@@BloodMarket okay but that person is clearly faking d.i.d
"system"- individuals who have specific roles, personalities, abilities. A highly organized "system" will be unnoticeable, because like a good computer all the components work towards a single goal. Some use the make-up to identify which alter is in a position of communication with the outter world.
These are not Ego's, they are fragments of a very young traumatized child's personality that have been developed before the age of 10 after years of extreme, severe, and profound trauma.
Stimming is different for everyone, working with people with autism I see the differences. It’s not just leg bouncing. It can be hand shaking with sounds, it can be banging on tables, or even stimming and hitting or flicking themselves and this can just be because they are excited by a movie or music. These people faking make me sad because I just want to see the inclusion of the young adults I work with. Stims are different just like autism itself is different for each and every person.
Even more ironic is that stimming isnt even a sign of autism and literally everyone does it. Its not a special or abnormal thing like some people believe it is. Its completely and 100% normal.
Its just that with autism, or in some cases its extreme anxiety, it is more noticeable due to heightened emotions and is a whole lot harder to control.
While I’m not diagnosed with autism (yet, doctor has a whole six month waiting list) I don’t think these fake disorder people understand that stimming isn’t always super obvious. I never had the stereotypical hand-flapping nor have any of my autistic friends who are already ‘official’. While I know we can’t speak for all other autistic people, it seems that a suspiciously large percent of these tik tokers only have stims that make them ‘look disabled but in a cute way’. Stuff like skin/scalp picking, breath holding, pacing, jaw clenching, teeth grinding? Not cute enough! Not obvious enough!
I agree. These fakers take the generalised symptoms, and take the mickey out of it. All of these disorders affect us all differently. Only a genuine diagnosis would help. Oh, sorry, they want us to lay for that diagnosis now...... guess we will never truly know what they have.
Lmao these videos make me laugh. I have autism, OCD and bipolar disorder all diagnosed over the course of my life. I don’t understand why anyone would ever want to have these things wrong with them. This shit makes my life hard asf, especially when I’m unmedicated. My quality of life without medications is unbearable. Mental illness is NOT cute
Exactly... my life has been HELL also not to mention your own parents oftentimes treat you differently from your siblings or straight up emotionally or physically abuse you for it like my mother did. It's not cute.
Well when you can just turn off your fame problems they're apparently fun for attention and sympathy.
I encounter the same with people who also have 'PTSD' and 'depression'.
@@FairyPhantasia like I know since I’m autistic technically I’m retarded but these people are what I would consider the real retards LMAO
@@FairyPhantasia I have ptsd from severe abuse and it really is crazy feeling for me. It sucks. My life keeps going back to a time, dissociated and thinking and never trusting anyone. I saw someone the other day that says their ptsd doesn't effect then in a negative way and they haven't even found one bad trait yet.
I was just dumbfounded.
They do it for the same reason they've been doing it for the last century.
Attention.
i have diagnosed ADHD, i’m medicated. i wouldn’t say i want sympathy from people but understanding that my brain might not function the same as a lot of people is always appreciated! people always get annoyed at me for fidgeting and messing around with stuff but i find if my brain isn’t stimulated i get a huge dopamine crash and start feeling very sad. i’m always pulling things apart in my house and pacing around and i know it can be frustrating for people who don’t understand!
Oh shit I'm having a panic attack I better go get the camera
How did Papa know exactly how I react every time one of his videos comes out? The only thing missing is the cartwheels and backflips I do!
Keep up the great work brother!!
2:45 I think they mean endogenic, like a "system" formed "without trauma"
They're pretty much mad bc people are telling them they can't have DID without trauma lmao
I found the twitching lip and eye hilarious ~
They’re literally exposing themselves as fakers. You *need* some form of trauma to be diagnosed.
That one I find most insulting. I don’t have DID but I experience forms of dissociation from a trauma disorder. I was evaluated for it when I was getting diagnosed.
If they were having an actual mental health incident, one would think the last thing they’d be cognitive of was #1. Record it and #2. Post it for the world to see.
I will say these individuals do need help, but with some version of being a HYPOCHONDRIAC.
Honestly it's nice learning about disorders not seen often in person and misinterpreted on the internet. My only exposure to Tourette's before yours and Retro's channels was years ago in The Voice Australia, a contestant had neck and vocal twitches and the show really went ham on his Tourette's and using it to promote him and the show. Amazing vocalist but it was disgusting how the show made his Tourette's define him.
Man these people actually make the representation of regular people with these disorders as completely unstable its insane the amount of damage these fakers actually cause
As someone who was diagnosed with tics at the age 3. This is really embarrassing seeing how so many people want it so bad to the point of faking it, it’s really terrible having it I can’t even do normal things without anyone calling me weirdo,self diagnosed or something like that because of people who fake tics.
May I ask what real ticing (sp?) is like? I've only ever seen fakers do it and I'd like to know so I can be more understanding of people who actually deserve my patience.
@@maggiem6209 well I'd be happy to explain it well real ticking is not what people who faked it think it's really hard to deal with i get random tics from either what I hear, and watch sometimes I could go 3 or 5 hours without single tic but you could say that it's kinda shitty to have especially if your in like at test so I go to school from home
Folks like this let you know why asylums existed.
No those ppl actually have disorders
@@tinycomedian I disagree
@@ComposedSage75 I’m talking about ppl in actual asylums not these weirdos
@@tinycomedian cool. Thanks for making that clearer.
You can guarantee if asylums still existed no of these people would be acting like this and if they did they would regret it real quick. It’s easy to convince people you have a mental disorder but almost impossible to prove that you are sane and healthy. I think a guy did that once to prove it or try and get away with a crime and got stuck in a mental hospital for years. Going to go look that up after this video.
1:37 why is it whenever you see the 'it isn't cosplay, it's the real me' or whatever nuts they're real selves are always some character that's psychotic or a murderer? None of the are ever 'I am Naruto' or 'I am Nurse Joy' or any wholesome characters
i'm confused, where does it say "this is not cosplay"? I didn't see it in the video
I'm sorry but I had to react to the first one. When I'm really frustrated or upset, I tend to bash my head into furnitures or walls. I try to divert myself from doing it (logical reason lol). That being said, I would never film myself being in this vulnerable state. And I would never have the time to film it. Maybe after it, but not while doing it, that would make me more mad in fact.
And yes, it's not fun, at all.
With all that difficulty you’re dealing with,I know you sure as hell don’t put on clown makeup. Please take care of yourself and hope you will be alright!😊
@@Sarika38 Thank you, kind stranger. Hope you're well too. Take care.
I just want to poimt out that for some, getting a wheelchair can be a positive thing. Some people have mobility issues or a lot of pain when they're moving and while they still have the use of their legs it can be really difficult to get through life if walking or standing causes you a lot of pain. In those cases getting a wheelchair is actually a good thing cause it allows for them to go places and do things without being in horrible pain constantly. Not sure if the person in the tiktok needs one, but I just wanted to point out that mobility aids like canes, walkers and wheelchairs are often a good thing. Of course nobody normal wants to need one but for those who do, they're a really good thing when you finallt get one.
YES!! IM THE PERSON THAT SAID I WAS GETTING THE WHEELCHAIR!! I HAVE A DISORDER CALLED POTS AND JUMPING/WALKING TO MUCH WILL MAKE ME PASS OUT SO I USE A CANE!! IM USING IT IN THE VIDEO😭 AND IM GETTING A WHEELCHAIR FOR IT TO BE EASIER FOR ME
These kids obviously don't realize/care about the consequences of their "quirky disorders." Mental and physical disorders have been demonized enough throughout history, and this is just making things even worse for those who are ACTUALLY struggling with these problems. It's sad, really.
Infamous I am autism video
I personally prefer your facecam videos over those very generic looking looping gameplay footage. So many people are doing that exact thing now, even with the exact same games ,it's refreshing to see you step away from that mold.
Most of the people who use wheelchairs can walk. While lots of these people are fakers the wheelchair one is hard to figure out and it’s really invalidating to have people saying folk are faking with that. I have needed a wheelchair for years, it’s why I don’t ever go out now because I may walk a little but I won’t be able to stand up after 10 minutes out. So the wheelchair one you should be more careful
The name “tic Tok” really makes sense now.
Also, I’m super glad to see that girl mention what tics are actually like. Because of my Tics i wake up everyday with a sore neck cause of it and it’s frustrating as hell. Good to see someone talk about it tho
On the bright side, they're all making a lot of practice for a future circus job 🤡
One of my alters stims by clicking on every ablaze video that comes out within minutes
I wonder what their parents would say to if they walk in on them doing these
so happy to see you doing the face time videos.. enjoy the videos so much more. you are doing great, please dont question yourself!
Most of these people just need to be let go from this world.
I have been a cosplayer since 2019 and I can tell you it was so much better then in the cosplay community everyone is either faking mental illness or they're bringing down others and all they do is cancel is swear almost every single cosplayer is getting canceld mostly bc of this faking disorders stuff I used to cosplay multiple characters a day after I came home from school and would walk around in my cosplays the rest of the day now I cosplay once evry few months bc ever single trend is just faking stuff or bringing them down and I have to be honest for everyone saying cosplay was cringe back in 2019 no it wasn't it was fun then now cosplay is cringe
I feel like us cosplayers are really badly effected from this, along with the DID people. ‘not a cosplay, it’s an alter’ okay, just accept that you owned a Miku cosplay in 2015 and move on.
@@kurapikakurta1997 exactly! The cosplay community has gotten to toxic because of this like I would rather go back be called emo then having to deal with all of these people
My happy stims include (in order of frequency):
-hitting myself on the forehead
-slapping my chest
-rubbing my face really hard
-clapping
-shaking my hands and punching myself
And this is followed by an ashamed look because I can’t control it.
I have OCD and if “stop” worked, that’d be great, I’d love to just stop. As my mother has told me to throughout my life
I was traveling with my high school student council group. We were at the airport and I had a stressful moment that brought on an OCD flair. Standing in line for my ticket I am crying and pulling / ringing my hands to deal with my intrusive thoughts. The kids around me then the adults started saying over and over again, to please stop you are safe you have nothing to worry about just calm down. Well I just got worse and I was like bro really do you think I want to be doing this in the middle of an airport. I’m trying to calm myself down and they weren’t helping and making it worse.
As a parent of a toddler with autism, and as potentially having it myself, and in the process of getting a diagnosis, this is beyond infuriating. All these teens do it and pretend it’s fun, but actual autistic children tend to be outcast from their peers. I worry every day about my daughter when she’s that age and how people are going to treat her and you have idiots out there like this pretending it’s a game.
whenever I used to have a tic as a kid, my dad would smack me in the back of the head and tell me to knock it off...
I was diagnosed with Aspergers at 15...and that was quite a while ago.
I have an eye tick and a thumb cracking tic that actually gets so bad it's horribly painful. I am embarrassed when it happens and try to suppress the feeling until I can't, people think I'm rolling my eyes, so I started pulling down my bottom eyelid quickly instead...that way it looks like my eye has an irrtation instead.. my thumb tick gets bad usually at night, but having a phone in my hand makes it not look so weird to others.
I'm always concerned of people seeing...I wouldn't dare try to record myself and have it pointed out.
I find it funny that I never see things like Bipolar Disorder being faked. It's not fun and quirky to mimic so why would they? But just like these other disorders, it freaking sucks and is so fun to deal with.
I had a mutual on tiktok who claimed to be certain anime characters. Like once every week she would post about how she realized she was a character. She ofcourse was self-diagnosed 😍 If someone posted a video of a cosplay of a character she was, she would get ‘triggered’ and asked everyone to make 5 second trigger warnings that covered the whole screen 😭 I just wonder what happens when two people ‘are’ the same character

it’s so crazy that tics are desired by these kinds of people. uwu uwu im having a cute little tic attack. when i have tic attacks i end up hurting myself and damaging things. when i have tic attacks at work i the next day im embarrassed to come back in because i know all of my coworkers have seen an extremely vulnerable side of me that i try my best to keep away. i have to worry about chunks of my pay being left out of my check so they can repair expensive equipment that i damaged. it’s not cute. it’s not quirky. it’s scary and it’s exhausting and it absolutely sucks not to have control of yourself.
“Endogenic systems” are supposed systems who formed without trauma. (For the record, this is impossible.) Anti-endos means people who don’t think “endogenic systems” are real.
There is a whole community who are focused on creating Tulpa's, a tulpa is a being that begins in the imagination but acquires a tangible reality and sentience. Tulpas are created either through a deliberate act of individual will or unintentionally from the thoughts of numerous people.
While these appear to be like alters from someone with D.I.D. they are completelly different and can be come strong enough to supress the perssonality of their creator.
@@toscatattertail9813 I am well-aware of tulpas, but I don’t believe in them. They’re either glorified imaginary friends (if created intentionally) or alters under a different name (if appearing spontaneously). In fact, an online acquaintance who has DID told me that the original tulpas from Tibetan Buddhism were likely a pre-psychology explanation for alters.
After all, this disorder has presumably existed for as long as humans have; it was likely due to lack of documentation that the first known case wasn’t until the 1500s, and, even then, the diagnosis was made hundreds of years later; at the time, the patient was thought to be possessed by demons.
And, finally, I’m not sure if you’ll believe me, but I can speak from personal experience. I have OSDD-1B, confirmed by my therapist, and I used to think I had tulpas because I didn’t lose time (I only knew about _DID_ at the time) and I didn’t realize I had trauma because the fucked-up situations I was in had become normalized to me. To this day, I still sometimes recall something from my childhood or early teenage years and spontaneously realize that it was abnormal and disturbing in hindsight.
It makes my blood boil to see things like this. When I switch it causes seizures most of the time because it is so traumatic. Things like this are not fun for the person suffering from them, and in most cases cause physical pain.
You know.. back in my high school/early adult years (90s/early 2000s) mental health wasn’t really discussed that much. If you were diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, Depression, anxiety (all the things that I have actually been diagnosed with by an actual doctor..) you didn’t speak of it. It’s was some what embarrassing. I didn’t want to talk about having to take different meds as a jr and sr in high school. Now that I’m in my late 30s, it blows my freaking mind at how lost these newer generations(and a good bit of mils) are. They are so desperate to feel included…To feel anything… that they will do the most absurd things for views. It makes me sad actually. Lucky for me, my mental health is better than it ever has been and I no longer take any meds (though my OCD has gotten worse with age). I am very blessed! I cannot imagine having some of these other disorders nor do I want to. This might be a tad shitty to say… but I think that if you pretend to have these disorders, maybe you deserve to have to deal with them for a while. Life could ALWAYS BE WORSE! People don’t seem to look at things from that perspective now days. I stay off of social media bc it is toxic af. I’m beyond thankful I grew up when I did… and I’m reminded of this daily.
Why cant they just do drugs like normal kids?
I'm glad my kid isn't cringe or really into social media like Tik Tok. I make sure he grows up the right way, being called slurs while playing FPS games online
I absolutely love the direction your channel is going!!!
Remember when playing pretend as kid was innocent it grew out of control

I’m cold in my room while watching this and I’m really thinking about this generation I’m ashamed to be apart of it. Why do people think this is okay ☹️☹️
how is these ppl not embarrassed of everyone who knows them seeing their fake bullsht
The most annoying thing is, even though I don't have Tourettes, I have complex motor function tics. So being a cashier/chef where I work. I could overseason your food because my hand that day thought it was a good idea to throw a damn fit, OR I could be handing someone their cigarettes/change and throwing it at them unintentionally. It's annoying as all hell when my hands, don't want to hand. Or the head tics, I could be mid-sentence, and the tensing sensation of my neck (Almost like a cold chill, but tingly?) cuts me off and I make a weird noise. Then I have to explain the whole thing to my boss because a complaint has been lodged. It's a hassle, I don't wish any of these things on someone and the idea to fake them for views and attention is pitiful and they should all be ashamed of themselves. It makes life actually hard, but here's the kicker. I have high-intensity ADHD and now throw in that complex motor tic. It's like having Tourettes on steroids. @Ablaze I love your content and calling out these posers makes my day.
im afraid of working for this exact reason, i feel like i wont be able to work because of my tics. not just out of fear of all of this stuff, but out of fear that people wont understand it and will just complain.
I watch your videos all the time, and you mention head tics. I don’t know if I have ever actually noticed them. I don’t have any disabilities that effect my physical movements, other than the occasional aggressive twitches and skin picking, which is caused by my anxiety and has become a coping mechanism to minor things. So I don’t understand quite how painful it can possibly be. My favorite city “crazy” guy we had when I was a kid had severe Tourette’s and was an older guy who rode around on a skateboard. Very kind, but he did laugh when he scared someone by yelling profanity in public spaces. It was usually me, but I never held it against him. He passed away a few years ago
I used to get made fun of for my neck ticks. Their so ignorant. You don’t laugh when you have ticks. And it does hurt.
They act like stimming is a choice when its kind of not
I do it unconiously without realizing, and I just do it when I'm excited.
Like if I have a strong emotion I can't not stim, I can tone it down if I really try but I HAVE to stim.
If I don't stim it literally feels like theirs like energy flowing under my skin building up that needs to be released
i do it unconsciously as well, mine is mainly making a sort of like "hm" noise from like the back of my throat and i dont realize im doing it until someone points it out. shit sucks bro
How do these people find enablers to surround themselves with while faking disorders meanwhile most people like me who are actually struggling with these kinds of issues can’t even get support from immediate family? Man some people were just born lucky and into families that will tolerate bullsh*t to no end
As long as they get attention for their fake issues they will keep doing them. Most people with those issues try not to draw attention to them.
At this point is this just considered internet Munchausen?
Not gonna lie a wheel chair and a ticket to Disneyworld would be a pretty sick present no lines
I have a neurological disorder that came with tics,, it’s uncomfortable and embarrassing and watching people fake it makes me so uncomfortable
These kids need a bully. Not the hero they want. But for sure the hero they need.
I also love how they name their "systems" and most of their "alters" know the name of said "system"
I think all the kids faking mental illnesses is a bit like mass hysteria. Their subconsciouses become convinced and that leads to them actually believing that they do.
Sometimes bullying is ok
If they still threw kids in a hospital for shit like this I believe a ton of them would be able to turn it off an be cured.
the wheelchair one can make sense in some cases, when i got my first wheelchai, i was excited because it meant not falling or fainting or dislocating my hips
as someone that getting stress ticks recently, I cant imagine living my whole life ticking for no apparent reason (my ticks happen when I'm in stressful situations and/or in panic attacks) and the fact this kids think its quirky and cute is honestly sad.
You know, I'm not so proud of my DID, because I don't have it, I'm just leaving a comment to add up to the engagement on the video. Good job, ABLAZE
I know the hot wheels wheelchair can be funny kind of, but for kids are really in wheelchairs that’s awesome
I’ve been loving your uploads of late where we see your face ❤don’t even worry if you have a tic because believe me when I say none of us care 😊
Don't be embarrassed about something you can't control ❤ but if it does embarrass you and you feel better editing them out, thats ok too.
We bought my dad a wheelchair off of Craigslist for his birthday one year. The reason being is in college, his dorm had an old spare (unused for years,) so he and his buddies would practice wheelies in it. We visited one of his buddies and he had one in his home he’d do stunts with, so we figured our dad would love to have one of his own!
Everyone loves doing stunts in the wheelchair, now!
(NOTE: the one in his dorm and the *used* ones owned by us and the friend are all meant only for temporary transport of patients.)
I actually work with a girl who is like this... I mean, I'm not a professional so I know I'm not in a position to say whether it's real or not in her case but it's frustrating because she tries to tell customers (we work in retail together) about her "system" and alters and such... It's just sad to see people are encouraging this kind of behavior...
I have been struggling hard core since 2011 with D.I.D. It sounds like there is one within her system that is looking for validation...that she has value. But someone needs to kindly tell her or the alter if possible that casual conversations about personal matters with customers isn't doing them or the system any favors .The truth is that kind of over-sharing could loose them the job.
My oldest son bought the Hot Wheels wheelchair for his dad because they both thought it was hilarious for some reason.
DID - alternate personality’s don’t form until the 30s and 40s.
Presents like schizophrenia in kids and young adults.
People with the condition don’t know they have it and aren’t aware of the “switches.”
Diagnosis isn’t confirmed until the early to mid 30s.
People with the condition cannot switch and disassociate at will and the protective “switching” mechanism is only triggered by trauma.
The condition needs severe childhood trauma to form.
Effects under 1% of the entire nearly 8 billion human population.
Teenagers in tiktok……Can control their switches at will.
Are 100% in control of the condition.
Know they have the condition.
Have lived a comfortable life and are spoilt brats.
Have symptoms that aren’t typical of DID.
Have time to film a whole video and change costumes.
90% of people on TikTok have DID
I think they might be faking.
I had to stay in the same house for a long time with a person who had mania and manifestations of schizophrenia. I'm so sick of all these loafers in Tiktok. For them, this is attention and fun, when in reality mental disorders is are years of therapy, potentially difficulties for the rest of life, destroyed families and deep traumas. I'm just so sick, it's so damn disgusting.
I was professionally diagnosed with D.I.D and it’s not something fun or creative to have. It’s a very serious condition that is revolved around ptsd. It’s literally not fun when I get a trigger from my ptsd and an alter fronts. It’s literally not candy and rainbows. It’s severely annoying when you don’t remember what you did or where you are, my fiancé struggles with helping me for the most part cause not a lot of people are educated enough to handle someone with D.I.D
1:28 junko let herself go damn😔
Stimming isn’t cute. I have diagnosed ASD and many of my stims are self injurious like picking at skin till it bleeds. It’s not cute, it’s fucking painful and I don’t realize how much it hurts till I’ve already done it.
@@neko7606 I do the same thing. But those stims aren't brought to light or talked about. its always just turned into "uwu handflapping". tbh i only handflap when im very excited during an event like christmas or my birthday. or times im overly excited
I had serotonin syndrome for a few months getting used to stimulants, tics are not fun and quirky. They’re extremely uncomfortable and can be embarrassing.
this makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time
What makes no sense to me is when those "systems" never have normal names.
You never see any of those having an alter named "Josh" or "Rachel", I've never ever seen someone present themselves like "hello, I am Olivia", it's always the "onyx", the "shadowbane" or those named after anime/game characters; like, cmon, if you have an alter that has a different experience from yours but lives with the people you live or even knows the people you know and all of those people they know have normal names, where the f@ck would they get a name like that? It's like, imagine you just found a child that doesn't remember anything prior from you finding them besides some interactions they have been thrown on, a child that has seen some adults talk but only exists and knows nothing but those words the grownups said, also this kid knows they're on a life-threatening situation and is actively trying to figure out a way to get out of it, how and why would they think of themselves as someone named "Maple"; they freaking need to survive the worst situation on their lives, just how???
Systems are, at least on theory, formed like that; it's someone else that doesn't know about the same things you do mostly and needs to mask as if they were you, to survive. Wouldn't it be weird if they had an extremely different voice and name?! I mean, they are different people and they live through different stuff but things would definitely get more difficult by doing that, also the human mind wouldn't waste resources it barely has, while trying to survive something it perceives as deadly, trying to create a different voice/tone or a "really cool name".
I think it's just like it was said on the video, showing all that is a double edged sword, it gets people that have it to be more comfortable to talk about it but it also give those fakers a lot of material to keep faking it. I don't get the fact that they won't even think for a second about what that was supposed to do, like DID was supposed to protect and be "hidden" even from the person that has it as the purpose is to lift a burden, just like when you see something getting close real fast you close your eyes, it's a reaction from your body and mind to protect you, it's not supposed to show everyone else that you're in danger but to get you through danger unscathed.
A System is made up of multiple individuals, how would you like to be part of a group but only one person is recognized by name.
-- the system name is often a reflection of the events that created the disorder, Onyx is a beautiful but brittle gemstone, Shadowbane may refer to the ability of the system to eliminate the shadows in a person's life. Mine is just the Crew, they have been together since 6 years old and have shared responsiblities and roles to make everyone thing there is a "normal child" behind the eyes and body.
@@toscatattertail9813 but seriously, why not have a normal name? Why make it so that your alters can be easily identifiable when the illness is made to be unrecognizable even for the one suffering from it?
Also you know they're not thinking those names through like that. They're flashy with an illness, it's like self-diagnosed tetraplegic people that walk and move like normal, they're not supposed to do that, that's what the illness limits.
Another thing is the self-diagnosing stuff, how can people be so sure and talk about their experience with something that they don't even know they have. Diagnosis may be a luxury in north america but at least don't be all "I have this" when you could say "I may have this" or "I'm undiagnosed but I'm thinking about this", it seriously damages other people's judgement on it and the life of those who are diagnosed with it.
It took me years to get diagnosed with ehlers Danlos, and I was housebound for about a year before I was even considered for a wheelchair… and then I had to have several tests to see what kinds of aides I needed. I was already using a cane, and they tested for everything. Finally I got my final chair a year later. Yes I wanted to party because I could go to the grocery store again. I still only leave the house about once a month; but now I can. I still have people tell me I’m not “trying hard enough” and I should be not using my chair. I don’t get these kids.
How are you not trying hard enough when you have a physical disability? Also from what I understand EDS is a condition that causes your joints to dislocate for seemingly no reason.
@@Kitty666Obsidian there are many people who think that you can brute force your way into not being disabled again. Like if I went to the gym every single day and ran 10 miles and was a raw vegan…
Like, it’s bullocks. But that’s ableism for you.
its not just tictoc anymore its spread to discord servers allowing systems/alters claiming its d.i.d and ive taken to going into those servers and angering them so they expose themselfs
there have been servers that are focused on D.I.D and other dissociative disorder since 2009, possibly before.There are also servers that focus on creating Tulpa's... a tulpa is a being that begins in the imagination but acquires a tangible reality and sentience. Tulpas are created either through a deliberate act of individual will or unintentionally from the thoughts of numerous people.
Why you would want to do something like this when it can backfire and have serious consequences i will never understand.
I have a condition that affects my knees and when it flares up it makes walking so incredibly painful. a few years ago I was heading to the store with my mom and all of a sudden it flared up. I told my mother I should just stay in the car instead of making a fool of myself by lymping and walking incorrectly because of the pain. she suggested I use this wheelchair type cart the store had (its hard to explain but it was at target I think?) and I immediately felt awful. because I didn't want people to think that I was faking my pain because sometimes I'm okay and sometimes im not. so after a long fight i ended up just sitting in the car and waiting for my mother even though I was super excited about going to the store. like I just don't understand how people are so open to sharing all of this stuff with millions of people when in actuality I feel like actual suffers of these things would rather keep it hidden.
when I have a meltdown I lie on the floor crying, trying to hit other part of my body than head and I end up hitting my head on the floor and when it gets a little bit better i crawl to my meds and then I cry on the floor huging myself. there must be something wrong with me if others just stand there happily wiggling their arms and they are okay after minutes
''uwu my neck is sore cos I move it, ;)'' obviously lying,come on,she times her ''tiks''.ridiculous.
i'm sorry, FAKING CANCER?????
God people should realise that stimming more the most part is subtle like leg bouncing pacing chewing etc
I have face ticks (mostly my nose and neck) and i got bullied alot by both people at school and by my family. They would literally hold my nose to make me stop twitching right in a middle of a conversation or call me names and laugh at me and called me "ticks" or "tick/twitch chick". It makes me sad that people "wants" this for clout rn, like it's not something fun. Im still not fully ok with my ticks either but im working on it :/
I’ve seen these kids talk about ‘masking’ like it’s a bad thing, and only ‘to make normies more comfortable,’ which they see as ‘bad.’ I have a few friends with different disorders that are sometimes hard to hide, as well as CPTSD, which has a lot of different symptoms, which can be noticeable. Most of us excuse ourselves if we are about to act in a way that isn’t normal. This is so we can collect ourselves and get back to whatever we are doing. It’s also so strangers don’t get invasive when we are already dealing with shit we don’t want. I’ve had strangers ask me what happened to me when I said I was having a flashback. Someone wanted to fight a friend of mine when he was having a psychotic episode due to a problem with his meds. I’m also not sure why trying to minimize the visibility of your condition to make others comfortable is a bad thing. Not everyone has been exposed to every psych issue, and not everyone is equipped to handle seeing it. There’s a big difference between telling someone what it looks like and having them find out because something happened. Telling people while you don’t have visible symptoms goes over way better than just letting them see it, full force. It also makes your symptoms easier to manage if you collect yourself as much as possible (when able). If it’s real, you should want to minimize your symptoms for yourself and for others.
Ive had tics since i was 5-6 yo (Im 22 now). That doesnt mean i have Tourette's lmao. I have a symptom of Tourette's, yes but i dont have the disorder lol. Ive heard that my tics are from my ADHD so there you go. Tics doesnt equal Tourette's.
I have never noticed that you have ticked in any videos. I honestly would never have known that you have turrets if you hadn’t told us.
Finally, my much needed self inflicted pain
Wow man I didnt even notice your tics
Oh no I Legit do that ‘replacement’ stim 😭😬only I’d never post it online bc I don’t want people seeing that shit
I feel bad for the people who actually need wheel chairs since there's a lot that can stand and walk for small periods so they can get something or do something, but it tends to be painful to do so or they can only do it for a bit until it starts hurting again. There's already a lot of stigma for people who use wheel chairs cause people paint the picture of you must be paralyzed at the legs and can't do anything, even though that's a small percentage of people who use wheel chairs, there are a lot of reasons to use a wheel chair and I can't image how much worse it's gotten for them now that tiktok fakers are so popular and making people even more skeptical.
My day isn’t complete until I get a video from ablaze about TikTok and all it’s cringe. I only regret that you have to sit and watch all these and go through it bro 🤣
I remember seeing a #notcosplay of someone in a purposeful full Wilbur DSMP cosplay, audio and all and being extremely confused.
Elf ears, Minecraft earrings, scar makeup??? I was very confused and thought it was a joke for the longest time
As a big fan of Wilbur, and also a person undergoing therapy, I feel personally attacked seeing how people fake mental disorders by taking his personality.
But-
It can be worse, in the case of those who find the audacity and ignorance to call their "alter" a Technoblade. It's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. And I don't understand how these individuals get away with everything.
@@tonysparda9281 oh shit I completely forgot about the dmsp ‘alters’ kids. How shitty of a person do you have to be to fake an alter of a guy whose passed away tragically
Demonic possession
