For the ppl that is loving the "I got rice" tick, it's like her signature one lol, she even sells t-shirts with that phrase and I'm all on it, it's just cool

I have tourettes, and it's so harmful to constantly be nitpicked. I hate that, when I go in public, I'm more scared of some rando yelling at me for "faking" than the physical pain I'm in.

I don’t have Tourettes, but I have really bad anxiety that can leave me to have bad tics or seizures. Some people really out here saying I’m faking having Tourettes, when I have never once claimed to have it. So thank you for sharing your opinion. :)

She is friendly because she’s
so kind and compassionate… and because she got rice.

faking disorders IS a problem. especially mental disorders like anxiety and depression. people faking it builds a bad reputation and makes it harder for people ACTUALLY suffering from the disorder to open up.

My crush has tics; she's adorable and we giggle whenever it confuses the teacher. (She whistles and does the Twitter notification sound.) It's a disorder I recommend researching; I looked into it for Ciel and now I understand her better :))

Idk if it’s mean but the “I got rice 😎” was hilarious 😂😂😂

[RubenFletcher]

I got rice? That's a first for me. Thanks for the giggle.

[AndrewTateTopG.]

When someone says I'm hungry and then out of nowhere I got rice.

[SystemError]

Thank you, this is exactly what I keep saying. Unless they’re your personal patient, you literally cannot tell, and pretty much anything you can choose to do voluntarily can be an involuntary tic, the brain is crazy complex!

"I'm friendly" Got me wheezing.



OMG I GOT SO MANY LIKES! THANK

[jade_ofthespades]

as a japanese person i am pleased to hear that she also has rice

A funny little story I have, years before I was diagnosed with Tourettes I was speaking to someone and I was ticking and they started doing it to, I just tried to ignore us both doing it because sometimes others will have it as a stress thing or anxiety etc, until she said "can you stop doing that? You're clearly faking it just to set me off with Tourettes" she was never diagnosed and only just then in that moment had tourettes and admitted she was faking it to people, she knew about me being in the process of diagnosing (takes FOREVER in my country, was misdiagnosed as a young kid)

I really dislike the internet's assumptions that if someone is not visibly mentally ill, disabled, etc. That they must just be faking it for attention. As if these people should not be allowed to create community online. My rule is I'm not someone's doctor and less it's completely obvious they are doing it as some soet or cruel "joke" or spreading harmful misinformation I'll believe them.

There’s a kid in my class who has Tourette’s, a lot of people make fun of him. But he’s normal. He’s a normal kid. We shouldn’t treat him differently

[tsukishima-i-guess]

"I got rice" and "I'm friendly" are my faves.

[its_lazy_river]

YOU ALSO GOT TO REMEMBER THAT TICS DON'T MEAN TOURETTES!! Some people say oh yeah I have tics but then get yelled at for faking it when they could just have tics and not torettes like myself I have tics due to anxiety reasons but I don't have torettes :)

[amayadejesus]

OMG CARLY THANK YOU FOR THIS cuz honestly it’s so annoying to constantly have people like “oh ur just faking it for attention cuz it’s a trend now” like no i don’t even have tourette’s i have anxiety tics it’s different and it’s real and it’s hard enough to deal with without people calling me a liar when they see it. thank you for spreading awareness, love your content girl keep it up 🫶

[lysolxx]

Totally agree. Its better to give someone attention for something they don’t have then to go at them for “Faking” cause if they did actually have Tourettes they would probably feel pretty shitty knowing people don’t believe them. Or if you think someone is faking just don’t say anything 🤷‍♀️

How to know if someone is faking tourettes: you don't.
