-------------------------------
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, UA-cam and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself! - Розваги

I sit behind a boy in my class who has Tourettes. He's honestly the sweetest boy alive.
yh same I sit by a guy who has it and I don’t know how people act like they are different they are just like us HUMANS there is nothing different
Tell him that, I'm sure it will make his day
thank you so much for saying that bc people think having tourette’s changes your personality or makes you unapproachable when it’s just tics and stuff (i have tourette’s)
@@adinabiton8214 yhhhh !!
@@adinabiton8214 I wouldn't think that aspect of tourettes (the tics), would be what would make one feel like someone with tourettes was unapproachable. In some cases of tourettes one may be prone to having outbursts of profanity, which people may take offense to, especially if they are unaware of their condition. The outbursts of profanity may be misconstrued as aggressive behavior.

It’s a tic
@@user-fu5df9uf4r ik I’m not dumb-
@@user-fu5df9uf4r i think they know lol, they’re just pointing it out bc they liked it
This is probably one of my biggest tics. I flip everything off all the time 😅, my tools, my boss, my wife and even my kids, although my wife and kids just do it back 😂
@@_neilyoung643 your tools can flip you off?- I didn’t know tools had hands
I have a friend who struggles with tics, and people in her classes always pretend to have them and mock her by making the noises. It is really bad because it could trigger her tics to be more frequent or even send her into a tic attack. People these days...
Edit: why yall always say things abt when people say thanks for the likes? It's appreciation! Anyways, tysm.
I know its beside the point but Im just glad we moved away from the days where people thought you were possessed if you had it. But yeah, you would think in this day and age when we are supposedly so advanced and smart, we would have learned the basics of kindness and decency... so sorry for your friend and good that she has a supportive friend!
Omg, literally! I have one vocal tic and the rest are physical and anytime I see a person with tourettes or somebody doing a tic I have; it can send me into a fit.
It's really crazy too how people can be so uneducated on tourettes. When I was younger my dad would constantly yell at me for my tics, and call them "habits".
When I was first researching tourettes in middle school; my best friend at the time wouldn't even acknowledge that I have it. Simply because she only viewed it as having vocal tics.
And people don't believe ticcing between two people is a real thing! Like, if I see or hear someone ticcing or I see erratic movements, they happen more often. But people think it's just me thinking about trying to do it more :(
@@CrossbredManiaccan confirm.
Watching this set off a little of my ADHD tics.
Maybe more than a little.....
I also have tics and sadly also was bullied a lot for it, now its mostly nose twiching and like 2 other facial tics and its not as common (although one tic still happens rly often but its not as noticeable) but when younger my whole face was all twiching and stuff like all the time and most of the class mocked and made fun of me for it which was rly shitty
Do people not realize how this disorder works? It’s not just saying stuff randomly. It comes with jaw locks, joint issues, seizures, etc. educate yourselves before saying what that girl in the back did!!!
She thinks she’s the person who controls the world cuz she has a disorder, not cool
(Talking Abt the girl in the back)
And your comment doesn’t even relate to what she said, how would it mean she can say whatever she wants if she has jaw locks join issues and seizures
Nop even saying someone is authistic they laugh or other particularities
Yea..thats exactly the problem sadly 😢
I never knew jaw locks were a common issue, I’ve had friends with tics too I wish they would’ve brought it up to me that they had to deal with these things if any of them have those kinda issues, I commented on my own but I wanted to also mention here, I get a lot of jaw locks from grinding my jaw and having issues where it’ll pop out of alignment, the best way I’ve found to get it unstuck is to relax the jaw and move it backwards while slightly opening it more and it should pop out, I just want to help anyone having this issue who hasn’t found a good, less painful way, to do it
It's like this with any illness/disability. I had one I luckily recovered from, thing that honestly is something I cannot describe, I'm happy. Teenagers are not too empathetic, adults neither. But adults learn at least a bit more as they grow
that bully really made her jaw drop…
bully? get a grip loser.
💀😭🤚
NAHHHHH
Stwap
LITERALLY 😭😭😭😭
Dude I fucking hate when I get stuck in a tic, it’s the worst. Especially when it’s one of my “weird” tics
You say "weird" tics. So I can only imagine randomly flipping off someone you're talking to but it won't go away. Then you're just standing there like

i had no idea tourette’s could get stuck like that! you learn something new every day!
anyone can have a locked jaw
@@roy.._yep I've had it
@@roy.._except people with tourette’s can literally be stuck in a position. my friend has a tic where he grips his hand in a fist, and he seriously cannot loosen the grip until time passes. he tries to distract himself and do other things so that eventually his hand will loosen up. it’s not JUST locked jaw, it’s the fact that tourettes can genuinely prevent you from moving a certain body part.
@@v_bunny oh ok sorry 👍👍
People with tourette's can literally break their bones or tear muscles from the condition. That's why trying to "hold it in" is always something doctors say NOT to do.
Yepp, I know exactly how you feel. Back in high school, people would laugh about having seizures and pretend to have one. Meanwhile, me an epileptic, can hear everything they're saying.
I’m not an epileptic and I don’t know anyone who is, but I am currently in high school and the kids in my year do this stuff too. They did mature a bit over the years but not much. I’m sorry you had to listen to/see that.
It’s called not getting enough attention from mommy and daddy, so you act a fool around your “friends” because hopefully their laughs will fill that gaping pit of insecurity in your tiny black heart. 🫠
Just keep it pushing, these people are absolutely pathetic and will clearly make fun of you for anything in exchange for even the slightest bit of attention.
That's wild
So, i was in safe key in 4th grade and some of the kids would pretend to have seizures. I would laugh it off then cause I did not know what that was, but now I realize the safe key staff should of done something.
my dad is one
But I’m not gonna get into childhood drama I don’t know what you’re thinking
Tourettes is such a misunderstood thing. Props to people who shine a light on it. Keep it up kiddo 💜🖤💜🖤
Although I don’t have Tourette’s, getting my jaw stuck open is so relatable - I occasionally have seizures that cause my hands and mouth to seize up. I have had my jaw lock like that and i always get so embarrassed despite literally having had a seizure moments prior. I definitely have my priorities straight 😅
If someone is judging you for something you can’t control they are a very cruel and immature person
Im not doctor but is your jaw lock by signals of your brain or mechanic behavior that can't be moved?
Mmm maybe go to tmj dissorder orthodontist, to see you
I had that with braces they correct your smile
I suppose she need to have it too
@@skydivenextthankfully it only resulted from a muscle plasm caused by the seizures. Despite that, I very much appreciate your concern! :D
Don’t let those people ruin your time or day. It’s not worth it ❤ you deserve better
she deserves the hate
Easier said than done though, especially if you have Tourette’s
Yeah, that’s true
Good morning. Even Leff l Love you too Even Leff I ❤
What did she say? I couldn’t hear her
Her Tourrette's took that chuck's words so personally, they tried flipping her off😂
1.5k like but 0 replies????
Severely underrated comment
Lol😂
Flip off that rotten excuse of a human for me too sweetie❤
the girl in the back just be like "I am just stupid so I can say anything."
Omg I’ve been through a similar situation. I was in my biology lab class, overhearing some student in the front of the room complaining about how unfair it was that I get testing accommodations and have extra time on exams. These ppl just don’t understand that the reason you get accommodations is because you have an actual real disability. They are just ableist and jealous that you get accommodations, without understanding the struggles you go through to get them.
If I were sitting in that room, that rude girl would have gotten a piece of my mind! I can’t stand bullies. But I’m very proud of how you ignored her and went on your way.
She aint a bully she said “ if I had Tourette’s I could say anything”
@@perk3883 - No, she said, “If I have anything, I’ll have Tourette’s. That way I can say anything.” She’s definitely a bully, and completely ignorant and cruel to make a joke about choosing to have Tourette’s. As if the luxury of ‘being able to say anything’ is so cool it totally overrides all of the crap that comes your way from ignorant people like her!
@@perk3883i mean yes she is a bully. Trying to use a disorder to get away with being mean
@@perk3883she's making fun out of her condition and laughing about it, that's bullying
@@perk3883yeah. That’s mocking, which is bullying.
Girl really took “your face will get stuck like that” to a whole new level 😂
You look like a Disney character!! Like I can see you drawn up like a modern day Disney character
Bet! I'll post it in a long time tho. Art takes a while 😅
I don’t have Tourette’s but I have tics and I hate myself for them so much 😭
I even once almost took my life away because of tics, and m so glad I stopped my self
It's envy, she knows that many people love you without judging you, and no one pays enough attention to her 😊
You've hit the nail on the head 👏 🙌 👌 👍 ❤️!!, people see you shine ✨️, they want what you have!! Sik world 🌎 ♥️ needs lots of love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍
Usually I don't chalk bullying up to jealousy but it definitely seems like it's the case for this one! She already says dumb stuff so idk why she thinks having tourettes would make a difference 🤣🤣
Period✨
What did she say? I could not hear.
@@AdorbzHaley there are subtitles of the main thing she said but yeah its kinda hard to hear what she was saying leading up to that.
Can we please stop talking about the mean girl, AND FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT HER JAW IS LITERALLY STUCK 💀
I would be silently thinking this is the end for me
I didn’t even know it was possible for Tourette’s to do that. Terrifying. I guess you do learn something new every day
I have a tic disorder and that happens often, it can be a little painful sometimes, but it usually wears off in a couple minutes max. :)
I have undefined muscle spasms and tic like movements are starting to become more common... whatever I have it's getting worse but no diagnosis... but when my jaw gets stuck it can get REALLY STUCK&REALLY HURT
I've had this due to tics and severe TMJ and both suck lmao. With tics, i try to distract myself, and with TMJ, i have to massage my jaw muscles until they're relaxed enough to release my jaw
the way she randomly started flipping the screen off was so funny to me😭
A girl in my class started faking “anxiety tics” the day her bf broke up with her. (He was only in class.) conveniently stopped two days later after her friend called her out
One of my formal toxic friend used to pretend she had anxiety attacks just because she did not wanted to talk in front of the class for orals. She also pretended to be more sensitive than the average just because one of her favorite anime character died. While I was having real panic attacks, got hospitalized after s**cide attempts, got diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder a few years after high school and has hyper sensitivity causing me to be more than just highly emotional...
Your ability to laugh at yourself is what makes you great. I love you!!!!😂

@@AdorbzHaleyit’s in captions at the top when she said it but I’ll tell u so u don’t have to rewatch the video. The girl in the background said “I’ll have tics then I can say anything” in a mocking way
@@SOMETIMESIMHOT tysm!
im pretty sure after you cna also hear her say "im not being rude" but actually yes that is so fing rude!?!?
this reminds me of my friend karl who has tourette’s and he has learned to manage them for the most part in school but sometimes he genuinely cannot control it
that flip off to the schoolwork was so relatable 😭
Not sure if it was stuck open due to your jaw locking or what but I have issues with my jaw. Gently rocking it laterally (side to side) can help. Never force your jaw shut.
Have you been evaluated by a dentist or doctor for TMJ?
@@crazycrittergirl7672 Yes, I go to a specialist for it.
Mine got locked closed for about a year. I want able to open it more than roughly 1 inch or so. I went to a neurologist to help because dentist were not able to unlock it and my mom believed I didn't need surgery. It never technically unlocked just loosened up a bit and I can't open it as much as I was able to before but it's alot better. I can now open it to about 1.5-2 inches.
Not sure if you're in the states. She's a wonderful doctor. The practice avoids recommending surgery unless it's the only fix. I was given a retainer with added material to keep my teeth a bit more open to allow my jaw to settle properly. I was also shown some strengthening stretches. However, my tmj is likely due to hypermobility. Some people receive botox injections with much relief.
That girl is so disrespectful she should be deeply ashamed of herself just don’t let anyone get to you we are all here for you girly! ❤❤❤❤

The number of times I got stuck 🤣 it happens to me a lot and I look so dumb, it's reassuring that it also happens to others
Good for you for turning around and staring her out, what a small-minded, cruel girl. But also well done for not flipping her off or screaming at her (btw would've been acceptable) it goes to show you are mature and understand your condition well enough to have empathy for those that don't. ❤
I am so sorry you have to deal with that. I wonder if that sort of hostility sometimes triggers further/more painful tics? 😢
Thank you for shedding light on your conditons and symptoms, you've been a great help and I've only watched a few of your videos & shorts! The FND stuff and educating people on ambulatory wheelchair users has been really uplifting to see. Thank you for doing the work to make the world a little more understanding and easier for people like us. I see in your comments all the time the amount of people who have learned something new simply because of your vulnerability, honesty and informative nature. ❤ Keep it up Queen 🎉 (here's to more red carpet premieres and all the great stuff you deserve! Look at where you're at vs. the girl behind you...) just sayin'...
the tic question I can answer sort of as someone with tics, people discussing your tics or pointing them can 100% make them worse and most of the time does the people in my class make fun of me and cause me to tic more and worse hope this helped❤ also love the channel zara
I flip my computer off too, like every 5 minutes when I'm at work.
Don't listen to other people I have tourette's as well and trust me I understand how much it sucks just don't listen to other people and keep on with your life. What other people have to say about you doesn't matter what matters is what you think about yourself Don't let other people get in the way of your success and you are very brave to be making UA-cam videos about your tourettes syndrome because even I would be afraid of it because so many people would most likely put hateful comments. So thank you for showing others that have tourette's that it's not a bad thing :-)
@@alainaammerman1554 it’s very hard
@Alaina Ammerman i’m not the op but i also have tourettes !! it can be difficult at times and other times people don’t notice it. i’m actually in the 95th percentile for tic frequency when i’m not medicated, meaning i tic every ten seconds or so. those days tend to be most difficult as i can struggle to write at times so school work can be very difficult. i also hit myself sometimes and curse, not many people get it and honestly airport security is one thing that i cannot stand because of my tics. other times i do great and rarely tic at all, especially when i am medicated and when i’m doing something i like, the focus can make tics less frequent.
The common misconception at the start and then the flurry of all the different types of involuntary words and gestures was highly educational and eye opening hopefully to people with better social antennas than the bully at the start.
The flushed face at the realization of the lock jaw was so relatable it took me right back to my time at school.
I'm not someone with a Tourette's syndrome diagnosis, but I relate to other aspects of life at school.
Thank you for sharing such a crystal clear example of your situation, you are a role model just for this and should be applauded for being so open with your diagnosis.

Yeah!!! I heard a girl say that she would pretend to be autistic or have adhd (things I both am by the way) and she could say or do anything. It’s literally crazy the things people think, at, do and hurt the disabled community.
This isn’t very relevant to the video, but I just got a referral for a tilt table test and an ECG! I want to thank creators like you who made me realize that even though I don’t faint, my POTS-like symptoms are not in fact normal.

Yeah I've had people say that to me a little too often or how it's " so fun and quirky " . They changed their mind pretty quickly after they saw my tic where i would smash my head into a wall/door (if i was sitting or standing close to one)
people who think tics are fun and games are the reason id always play off all my tics in high school, im absolutely terrified of being made fun of
She is just jealous. You are an amazing person and people who say things like that to you, or behind your back, are just trying to get under your skin. Don't let them get to you because you are amazing, and if people can't see that, then they are trying to be rude. Someone told me, "Brush it off. They didn't hurt you physically. And if it's mentally, then you can talk to people, like friends or family. They'll understand and help you get through it."
You are very kind❤️
Why would she be jealous of someone that has a disorder?
@@d4red3v1l8because she monetises it and makes money from recording herself having fits, none of us know any of these people so we can’t really make any meaningful judgements. I personally think it’s a bit wack to make shorts that rely on her fits and not really have much value to them but from her pov it’s easy money and a way to spread support nonetheless.

that girl talking shit about tourettes reminded me of when i was in high school, i don't have tourettes but I'm autistic and mentally ill and then a group of classmates decided to talk badly about me out loud as if I wasn't even hearing, saying things like "poor thing, he's retarded"
Bullying is so bad at schools. Sorry u had to deal with that
My best friend has Tourette’s and they’ve come to me several times because they feel like a burden especially in school because people keep pointing out their tics. It’s heartbreaking honestly
THE TURN😭😭
You're more mature and capable at your young age than most anyone, and I'm sure there is intense jealousy because you've managed to create a supportive, intelligent, and open-minded community. You have love coming from all over the globe, so just keep being you!
Hearing people talk about tourettes and even watching them have tics does definitely trigger tics. I've only just subscribed to you and i'm loving your videos! I was diagnosed with tourettes at the age of 12. When I'm "controlling" my tics in public, i tend to only suppress the more obvious ones but i do quiet tics like opening my mouth really wide like you're doing and like face squinting. I even squeal really quietly sometimes. For people who wants tourettes, you won't be wanting them when you have tic fits you really wish you could stop but can't and will go on for a good hour, sometimes 2 hours of screaming and hitting things and getting really upset because you want it to stop so bad, even when you're shattered from all the ticcing you still can't stop
My whole heart entirely goes out to anyone with Tourette’s syndrome 😢. You guys have so much strength in this already cruel world.
Btw the little whistles and mews are cute to me 😊
I recently had found out I had Tourettes and I’ve been getting lots of tics in class and I get really embarrassed but your videos help feel better about my tics thank you❤️
I hope your tics get better❤️
It's ok Bella, try to accept it as a new normal you. ❤
And, to hell what others think of you, You are a warrior and there's not another person in this world who is YOU.
Remember that, you are absolutely 100% awesome. And nobody can take that away from you..... NOBODY !!!!!
You don't have Tourette's, cant come to you later in life
Am I the only one who can't hear the people in the background at all?
I’m so sorry you had to go through that don’t let her get u down you’re amazing 🫶🏻✨

You should go curse them out then say it was your Tourette’s

Personally I wouldn’t do this because it could put me at risk of not being believed when I do actually have an offensive tic, but you know what I’m not mad at this idea lmao. I had a classmate say something similar to this girl, and me and my friends started yelling immediately lol. It’s not just offensive and ignorant, it’s also not even true because discrimination exists 🙄

@@JasuminV They're a child and their ignorance is likely due to a lack of education from their parents. It's not like Tourette's - or any other disorders - are taught about in school, it's entirely up to parents to educate their children about those topics.
Nothing would be achieved by you, or someone with Tourette's, hitting them or screaming at them for what they said; they'd likely just believe more incorrect stereotypes about people with Tourette's being aggressive/dangerous. Whereas educating them allows them the ability to actually be informed about what they're saying.
Everyone has to remember that this disorder shows up differently in different people just because you know someone or have seen someone with Tourette’s does not mean she is going to have the same reaction or ticks as they do
This was the worst. I had ticks when I was younger and always got bullied for it. I didn’t really know what it was at the time. I was in a dance class one day and my ticks were really bad that day. I ticked, and the whole class, including the teachers, laughed at me. They were like “do you have the hiccups or something?” And just burst out laughing. As a 5 year old little girl, I was crushed. Obviously I understand many years later that they just didn’t know what I was going through
They are just inconsiderate. As always love you Zara ❤
I have a question can you ever stop yourself before you have a tic or are they always unpreventable?
Tics can be supressed but it's not pleasant to do and you will most of the time end up with a tic attack as a result
My sister has Tourette’s and hear is my take on your question,
In my sisters case she can stop them/suppress them for a period of time, but after suppressing them for long enough she can’t control them anymore and they kinda go crazy, but from what I know in Zara’s case here she has no control over them at all!
So the takeaway here is that Tourette’s Varys from person to person and you should never make fun of someone who has it cause (in most cases) the person has absolutely no control over it whatsoever (I’m not saying you are, cause u just asked a question this is just for anyone else who is reading this)
Hope this helped❤
Thanks
@@Shmokey. np
I try to suppress mine but they just end up becoming even worse
Its not “i have Tourettes i can say anything” no thats not how that works. Im sorry that person was being judgmental, and ik its not easy sometimes but ur doing the best u can in life and thats all that matters💜
Ugh. I have TS too and this is bringing back so many memories of trying to focus on class. I feel you babe. All I can say is you aren't alone ❤❤❤
okay can i just say- u are the most absolutely beautiful person i have ever seen 😭 i cant ur just so prettyyyy 🤍🤍
Agreed
en serio existe gente así? que les pasa por su cabeza? la empatía y la discreción no la aprendieron en casa?
no ha de ser fácil vivir con esa condición pero eres muy valiente!
It's like me and having narcolepsy. Once people hear i have it they are like I wish I had it so i could sleep anywhere , or I wouldn't mind having it so I can fall asleep and blame it on something
I once had a guest at an establishment i worked at who, inadvertently called me "bitch" while i was collecting menus, and i thought id done something wrong, but no, it was a tick. She was so embarrassed. I was like, oh, no, i understand. I dont think folks who say "if they had tourettes" really understand how embarrassing it can be. And, i definitely feel for those who have it
She had many ticks during the evening, unfortunately, but was never rude to the staff. She unfortunately had some verbal ticks, which interrupted her dinner
Thats the thing.... you WONT say what YOU want..😂
i had a friend with tourettes, and she was really nice. for her, her face twitched a lot, especially her eyes, so teachers always thought she was rolling her eyes at them. then she swapped schools. i miss her.
I had a friend who had tourette's and she would lunge forward and stuff and said it hurt badly. It apparently came from a horrible anxiety disorder her mom had aswell. One time she told me a that she was drawing or writing with a pencil and lunged forward uncontrollably and it poked her in the eye. Tics arent fun from my knowledge, and im pretty sure i have a minor case of tourette's because sometimes ill get a wierd feeling up my neck and a sudden uncontrollable urge that makes my head move and it sometimes feels better if i like hit the back of my neck. I also had this weird moment were i was stuck in a loop of inhaling/snorting(idk???) or smth like that and i had to be called out of it (but that coulda just been me being wierd idk not trying to self diagnose just sharing experience)
I get that neck thing all the time, too! It’s like a cramped feeling. I wonder what that is.
omg, i love ur glasses =) Dont let people like that girl tear u down
I don't have touretts but I have really bad PTSD and autism so I can relate to alot of stuff x
Hi there fellow autistic!!
I said "happy bird", whistled, and arm flapped all day for a day last week. Looked like a damn parrot. And I work retail. 😂
Why are people so cruel.😢 im so sorry.
I hate people like that a simular thing happened to me so basically some girl posted on her story that one friend who literally hits u for no reason and @ me in her story I told her to delete it and she said no
Also the reason y I hit her is bc tics
Yikes I’m so sorry that happened to you, I hope you aren’t friends with that jerk anymore. I had a classmate say something similar to that girl in the video and my entire table immediately started roasting him. My dude really forgot discrimination exists. 🙄
Bro you do agression against her? Oh hell noo
@@dogwithdog They physically can’t control it, it’s a tic. You can’t help it and you don’t mean to do it. Getting mad at that would be like getting mad at someone for accidentally hitting you during seizure.
@@SystemError1466 bro i understand your point. I throught she was hitting her directly
@@dogwithdog Okay bro not trying to attack you or anything, they said the reason they hit people is because of tics but maybe you didn’t see that, it was easy to miss. You understand now so everything’s all good 👍
if you thought of one of your verbal tics when you got stuck then surely that tic might happen and get you unstuck it was just a thought xx
It doesn't work that way, tics are random and most often not what you're thinking. You don't really trigger certain tics by thinking of them, just that sometimes there can be things that trigger certain tics. Idk about anyone else, but I've never had a tic that unstuck me when I've gotten stuck like that haha
@@annabethchase7178 ok x
As someone who sits in front of a high school peaked mean girl at uni, can relate
Im dealing with these ppl at uni as well. I'm trying to report them for relational bullying but witnesses don't come forward so I can't prove it :(
Torettes is so fascinating not only the Brain science it brings to tw table but the philosophical inquiries about free will and inner self and subconscious
Ableism, pure, and simple. It seems to be growing all over the world, but especially in the US. It's disgraceful.
it sounds like that girl already says whatever she wants and cannot understand the difficulty and embarrassment that may go along with saying/doing involuntary things. how insensitive of her to say that when you are minding your own business entirely
I’m quite new but she is soo pretty and she looks good with glasses
“If I have Tourette’s then i can say anything.” As someone who *doesn’t* have Tourette’s, I don’t think it’s something you WANT to have. It looks kind of uncomfortable and I’ve seen people with Tourette’s constantly telling people that it’s not as fun as they think
She seriously said "I'll have tourettes then I can say anything" like girly you're obviously already saying anything you want when you're going to say things like that. That is just so rude and how rude and miserable do you have to be to make that comment.
I love how people be sayin' " Awwww don't let people like her ruin your day "... While you be sitting here with ur mouth stuck wide open. Hope it went alright.
I went to school with a couple of kids that had facial tics (hard blinking etc.) and i never in a million years would pay it any attention or purposefully make someone insecure ab it. Cause honestly who gives a fuck, im not them, i dont live their life, so its none of my business fr
I had NO idea people with tourettes could get certain parts of their body stuck, you learn something new every day! Thanks for posting these videos, because its clearly very informative of what its like to be someone with tourettes syndrome socially and bodily.
If I was your friend and sitting next to you in that situation, hearing that be said, that girl would have gotten a very unpleasant confrontation from me whether in a dead silent classroom/work environment or after the class was over. I understand that Tourettes can be a struggle, and I commend you for having more self control than I would have had in that situation. ❤ With all that said I love your videos and you sharing your experiences! Keep up with all that you do :)
You're a good friend. I have tourettes and wish people would stand up for me when people make comments like this
