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
@@Ac3_was_taken sometimes tics come from random events, no matter how small or big, or even convos. I know this bc my best friend has Tourette’s and for some reason I trigger them a lot so I’ve learned a lot about them lol. But sometimes they come from nothing, other times random events or big important ones. It rly ranges … there’s no set in stone reason for why a person gets the tic that they get
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 🫶
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 :))
Go on man, ask her out. If y’all are that close that she isn’t offended when y’all laugh about the tics then you gotta shoot your shot I have facial tics and their the whole reason I’m with my gf, sometimes I wink without thinking and I did it while talking to her and she assumed that I was flirting with her. We also laugh out assed off when stuff happens because my face with just spaz out when I’m stressed
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 had a similar story, got diagnosed with tics then Tourette’s at 11-12 then had to get diagnosed again cuz of racist docs who wouldn’t give me tic meds cause I was diagnosed in a different country then I got diagnosed with a chronic motor tic disorder than finally had a new neurologist say I had Tourette’s and put me on meds. Getting diagnosed takes a minimum of a year so it’s so traumatic ticking and not knowing what is wrong with you. I constantly got made fun of for my tics until I got older and got diagnosed then ppl were nicer but still the hate still comes sometimes.
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. :)
Wait question sorry if this sounds rude but I myself have anxiety but never heard of anxiety tics up until now, how exactly do they work and what do they look/feel like? Again sorry if I'm sounding rude but I'm trying to figure out if I have them because I do these sudden movements and I want to figure out if it is normal or not with anxiety.
@@militarycrosssans6983 When I get really bad anxiety tics, it’s usually when my shoulder on my right side jolts upwards, and my head cocks down to hit each other in kinda a rolling motion. If that makes since. Another one is you know how when people nod there head up in a way of saying “What’s up?” My head will do that and get stuck twitching like that for a while. And when I has my NES, it starts with my hands, legs, and head shaking, then my eyes will start vibrating. I’m not entirely sure, because I’ve just recently found out about this. My mom all my life would say “We don’t claim anxiety in this house. It isn’t from God.” And would let doctors test me until recently. So sorry if I give off any misinformation, or explain it poorly. :)
@@inariloli6607 I see thank you, I think I may have them but I'm not sure as I can do like a similar thing but I also have like sudden full body jolts as well out of the blue but more when my anxiety is really bad. Thank you for the information though
When I get very bad anxiety i constantly feel like I need to crack my neck and kinda do a head tilt thing frequently. Im worried i look possessed 😅. But I also mix two thoughts together when talking or doing an action or forget the last 15mins completely then freak out. I also get massive jitters and paranoia and anxiety attacks. Then massive depression. Its scary but also happens worse during my menstrual cycle. Due to hormonal fluctuations. Im also an introvert and cant stand being in public.
I’m not sure what this is for me, but when I’m very anxious, the side of my mouth starts twitching. My eyes also twitch sometimes. And my elbow will jerk around, and my head turns on it’s own usually to the left. My should also does the same thing you are describing. Not sure if it’s from anxiety or what it is. I’ve always been curious though. My face also gets a weird vibrating (?) sort of feeling if that makes sense. Particularly in my cheeks. Any ideas?
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.
my tics are fairly mild in comparison to most and can be held back okayish, so there's ALWAYS the fear of being told it's fake. despite, y'know, a literal proper diagnosis. respect and trust MIGHT be earned, but there's always a base level you need to offer. this is covered by it. 💖
I also have tourettes and have had people also tell me I'm faking it. It sucks and is something I'm scared about when I'm not at home as well. I don't want people to rudely come up to me and tell me I'm faking tourettes when I'm not. It's similar to telling someone that they don't have depression and or XYZ medical condition. It's not nice and I get Tourettes Syndrome is getting popular on social media but it doesn't mean assume everyone who has it is faking it
@@143-y8j there are many forms of tic disorders that are not Tourette’s. I don’t have all the knowledge to tell you much about them but I will say what I know. I have Tourette’s and I have tics all the time (although they fluctuate in intensity) But I know that I have a friend who has tics related to trauma from her past. I’m guessing you probably don’t have Tourette’s. But it is likely that you do have a tic disorder.
@@5hortStarz yeah true as long as the person in question isn’t angry it should be fine and of the person being the subject of the claim isn’t s affected then what right do the haters have to hate?
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.
@@nerissarowan8119 Exactly. I feel like no one actually does that, or it's extremely rare. What really prevents people who have it from opening up is bc of other people constantly saying there's people faking it when in reality no one or almost no one actually does that. And yeah I also think there's way more people who fake being okay than the other way around, they often try to fake being happy/okay bc they're afraid of being judged for example "you just want attention" or "you're faking it" are really common things to hear sadly.
@@shaderchase2118I've been around for quite a few years and let me tell you, yes people will most definitely fake anything from a back injury to Tourette syndrome. And yes it's for attention, whether it's positive or negative they don't care as long as they're getting some kind of attention. Used to be a saying, "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" These days, you have to believe everything and you're not allowed to question it or you might hurt somebody's feelings, in an age where you can't believe anything you see.
In my opinion, while faking disorders can be a problem if you know the person irl, the bigger problem is the general public assuming that people faking disorders is a problem that general people will have to deal with, thus forcing people with disorders and disabilities to feel like they need to walk around 25/8 with "proof" that they really are experiencing what they say they're experiencing. This is an interpersonal issue that has gotten blown up for some people into a social issue, which has in my opinion made it harder for people with disabilities to connect and organise, as there is a current of suspicion in every interaction. And let's not forget, the most ardent "fake claimers" are usually bullies who are using it as a flimsy shield to excuse their behaviour towards people with disabilities (eg- r/fake disabilitycringe)
@@nerissarowan8119 about anxiety and depression, I don't think they fake it, but there's a lot of people claiming they suffer from anxiety of depression when they only have "self diagnosed". I have a friend that every time something makes her sad, she says that she is depressed. Or if she is nervous, she says she has anxiety. And no, being sad is not depression and being nervous is not anxiety. But for some reason it became a trend to "have" mental health issues. I mean, people use these two words in very very incorrect ways and they end up just invalidating who actually has them.
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!
This is SO true. My kiddo (11M) has TS but it isn't like what you see on TV or in movies. He doesn't have coprolalia. His only complex vocal tics are palilalia and echolalia so the only time he uses any expletives is if he's repeating something someone else has said (as a tic and so far there have been no F bombs). He isn't allowed on social media but if he were, he would absolutely be fake claimed 🙄 it drives me crazy that people who don't live with the disorder REALLY think they know more than those who do 🤦
@@britnytaylor4558 Exactly. And the crazy part is I’ve also heard the exact opposite, “You swear too much that’s not a real tic you’re fake”. I had a very young person with Tourette’s tell me coprolalia was impossible the other day because they don’t have it. People will fakeclaim based on any and everything and it’s usually contradicted by a simple google search. I don’t understand why people think it’s appropriate to tell any disabled person that their disability isn’t real without medical evidence.
@@SystemError1466 right?? And as far as the "let me see the diagnostic proof," my son was officially diagnosed around 4yoa but his pediatrician refused to put the actual word TOURETTE in his medical records - she just referred to a "tic disorder" and said that this was for his benefit because of the strong stigma associated with it and since many children grow out of it, she wanted to wait until absolutely necessary to include it. It wasn't until fairly recently that she kind of "threw in the towel," so to speak, and referred him to a pediatric neurologist because managing his TS and severe ADHD became too complex and was, admittedly, beyond her scope of practice that "Guille de la Tourette Syndrome" showed up anywhere in his medical records. There is so much that these people don't know or could even begin to TRY to understand. The absolute nerve is unreal 🤦
@@britnytaylor4558 I know how you feel, I’ve been trying to get a few different things diagnosed for years, but it’s hard when your parents are abusive and don’t even believe the things you’re already diagnosed with, let alone anything new. I can’t even get my insurance card or social security number from them even though I’m an adult, and I can’t physically do a normal job, so I’m probably not getting to a proper doctor any time soon. These people have no idea what it’s like just trying to get a diagnosis in the first place and it’s infuriating.
(Also I know it’s illegal for them to withhold that information from me, I plan on reminding them of that if they keep “forgetting” like they have been for the past year)
I'm 50. I have TS but i went to therapy, and a special school in the Detroit area called Beacon Day School, and i want to point out to the normies and neurotypicals that in my time, we were FORCED to mask, or we got expelled. I was constantly told three words: tell no one. And then taught how to hide it in plain sight by being funny, faking coughing, or sneezing, or to leave the room so as to not disrupt things. I was shamed, punished, and even physically beaten by teachers early on. You do not know what an individual has gone through, what doctors or therapists have used for their treatment, or what other *passengers* they may have (autism, adhd, OCD, DID) so yes, please just try to be kind first.
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 🤷♀️
Yes! If you think someone is faking online just hit “don’t recommend” and/or keep scrolling. The culture we have (at least in the US) around assuming lots of disabled people are “just faking it” is super harmful
I heard a little fictional story about a man in conversation with another, interrupted by a panhandler.. The panhandler said they were dying of cancer and homeless, asking if the man had any money to spare.. And sure enough, the man handed him a $20, without question. The person the man was in conversation with said when the person left, “You’ve just been scammed. That person doesn’t really have cancer and they aren’t really homeless.” Unexpectedly, the man exclaimed joyously, “Oh, well that’s great news!” I really like that one. ☺️
@@XOChristianaNicole Yes exactly :) I mean unless someone is asking something from you that could actually put you in a really bad spot you should always give people the benefit of the doubt! You either lose a bit of something or help someone in need.
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.
Fr the second people see a disabled person not in a wheelchair, or heaven forbid a wheelchair user than can walk 😱, they'll accuse them of lying and faking it. I'm not disabled but I'm so sorry to anyone who has been falsely accused by ignorant or rude people. People need to be educated on different disabilities and conditions, and hopefully more will be.
normal is just another stereotype, like no Patricia if im in a meeting im not going to sit as if looking professional was my whole purpose, im not even paying attention to the actual meeting's topic at that point and rather just thinking "is my posture correct?" "am i smiling okay?" "does my hair look good?" etc. etc.
Although, one possible way that seems to be noticeable for some people is when someone seems to have “tics” at the most convenient times. Think for example of the infamous Tics and Roses where they literally make up tics as the situation calls for it. It is unlike Carly here where she consistently has similar tics that she has shown in previous videos and the tics aren’t orderly to specific times.
@@KL-ki8db i have tourettes and mine are completely inconsistent. i've had ppl outside my family say i'm faking my whole life bc they say my tics happens at "convenient" times. (according to them?) i've literally been diagnosed for as long as i can remember. you really can't tell if someone was faking it. someone who is consistent w tics may seem consistent bc their case is more severe. ppl with mild tics who tic less often are constantly told they're faking. if i was a youtuber ppl could see me go hours without ticing n claim i'm faking bc i don't ALWAYS tic and sometimes i do a lot. it's a random neurological condition. pls don't try to find "fakers", it just ends up hurting ppl who rly have tourettes like me :/
@@KL-ki8dbThis is not true, I have Tourette’s so I can confirm that while it is strange for people to suddenly get new tics that are specific to a situation, it’s not weird for a tic to be triggered by something, it’s actually quite common. Just don’t assume if someone’s faking, don’t even try to look for pointers, because everyone experiences completely different experiences. I’ve been fakeclaimed countless of times and even sent death threats because my tics seemed too fake to them and it hurts to see other people have the same thing done to them
@@Kitty_Onl1neI think what they meant was how it was pretty much always new tics and always fit the situation. I’m not too familiar with tics and Roses but I saw a video where someone pointed this out & in 1 clip the “tic” occurred when they were packing and it was them putting a box on their head and saying something like “send me to Canada” which the person in the video (who had Tourette’s) said that it was too bizarre, out of the blue, and conveniently situation specific to have been an actual tic especially since that was the 1st time it had ever happened. I’m not sure if I explained it well I think what they meant was it’s easier to tell when someone is faking if they are badly overdoing it not that tics aren’t ever triggered by situations but if it happens too often that’s suspicious. Idk if that makes sense. Also not trying to tell you you are wrong or not as you have Tourette’s and I don’t so you clearly know more about it than I do. That’s just what I think the person you responded to may have been referring to.
@@rosepuppy1984there was also another instance of them reading a children’s book and after every line they would “tic” a new line that perfectly rhymed. That just…does not happen. They also laughed at most of their tics. Tics can be painful, and the majority of the time, people don’t laugh at them because they’re so used to them, or they can be a bit embarrassed about them. Not covering their mouth laughing.
@@dischorddynne yeah most people think Tourettes is all making sounds and and cussing. But most of mine are motor. I frown a lot and grunt so people think I'm unfriendly and noisy lol. It's not so bad, I'm grateful that it isn't super severe.
RIGHT. Most people with Tourette’s actually have those tics including me, it sucks that most ppl think Tourette’s is only the stereotype which most people with Tourette’s don’t have because people like us get accused of faking cause we don’t act like the stereotype.
I'm similar. One of my main/consistent ones sounds like a hiccup and the rest are motor but not super obviously tics. I'm grateful on the one hand; they used to be worse when I was younger and I experienced a lot of negative attention, but now people often think I'm strange/irritating and don't realise I have a medical condition until they get to know me. It can also very awkward when they find out I do have TS
Somebody once saw me stimming (a voluntary movement or sound that alot of people with Autism or ADHD do to self regulate) and assumed that i was pretending to have Tourette's. (I barely knew this person, so they were pretty much just guessing that I didn't have it. They were correct, of course, but still. They didn't know me well enough to know that I have ADHD and Autism and therefore stim because of it). I then had to explain the differences between stims and tics. The thing that confuses me is why anyone would ever WANT to have Tourette's. My brother has it, and it seems like a nightmare to live with. I get that these people want attention, but still. . .
Could you explain further on what stimming is? I’ve never heard the word before, I don’t know that many people with ADHD or autism, so could you explain what it is for me? (Side question, could an example of stimming possibly include something repetitively twitching a part of their body, like their neck or jaw?)
@@CrazyFurby5907 I don't mind explaining at all! Psychology, and Autism in particular, is one of my special interests, so I'm always happy to rant about it lol. Technically everyone stims, even neurotypical people. If you have ever gotten antsy and started tapping your foot, clicking your pen, or twirling your hair, then you've stimmed before. It's just that stims, also known as self-stimulatory behaviors, are a lot more prominent in neurodivergent individuals. (Neurotypical people = people whose brains fit the norm. Neurodivergent people = people whose brains DON'T fit the norm. For example, people with ADHD or Autism.) For Neurodivergent people, stims are normally repetitive movements or sounds, and are done as a self regulatory behavior. Of course, what that means varies depending on which disorder you're talking about. For folks with autism it is a way to manage emotions, such as anxiety, anger, and even excitement. It can also act as a self-soothing behavior, as a way to help fight off sensory overload. (Since you mentioned that you don't know many people with Autism, I'll explain what that is just in case. Sensory overload is when a lot of sensory stimuli, such as loud noises or large crowds, going on around you causes you to feel overwhelmed and overestimated). Common Autism stims are Rocking back and forth, flapping your hands, repeatedly touching your fingers together , blinking really fast, chewing on things, ect. . For example, when I'm happy I shake my hands and make a little "eee!" sound. For people with ADHD, stimming is normally a way to help focus, or a way to let out excess energy. A lot of people with ADHD have trouble sitting still, so stimming can be a way to move without being disruptive. A lot of the sims are the same. Rocking back and forth, pacing, and making repetitive sounds are some examples. Not everybody with ADHD stims, but it is pretty common. A lot of other disorders cause stimming too. Anxiety, for example. Also, to answer your side question: Yes, it could. There are some stims that are more popular, but most people have different stims, and there are no rules on what can and can not be one. When I was younger I had a stim where I would repeatedly pop my jaw. So yeah. I hope I explained it well. Despite personally having both Autism and ADHD, I obviously don't know everything, and so I tried my best to do research. If you have any more questions, I don't mind answering. And if you do want to know more or happen to find the topic interesting, I would recommend doing some of your own research. (:
@@project__insanity I think i have stims. I just didnt know the word for it. I make this clicking sound in the back of my mouth. I think its quiet cuz no ones ever said anything to me about it. A lot of times when i realize im doing it ive already been making a mouth beat unconsciously for like an hour. And i do hand stuff a lot. Im quitting nicotine as of a few days ago. And im realizing that like the physical motions of smoking/vaping and having something in my hand/mouth to manipulate and play with is harder to quit than the nicotine. Its comforting
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 :)
Yeah! I had tics.. it was something I had to figure out, I would make faces without knowing and jeek my head back like she did unconsciously, now I'm able to limit it at times and I'm doing better, at the time when it wasn't something anyone talked about so every time people pointed it out it was strange to me, like I felt my face when I tic-ed but it was something I didn't think about. And I don't have tourettes at all..❤
So true. I have Tourette’s and have had it for over 18 years now. I constantly get this question from my friends about videos they see online and this is an amazing answer.
"I got rice, I got rice, I'm friendly" had me rolling on the floor💀 No hate to her she's amazing and unstoppable Edit: HOW THE HELL DOES THIS ALREADY HAVE 100 LIKES????
Hi Carley, use your tourettes to your advantage. Especially when salesman come to your house and other people that you don't care to see. Yes I agree there's a lot of things on the Internet that are fake, but don't let that bother you, only you know you, so own it. Have a wonderful life, you deserve it.
Totally agree! I think the best approach is to make sure the information people provide is good and helpful, you will never know if someone is really faking or what's going on personally but if they claim something debunked about a disorder, for example, you can call that out.
I stumbled across a channel recently that seems to be hellbent on "exposing" Baylen Dupree as a faker. I remember watching your video about her, and I didn't doubt her condition. It just felt so terrible for this girl just going off on these videos about how bad she's "faking" 😔
@Teknikah I agree don't judge people super fast with these things and maybe you never knew that they actually have tourettes but you think that they're "faking" it because they might not have the really obvious tics but someone could have it.
I just wanna let you know that there’s always going to be someone there for you, having your disability makes you very special, and I understand that It can be hard (even though I don’t have it). I will say it again I’m just letting you know that people are here for you and support you for who you are and not the negatives about you, have a great day😊
She makes some good points. Even if people are faking it, who cares. It's only a problem when they do things that harm the community like cussing or extremely exaggerated ticks(I know some people do cuss or have lagger ticks than others, but the media has made it seem like everyone with tourettes is like that when in actuality it's a small group of people).
It's so hard to find good people who have tourettes and aren't faking it recently.. and hard to find who to trust . I just was a tiktoker , I'm not gonna say who , who I really thought had ticks ... But when I looked into their other videos nothing added up and it hard to know who to support 😕
I love your tick omg “I GOT RICE” 🥰 (Had to edit the emoji cause i finally figured out how, now can you PLEASE stop attacking me in the reply section!? It was a little mistake. Omg.)
And there are other people in the comments who are ACTUALLY making fun of her. Go attack them or something? I literally put the wrong emoji, small mistake.
I have tics due to trauma not tourette's and it usually happens when I'm happy, manic, stressed, sad, basically any intense feelings can cause me to have a tic. Some are normal like hand shakes or head twitching but my real bad one happens when I'm stressed I hit my head really hard repeatedly and sometimes even knock myself unconscious as a result of it. My therapist says it's my brain coping with trauma and I'm doing it subconsciously but I hate that it happens because I don't want anyone to think I'm being insensitive to people with tourette's. It makes me feel like sh!t whenever I have a tic and I tell myself "I'm just faking it" or "I'm doing it for attention" even tho it also happens when I'm by myself, It drives me nuts.
You aren’t doing anything wrong, and it’s not your fault that you have the tics that you do. Subconscious things can’t be helped, especially coping mechanisms for trauma. It must be hard with so many people getting hate because others believe they are faking disorders, but you should try to focus on yourself and your mental health. What you’re going through isn’t their business to be concerned about. Not sure if this helps at all, I’m not the best with pep talks, but I hope things get better for you in any way that they possibly can 😊
I love when she tics "I got rice" and flips us off at the same time. It's like flexing that she has rice and we don't lol. Jokes aside, I recently discovered this channel and found it so interesting and educational as someone without the disorder. Keep doing what you're doing and don't listen to dumbasses that doubt you!
I actually thought the exact same thing. Just have faith in them! Also for anyone who’s interested in learning more about it, there is a book called “the insignificant life of a cactus” it’s about a girl named ave who was born without any arms. She moved and is navigating a new life, while unraveling a mystery of her past. She meets a kid who actually has Tourette’s syndrome. I have no clue if it’s accurate or not, but from what I remember it is! It’s a great way to kind of see more how Tourette’s can affect someone. I will say that I read it for a book club, and all of us (about 8 of us) rated it 5 stars. That’s the only one all of us gave full stars ever, and we have read around 50 books ^^
Okay I have Tourette’s too and I’ve been saying this for years. We have a culture of trying to “spot the fakes” on the internet. Obviously people do fake things like this and it’s gross that it happens, but honestly I think it’s a lot better just to give people the benefit of the doubt in this scenario. I had teachers stand above me in elementary school and tell me to “shut up” and “stop looking for attention” or tell my mom I’m a “hot mess” and need to stop “exaggerating”. I was relentlessly bullied by several kids in the class. I promise that no kid would have faked or exaggerated their disorder like that when they were constantly being attacked for it both emotionally and often physically. I would have given anything to hide it. To have people try to call me out as a fake or attention seeker when I am anything but caused a lot of trauma as a kid. I am working on getting past that fear of being watched, and of being judged. I do have mild ptsd though and am working on it every day. I am doing a lot better now as an adult who can speak up and stand up for myself. But please please don’t accuse others of faking a disorder when you genuinely don’t have any way of knowing. And please don’t fake a disorder, it really really hurts those of us that actually have to live with them.
Have you ever considered that there are so many suspicious because there are so many to be suspicious of? Any time a bad behavior is ignored, who is to blame when it’s out of control?
A big indicator for me is that people who actually have Tourette’s don’t bring any attention to their tics and simply continue with their conversation, whereas “fakers” will laugh about them and bring attention to them as if it’s “cute” or “funny”. Like Carly said though, don’t come after people who you suspect could be fake, because it could be very hurtful if that person actually has the disorder.
In my opinion, it's true that you should give most people the benefit of the doubt. However, for my experience around people with tourettes, and those that fake it, an easier way to tell is that tourettes are NOT completely situational. Sometimes tics can be triggered by the situation, but not EVERY tic is going to fit the situation. If someone never tics at an inconvenient time, or only tics when it's "funny" or "makes sense", then they may not really have a ticking disorder. Another one is if someone has a tic that is very obviously painful (such as a hitting or breathing tic) then I automatically assume they aren't faking, since most people who are wouldn't fake a tic like that. But in general, BE NICE. Don't feel like you have to demand proof, or assume everyone is fake until they prove it. All this does is hurt, not help.
Also, not everyone who has tics has Tourette's. I have anxiety tics. I'm not pretending to have Tourette's, I'm just so anxious my brain short circuits occasionally. It's better to live and let live, than it is to dissect the lives of strangers over the internet. Because, sure, you might be right. But if you're wrong, you've just damaged someone's image and will being for nothing. You can think critically, but still be kind.
I agree! And the same goes for anything else. Depression and Autism are two I see called out a lot that I deal with and if I ever try to defend the person people are calling out on those fake disorder cringe subreddits then I get called fake too. It’s just another way of shutting down ND peoples voices. Don’t face because it discredits people who do have it but also the fault is so much on the people who make it their job to call out “fakers”
I’ve noticed as someone with Tourette’s, most people with it will tic and then continue with their lives. They won’t laugh or react or anything because it’s a normal part of life to us. Most motor tics are usually sharp movements, this isn’t always the case but yeah.
Yeah that Tics and Roses person was definitely faking 😂 Theres never any way to know for sure though I wish people wouldn't jump to conclusions based off little information so readily. I have a motor tic where I will slowly move my hand to point and I got called a faker by a random stranger for that.
I have tics but I am undiagnosed with any sort of disorder, (I am young and have not seen a professional) and I have this really weird hiccup tic where its almost exactly like a hiccup but it only happens once unlike hiccups and its so annoying bro
So, I'm not an expert, but from that I know that could actually be a few different things. It could very well be a mild form of Tourette's, but Anxiety and ADHD can also cause tics. You could also have an issue with your swallowing reflex. Keep an eye on the situations that cause you to do that, documents it, and speak to a professional when you're able to do so.
The biggest thing I've seen with people who actually have tourettes versus those who don't is pausing directly after a tick. A lot of people who have been exposed for faking tourettes, if you go back and look at their videos they will take a pause after a verbal tick and then proceeded to continue their thought. Someone who actually has Tourette's does not typically do that and will simply continue on with their sentence as if nothing happened.
Completely agree. Those of us in the disability community who are trying to spread acceptance and understanding want only that. There's no interactive engagement part where people get to decide if someone has a disability. Disabled people do not need others to become investigators or armchair psychologists for us. It does much more damaged than letting the odd snowflake get away with pretending that life is really hard for them. TL;DR If you think someone is faking, just don't say anything.
One time i was out with my friend and i had a rather weird tic, a teenager said "i wish i had tourettes i could say anything" and i just looked at them like tf.... 😭
Honestly, people who don’t actually have this disorder but is only bringing awareness and just being like “this is what the disorder is, people who has this don’t have control.” Saying things that just bring more attention to this disorder makes it less stigmatized and more like “oh this is what people who have this deal with daily, we should give them some more care and more help then just being rude and ignorant.” Incase if the person curses and immediately are like “oh I have tics and I can’t control it. If i curse or do anything that is rude I’m sorry.” Then they’re very nice and nurturing to be around. (Speaking for a friend who has this disorder, he mainly says ‘beep’ and he’s the most coolest person to be here.)
I clicked on this unsure of what you were gonna say on this topic but I'm so glad I did!!! You're definitely right about being kind and not nitpick if no harm is being done! Lots if love!!!
I don't have tourettes but I have tics. Only realized what they were once my friend who has tourettes mentioned that the things id been calling "bad habits" (because that's what my mom had called them my whole life) behaved a lot like his tics. I brought it up with my mom and did research. Found out tics are common in people with ADHD and I have ADHD and literally fit the examples they gave to a t. I'm going to try to talk to my doctor about it next time I see them or my psychiatrist bc she handles ADHD related stuff but my mom keeps telling me it's uncontrollable but then changes her mind saying it's a bad habit that needs to stop and is annoying so yeah I think I'm gonna try to just go to a doctor rather than my mom who is confusing. But yeah. Every person with tics is different. I tic more than my friend that has tourettes and pointed the tics out but tic less than others. Some people need medication others don't, some have tourettes, some have autism, ADHD, or anxiety related tics (or other things) some say phrases and words will others grunt or swear. It's all different for each person and you can never judge what someone is going through just because it doesn't fit how you perceive it.
@Crisspy G. that's a tic sound with their tourettes I may not have TS but I do watch some other people that also do have the same thing and I've noticed that this is a very common thing for people that have TS.
It's kinda messed up that we've fostered this culture of doubt around everyone presenting symptoms of any kind of permanent condition. I couldn't imagine just immediately doubting every single person talking about their experiences like that.
My bestie has tics and she would always appreciate me standing up for her when people were telling her to stop and I'd be educating them, 4 years later I started having tics when I'd get extremely nervous and she's been helping me through it!!:3
@wonderdrop_sparx no i've been diagnosed with tourettes my whole life, tics can absolutely change, my phrases change all the time, pls don't spread misinformation about tourettes :/ you can't tell if someone is faking if you aren't their doctor or an expert on tourettes.
i honestly agree. I'm someone who has high signs of Autism yet I personally don't want to get a diagnosis because it would restrict a lot of things from my life: actually good treatment plans, traveling to other countries cuz I can't stand the US right now, and doctors treating me like a baby and not taking me seriously. I originally did in hopes that I WOULD get better treatment but now that I know a lot of what happens if I do I don't want to get one. And even if one were to get a professional diagnosis it could still be hard for them to achieve that due to a multitude of struggles: toxic families not allowing you to get one, financial issues, etc. I struggled with my toxic family cuz they also bashed me and thought I was a faker. they don't even want me going to therapy b/c they think nothing's wrong when they're literally the cause of most of my trauma. things only got worse for everyone once assholes on the Internet started making mental illness an ✨😻uwu quirky😻✨ trend. ppl taking stuff for attention and whatnot. it's fucking frustrating for the people that do actually have those mental disorders because now they are taken less seriously and are also considered fakers. so bottom line is, as long as someone isn't trying to do harm by getting petty internet attention by claiming that they have a mental illness, they should be valid to self diagnose for awareness/acceptance spreading or to get better professional help.
I love this! As someone with nearly diagnosed tourettes (as in, they told me i probably have it but didnt officially diagnose me) i think this is a great take!
I get told I'm faking sometimes bc my tics are hella cutesy (meows and little squeaky sounds and shit). It's so weird, like clearly it's not getting me any positive attention? And it's highkey insulting to feel like people think I need to fake a whole-ass disorder to be cute, like I'm adorable with or without my tics.
I also have tourettes and some people doesn’t have that much. Its different from person to person. Some people do it often, some not often. Some really loud, some not. And they dont do the same things either. But to tell if someone has it. You can just see if they do some things that aren’t really normal or make some noices. But if someone with tourettes makes some annoying noices, dont be so rude beacuse we can’t control them. But this is actually something that you can grow out of. So if you have tourettes this wont last for ever. It will just last for some years before you grow out of it
I do not have Tourettes, but I have episodes due to vasovagal syncope (a low blood pressure disorder) that result in me twitching, spasming, and staggering/slumping over. I've had plenty of people accuse me of faking Tourettes, including my *own mother* who doesn't seem to understand that just because she gets anxiety twitches doesn't mean nobody else can twitch! It's tiring and I respect your opinion thoroughly. People jump to conclusions so often over a topic that they most likely don't understand themselves!
Although, I think, one thing I've noticed something that is fake is when the tics never repeat and are always very relevant to the situation. ℹI DO NOT HAVE TOURETTE'S AND I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WITH ITℹ
100%, usually Tourettes has a set of tics that are used (variers person to person) and these can sometimes come and go quickly but most of them will stay forever, a lot of the time people with Tourettes will copy certain movements, sounds, words etc. (I have tourettes:))
I don't have tourettes but thank you for saying this because I think this should apply to almost all fake claiming of almost any condition. I live with so much trauma (and more serious health issues than I would probably otherwise have) from 30 years of being treated like I was attention seeking/faking medical issues, until I finally found a doctor who had expertise in the correct area to diagnose my rare genetic disability. Following my diagnosis my mother and sister were both also diagnosed with the condition due to mentioning my diagnosis, but they had never dealt with the attitudes and trauma I had because they both also had other diagnosis that could have explained the pain and mobility issues, (although getting the genetic diagnosis did explain some things they had no answers for too). I can promise anyone, from my experience and others I have seen, the damage done by most of the few people who do actually fake disorders is by far outweighed by the damage that can be done by accusing an actually disabled person or someone with a genuine disorder of faking. Also, bear in mind that if someone feels the need to fake symptoms for attention then they may not have that condition but probably do have some serious issues and that should probably be handled by an actual professional in their real life rather than random people online. Online harassment is likely to just make matters worse rather than fixing the problem
I've recently came across your channel, and you have made me feel better about my tics. I am always afraid someone will think im faking my tics, but you make me less afraid now. I mainly have motor tics and they are mostly the same. I luckily have a friend who has tics as well, which makes me not feel alone when im by myself. You make my day better when my tics get a little worse.
Honestly ticks can be really different every time, even just for one individual. Most of my ticks are entirely internalized in my head, but sometimes I randomly have outward ones and then none for the rest of the day, or they last all day. The inconsistency makes it kinda hard to tell who's faking and who's not
(I agree with u) Problem is ppl on the Internet see ppl with tics and think it has to be tourettes or fake. My brother has tics from stress that basically completely dissappear when he isn't stressed but when someone on the Internet hears what tics r from the tourettes side or the other things they think only what they saw is a correct thing and it's so frustrating... i hope your channel will help them at least understand that everyone with tourettes has a different way for it to show even if the basic things r the same
Hi Carly. I just subscribed today and i think that what you said is really truthful. “Huh. I got rice, I’m friendly” Don’t worry i’m not making fun of it. I love it!😂
Hi Carly! I have Dissociative Identity Disorder and that mentality is very common in the DID community. There is a lot of what we call "fake-claiming", where people will accuse someone of faking DID, and the reality is that everyone presents differently, and trying to guage every DID system to decide if theyre fake more often than not leads to real people living with DID getting accused. That can be extremely damaging to the person and their overall healing process. So, agreed, 100%, let's all just stop trying to decide if someone else is fake and focus our energy on being positive and supportive members of our communities.
Your a sweetheart. ‘I Ve known a few patients that have it and it appears they don’t expect it. I just know they suffer because they have it and noticed one elderly patient seems to have control, didn’t tick once while I was in the patients room. He use to tick constantly- like having a bad case of hiccups. I should have asked him if he did anything to control it so good.
Also, while faking something for attention is obviously not ok, normal healthy people don’t need attention that bad so disregarding people because they MAY be faking just never seems completely right to me
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

@@Ac3_was_taken sometimes tics come from random events, no matter how small or big, or even convos.

@@KareBilliesVersionlike a selective tourette’s ?
@@peskwawa its very simular too that
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 :))
That's so cute, she sounds amazing! I definitely second the advice of learning more, or even watching more channels like ticcing together.
Go on man, ask her out. If y’all are that close that she isn’t offended when y’all laugh about the tics then you gotta shoot your shot
I have facial tics and their the whole reason I’m with my gf, sometimes I wink without thinking and I did it while talking to her and she assumed that I was flirting with her. We also laugh out assed off when stuff happens because my face with just spaz out when I’m stressed
Bro ask her out
I agree with them, shoot your shot
Aww, that’s so cute! Shoot your shot, she deserves someone who won’t be rude about tics! ☺️
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 had a similar story, got diagnosed with tics then Tourette’s at 11-12 then had to get diagnosed again cuz of racist docs who wouldn’t give me tic meds cause I was diagnosed in a different country then I got diagnosed with a chronic motor tic disorder than finally had a new neurologist say I had Tourette’s and put me on meds. Getting diagnosed takes a minimum of a year so it’s so traumatic ticking and not knowing what is wrong with you. I constantly got made fun of for my tics until I got older and got diagnosed then ppl were nicer but still the hate still comes sometimes.
When someone says I'm hungry and then out of nowhere I got rice.
😂
its a tic btw
diam kauuu
Guys that’s not funny
Are you guys deaf? Did y’all not hear what she said? She said she has Tourette’s.
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. :)
Wait question sorry if this sounds rude but I myself have anxiety but never heard of anxiety tics up until now, how exactly do they work and what do they look/feel like? Again sorry if I'm sounding rude but I'm trying to figure out if I have them because I do these sudden movements and I want to figure out if it is normal or not with anxiety.
@@militarycrosssans6983 When I get really bad anxiety tics, it’s usually when my shoulder on my right side jolts upwards, and my head cocks down to hit each other in kinda a rolling motion. If that makes since. Another one is you know how when people nod there head up in a way of saying “What’s up?” My head will do that and get stuck twitching like that for a while.
And when I has my NES, it starts with my hands, legs, and head shaking, then my eyes will start vibrating.
I’m not entirely sure, because I’ve just recently found out about this. My mom all my life would say “We don’t claim anxiety in this house. It isn’t from God.” And would let doctors test me until recently.
So sorry if I give off any misinformation, or explain it poorly. :)
@@inariloli6607 I see thank you, I think I may have them but I'm not sure as I can do like a similar thing but I also have like sudden full body jolts as well out of the blue but more when my anxiety is really bad.
Thank you for the information though
When I get very bad anxiety i constantly feel like I need to crack my neck and kinda do a head tilt thing frequently. Im worried i look possessed 😅. But I also mix two thoughts together when talking or doing an action or forget the last 15mins completely then freak out. I also get massive jitters and paranoia and anxiety attacks. Then massive depression. Its scary but also happens worse during my menstrual cycle. Due to hormonal fluctuations. Im also an introvert and cant stand being in public.
I’m not sure what this is for me, but when I’m very anxious, the side of my mouth starts twitching. My eyes also twitch sometimes. And my elbow will jerk around, and my head turns on it’s own usually to the left. My should also does the same thing you are describing. Not sure if it’s from anxiety or what it is. I’ve always been curious though. My face also gets a weird vibrating (?) sort of feeling if that makes sense. Particularly in my cheeks. Any ideas?
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 have some tick attacks from time to time like once between 1 to 3 to 4 hours idk if it is tourrette's or not
my tics are fairly mild in comparison to most and can be held back okayish, so there's ALWAYS the fear of being told it's fake. despite, y'know, a literal proper diagnosis.
respect and trust MIGHT be earned, but there's always a base level you need to offer. this is covered by it. 💖
I also have tourettes and have had people also tell me I'm faking it. It sucks and is something I'm scared about when I'm not at home as well. I don't want people to rudely come up to me and tell me I'm faking tourettes when I'm not. It's similar to telling someone that they don't have depression and or XYZ medical condition. It's not nice and I get Tourettes Syndrome is getting popular on social media but it doesn't mean assume everyone who has it is faking it
@@143-y8j there are many forms of tic disorders that are not Tourette’s. I don’t have all the knowledge to tell you much about them but I will say what I know. I have Tourette’s and I have tics all the time (although they fluctuate in intensity) But I know that I have a friend who has tics related to trauma from her past. I’m guessing you probably don’t have Tourette’s. But it is likely that you do have a tic disorder.
You have ticsandroses to thank for that

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.
I don’t think I’ve ever met someone faking anxiety or depression, but I’ve sure as hell met a lot of people who fake not having them.
@@nerissarowan8119 Exactly. I feel like no one actually does that, or it's extremely rare. What really prevents people who have it from opening up is bc of other people constantly saying there's people faking it when in reality no one or almost no one actually does that. And yeah I also think there's way more people who fake being okay than the other way around, they often try to fake being happy/okay bc they're afraid of being judged for example "you just want attention" or "you're faking it" are really common things to hear sadly.
@@shaderchase2118I've been around for quite a few years and let me tell you, yes people will most definitely fake anything from a back injury to Tourette syndrome. And yes it's for attention, whether it's positive or negative they don't care as long as they're getting some kind of attention. Used to be a saying, "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" These days, you have to believe everything and you're not allowed to question it or you might hurt somebody's feelings, in an age where you can't believe anything you see.
In my opinion, while faking disorders can be a problem if you know the person irl, the bigger problem is the general public assuming that people faking disorders is a problem that general people will have to deal with, thus forcing people with disorders and disabilities to feel like they need to walk around 25/8 with "proof" that they really are experiencing what they say they're experiencing.
This is an interpersonal issue that has gotten blown up for some people into a social issue, which has in my opinion made it harder for people with disabilities to connect and organise, as there is a current of suspicion in every interaction. And let's not forget, the most ardent "fake claimers" are usually bullies who are using it as a flimsy shield to excuse their behaviour towards people with disabilities (eg- r/fake disabilitycringe)
@@nerissarowan8119 about anxiety and depression, I don't think they fake it, but there's a lot of people claiming they suffer from anxiety of depression when they only have "self diagnosed". I have a friend that every time something makes her sad, she says that she is depressed. Or if she is nervous, she says she has anxiety. And no, being sad is not depression and being nervous is not anxiety. But for some reason it became a trend to "have" mental health issues.
I mean, people use these two words in very very incorrect ways and they end up just invalidating who actually has them.

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!
This is SO true. My kiddo (11M) has TS but it isn't like what you see on TV or in movies. He doesn't have coprolalia. His only complex vocal tics are palilalia and echolalia so the only time he uses any expletives is if he's repeating something someone else has said (as a tic and so far there have been no F bombs). He isn't allowed on social media but if he were, he would absolutely be fake claimed 🙄 it drives me crazy that people who don't live with the disorder REALLY think they know more than those who do 🤦
@@britnytaylor4558 Exactly. And the crazy part is I’ve also heard the exact opposite, “You swear too much that’s not a real tic you’re fake”. I had a very young person with Tourette’s tell me coprolalia was impossible the other day because they don’t have it. People will fakeclaim based on any and everything and it’s usually contradicted by a simple google search. I don’t understand why people think it’s appropriate to tell any disabled person that their disability isn’t real without medical evidence.
@@SystemError1466 right?? And as far as the "let me see the diagnostic proof," my son was officially diagnosed around 4yoa but his pediatrician refused to put the actual word TOURETTE in his medical records - she just referred to a "tic disorder" and said that this was for his benefit because of the strong stigma associated with it and since many children grow out of it, she wanted to wait until absolutely necessary to include it. It wasn't until fairly recently that she kind of "threw in the towel," so to speak, and referred him to a pediatric neurologist because managing his TS and severe ADHD became too complex and was, admittedly, beyond her scope of practice that "Guille de la Tourette Syndrome" showed up anywhere in his medical records. There is so much that these people don't know or could even begin to TRY to understand. The absolute nerve is unreal 🤦
@@britnytaylor4558 I know how you feel, I’ve been trying to get a few different things diagnosed for years, but it’s hard when your parents are abusive and don’t even believe the things you’re already diagnosed with, let alone anything new. I can’t even get my insurance card or social security number from them even though I’m an adult, and I can’t physically do a normal job, so I’m probably not getting to a proper doctor any time soon. These people have no idea what it’s like just trying to get a diagnosis in the first place and it’s infuriating.

I was constantly told three words: tell no one. And then taught how to hide it in plain sight by being funny, faking coughing, or sneezing, or to leave the room so as to not disrupt things. I was shamed, punished, and even physically beaten by teachers early on.

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.
Although, one possible way that seems to be noticeable for some people is when someone seems to have “tics” at the most convenient times. Think for example of the infamous Tics and Roses where they literally make up tics as the situation calls for it. It is unlike Carly here where she consistently has similar tics that she has shown in previous videos and the tics aren’t orderly to specific times.
@@KL-ki8db i have tourettes and mine are completely inconsistent. i've had ppl outside my family say i'm faking my whole life bc they say my tics happens at "convenient" times. (according to them?) i've literally been diagnosed for as long as i can remember. you really can't tell if someone was faking it. someone who is consistent w tics may seem consistent bc their case is more severe. ppl with mild tics who tic less often are constantly told they're faking. if i was a youtuber ppl could see me go hours without ticing n claim i'm faking bc i don't ALWAYS tic and sometimes i do a lot. it's a random neurological condition. pls don't try to find "fakers", it just ends up hurting ppl who rly have tourettes like me :/
@@KL-ki8dbThis is not true, I have Tourette’s so I can confirm that while it is strange for people to suddenly get new tics that are specific to a situation, it’s not weird for a tic to be triggered by something, it’s actually quite common. Just don’t assume if someone’s faking, don’t even try to look for pointers, because everyone experiences completely different experiences. I’ve been fakeclaimed countless of times and even sent death threats because my tics seemed too fake to them and it hurts to see other people have the same thing done to them
@@Kitty_Onl1neI think what they meant was how it was pretty much always new tics and always fit the situation. I’m not too familiar with tics and Roses but I saw a video where someone pointed this out & in 1 clip the “tic” occurred when they were packing and it was them putting a box on their head and saying something like “send me to Canada” which the person in the video (who had Tourette’s) said that it was too bizarre, out of the blue, and conveniently situation specific to have been an actual tic especially since that was the 1st time it had ever happened. I’m not sure if I explained it well I think what they meant was it’s easier to tell when someone is faking if they are badly overdoing it not that tics aren’t ever triggered by situations but if it happens too often that’s suspicious.
Idk if that makes sense. Also not trying to tell you you are wrong or not as you have Tourette’s and I don’t so you clearly know more about it than I do. That’s just what I think the person you responded to may have been referring to.
@@rosepuppy1984there was also another instance of them reading a children’s book and after every line they would “tic” a new line that perfectly rhymed. That just…does not happen.
They also laughed at most of their tics. Tics can be painful, and the majority of the time, people don’t laugh at them because they’re so used to them, or they can be a bit embarrassed about them. Not covering their mouth laughing.
A lot of people dont realize I have simple tics from Tourettes. They just think im being annoying because i clear my throat and whistle a lot.
It's really unfortunate the undereducation about the lesser known syndromes such as Tourettes. I am sorry that happens to you.
@@dischorddynne yeah most people think Tourettes is all making sounds and and cussing. But most of mine are motor. I frown a lot and grunt so people think I'm unfriendly and noisy lol. It's not so bad, I'm grateful that it isn't super severe.
RIGHT. Most people with Tourette’s actually have those tics including me, it sucks that most ppl think Tourette’s is only the stereotype which most people with Tourette’s don’t have because people like us get accused of faking cause we don’t act like the stereotype.
I'm similar. One of my main/consistent ones sounds like a hiccup and the rest are motor but not super obviously tics. I'm grateful on the one hand; they used to be worse when I was younger and I experienced a lot of negative attention, but now people often think I'm strange/irritating and don't realise I have a medical condition until they get to know me. It can also very awkward when they find out I do have TS
Somebody once saw me stimming (a voluntary movement or sound that alot of people with Autism or ADHD do to self regulate) and assumed that i was pretending to have Tourette's. (I barely knew this person, so they were pretty much just guessing that I didn't have it. They were correct, of course, but still. They didn't know me well enough to know that I have ADHD and Autism and therefore stim because of it). I then had to explain the differences between stims and tics. The thing that confuses me is why anyone would ever WANT to have Tourette's. My brother has it, and it seems like a nightmare to live with. I get that these people want attention, but still. . .
oh yeah, I do stimming too, it could be anything to making weird noises or just messing with your hands
Could you explain further on what stimming is? I’ve never heard the word before, I don’t know that many people with ADHD or autism, so could you explain what it is for me?
(Side question, could an example of stimming possibly include something repetitively twitching a part of their body, like their neck or jaw?)
@@CrazyFurby5907 I don't mind explaining at all! Psychology, and Autism in particular, is one of my special interests, so I'm always happy to rant about it lol.
Technically everyone stims, even neurotypical people. If you have ever gotten antsy and started tapping your foot, clicking your pen, or twirling your hair, then you've stimmed before.
It's just that stims, also known as self-stimulatory behaviors, are a lot more prominent in neurodivergent individuals.
(Neurotypical people = people whose brains fit the norm.
Neurodivergent people = people whose brains DON'T fit the norm. For example, people with ADHD or Autism.)
For Neurodivergent people, stims are normally repetitive movements or sounds, and are done as a self regulatory behavior.
Of course, what that means varies depending on which disorder you're talking about.
For folks with autism it is a way to manage emotions, such as anxiety, anger, and even excitement.
It can also act as a self-soothing behavior, as a way to help fight off sensory overload.
(Since you mentioned that you don't know many people with Autism, I'll explain what that is just in case. Sensory overload is when a lot of sensory stimuli, such as loud noises or large crowds, going on around you causes you to feel overwhelmed and overestimated).
Common Autism stims are Rocking back and forth, flapping your hands, repeatedly touching your fingers together , blinking really fast, chewing on things, ect. .
For example, when I'm happy I shake my hands and make a little "eee!" sound.
For people with ADHD, stimming is normally a way to help focus, or a way to let out excess energy. A lot of people with ADHD have trouble sitting still, so stimming can be a way to move without being disruptive.
A lot of the sims are the same. Rocking back and forth, pacing, and making repetitive sounds are some examples. Not everybody with ADHD stims, but it is pretty common.
A lot of other disorders cause stimming too. Anxiety, for example.
Also, to answer your side question: Yes, it could.
There are some stims that are more popular, but most people have different stims, and there are no rules on what can and can not be one. When I was younger I had a stim where I would repeatedly pop my jaw. So yeah.
I hope I explained it well. Despite personally having both Autism and ADHD, I obviously don't know everything, and so I tried my best to do research.
If you have any more questions, I don't mind answering. And if you do want to know more or happen to find the topic interesting, I would recommend doing some of your own research. (:
@@project__insanity Thanks so much. I was genuinely curious about the topic, so thanks for helping me understand 😊
@@project__insanity I think i have stims. I just didnt know the word for it. I make this clicking sound in the back of my mouth. I think its quiet cuz no ones ever said anything to me about it. A lot of times when i realize im doing it ive already been making a mouth beat unconsciously for like an hour. And i do hand stuff a lot. Im quitting nicotine as of a few days ago. And im realizing that like the physical motions of smoking/vaping and having something in my hand/mouth to manipulate and play with is harder to quit than the nicotine. Its comforting
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 :)
Yeah! I had tics.. it was something I had to figure out, I would make faces without knowing and jeek my head back like she did unconsciously, now I'm able to limit it at times and I'm doing better, at the time when it wasn't something anyone talked about so every time people pointed it out it was strange to me, like I felt my face when I tic-ed but it was something I didn't think about. And I don't have tourettes at all..❤
Yeah, I have motor tics lmao
"I got rice" and "I'm friendly" are my faves.
How? She can't fucking help that
So true. I have Tourette’s and have had it for over 18 years now. I constantly get this question from my friends about videos they see online and this is an amazing answer.
"I got rice, I got rice, I'm friendly" had me rolling on the floor💀
No hate to her she's amazing and unstoppable
Edit: HOW THE HELL DOES THIS ALREADY HAVE 100 LIKES????
Literally unstoppable
you're doing alright, she's fine with people finding her tics funny, as long as you're laughing with her and not AT her
You are beautiful carly you are too genuine and honest to be fake
Every tourette's person i know has hillarious tics like "I got rice"! ❤❤
Hi Carley, use your tourettes to your advantage. Especially when salesman come to your house and other people that you don't care to see. Yes I agree there's a lot of things on the Internet that are fake, but don't let that bother you, only you know you, so own it. Have a wonderful life, you deserve it.
Totally agree! I think the best approach is to make sure the information people provide is good and helpful, you will never know if someone is really faking or what's going on personally but if they claim something debunked about a disorder, for example, you can call that out.
I stumbled across a channel recently that seems to be hellbent on "exposing" Baylen Dupree as a faker.
I remember watching your video about her, and I didn't doubt her condition. It just felt so terrible for this girl just going off on these videos about how bad she's "faking" 😔
@Teknikah I agree don't judge people super fast with these things and maybe you never knew that they actually have tourettes but you think that they're "faking" it because they might not have the really obvious tics but someone could have it.
I just wanna let you know that there’s always going to be someone there for you, having your disability makes you very special, and I understand that It can be hard (even though I don’t have it). I will say it again I’m just letting you know that people are here for you and support you for who you are and not the negatives about you, have a great day😊
She makes some good points.
Even if people are faking it, who cares. It's only a problem when they do things that harm the community like cussing or extremely exaggerated ticks(I know some people do cuss or have lagger ticks than others, but the media has made it seem like everyone with tourettes is like that when in actuality it's a small group of people).
It's so hard to find good people who have tourettes and aren't faking it recently.. and hard to find who to trust . I just was a tiktoker , I'm not gonna say who , who I really thought had ticks ... But when I looked into their other videos nothing added up and it hard to know who to support 😕
I love your tick omg “I GOT RICE”

The fact that you note what is a tic in your subtitles is very helpful.
I agree especially when falsely accusing someone of faking is extremely harmful.
“IM FRIENDLY” IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER HEARD I LOVE THAT SM
You know she’s real because people with Tourette’s don’t just do random stuff. It’s usually the same ones repeatedly
I have tics due to trauma not tourette's and it usually happens when I'm happy, manic, stressed, sad, basically any intense feelings can cause me to have a tic. Some are normal like hand shakes or head twitching but my real bad one happens when I'm stressed I hit my head really hard repeatedly and sometimes even knock myself unconscious as a result of it. My therapist says it's my brain coping with trauma and I'm doing it subconsciously but I hate that it happens because I don't want anyone to think I'm being insensitive to people with tourette's. It makes me feel like sh!t whenever I have a tic and I tell myself "I'm just faking it" or "I'm doing it for attention" even tho it also happens when I'm by myself, It drives me nuts.
You aren’t doing anything wrong, and it’s not your fault that you have the tics that you do. Subconscious things can’t be helped, especially coping mechanisms for trauma. It must be hard with so many people getting hate because others believe they are faking disorders, but you should try to focus on yourself and your mental health. What you’re going through isn’t their business to be concerned about. Not sure if this helps at all, I’m not the best with pep talks, but I hope things get better for you in any way that they possibly can 😊
“im friendly”
good to know ur tics are friendly 😄👍
As a person who has facial tics and gets a lot of stares all of the time I find this inspiring
She flipped us of in the beginning 😂
I love when she tics "I got rice" and flips us off at the same time. It's like flexing that she has rice and we don't lol. Jokes aside, I recently discovered this channel and found it so interesting and educational as someone without the disorder. Keep doing what you're doing and don't listen to dumbasses that doubt you!
I actually thought the exact same thing. Just have faith in them!
Also for anyone who’s interested in learning more about it, there is a book called “the insignificant life of a cactus” it’s about a girl named ave who was born without any arms. She moved and is navigating a new life, while unraveling a mystery of her past. She meets a kid who actually has Tourette’s syndrome. I have no clue if it’s accurate or not, but from what I remember it is! It’s a great way to kind of see more how Tourette’s can affect someone.
I will say that I read it for a book club, and all of us (about 8 of us) rated it 5 stars. That’s the only one all of us gave full stars ever, and we have read around 50 books ^^
I love that book 😊
My teacher read that to me and the class a few years ago! It's a great book
Okay I have Tourette’s too and I’ve been saying this for years. We have a culture of trying to “spot the fakes” on the internet. Obviously people do fake things like this and it’s gross that it happens, but honestly I think it’s a lot better just to give people the benefit of the doubt in this scenario. I had teachers stand above me in elementary school and tell me to “shut up” and “stop looking for attention” or tell my mom I’m a “hot mess” and need to stop “exaggerating”. I was relentlessly bullied by several kids in the class. I promise that no kid would have faked or exaggerated their disorder like that when they were constantly being attacked for it both emotionally and often physically. I would have given anything to hide it. To have people try to call me out as a fake or attention seeker when I am anything but caused a lot of trauma as a kid. I am working on getting past that fear of being watched, and of being judged. I do have mild ptsd though and am working on it every day. I am doing a lot better now as an adult who can speak up and stand up for myself. But please please don’t accuse others of faking a disorder when you genuinely don’t have any way of knowing. And please don’t fake a disorder, it really really hurts those of us that actually have to live with them.
I feel this, bone deep.
Thanks for sharing.
Have you ever considered that there are so many suspicious because there are so many to be suspicious of? Any time a bad behavior is ignored, who is to blame when it’s out of control?
You are so kind. Thanks for this lovely message it brightened up my day.
A big indicator for me is that people who actually have Tourette’s don’t bring any attention to their tics and simply continue with their conversation, whereas “fakers” will laugh about them and bring attention to them as if it’s “cute” or “funny”. Like Carly said though, don’t come after people who you suspect could be fake, because it could be very hurtful if that person actually has the disorder.
You are correct, just be nice. You sound so intellectual in your explaination.
In my opinion, it's true that you should give most people the benefit of the doubt. However, for my experience around people with tourettes, and those that fake it, an easier way to tell is that tourettes are NOT completely situational. Sometimes tics can be triggered by the situation, but not EVERY tic is going to fit the situation. If someone never tics at an inconvenient time, or only tics when it's "funny" or "makes sense", then they may not really have a ticking disorder. Another one is if someone has a tic that is very obviously painful (such as a hitting or breathing tic) then I automatically assume they aren't faking, since most people who are wouldn't fake a tic like that. But in general, BE NICE. Don't feel like you have to demand proof, or assume everyone is fake until they prove it. All this does is hurt, not help.
Also, not everyone who has tics has Tourette's. I have anxiety tics. I'm not pretending to have Tourette's, I'm just so anxious my brain short circuits occasionally. It's better to live and let live, than it is to dissect the lives of strangers over the internet. Because, sure, you might be right. But if you're wrong, you've just damaged someone's image and will being for nothing. You can think critically, but still be kind.
Relatable, I have no control over my actions.
I agree! And the same goes for anything else. Depression and Autism are two I see called out a lot that I deal with and if I ever try to defend the person people are calling out on those fake disorder cringe subreddits then I get called fake too. It’s just another way of shutting down ND peoples voices. Don’t face because it discredits people who do have it but also the fault is so much on the people who make it their job to call out “fakers”
The "I'm friendly" made me crack up! Such an cute unintentional thing to announce to people 😊
I’ve noticed as someone with Tourette’s, most people with it will tic and then continue with their lives. They won’t laugh or react or anything because it’s a normal part of life to us. Most motor tics are usually sharp movements, this isn’t always the case but yeah.
Yeah that Tics and Roses person was definitely faking 😂 Theres never any way to know for sure though I wish people wouldn't jump to conclusions based off little information so readily. I have a motor tic where I will slowly move my hand to point and I got called a faker by a random stranger for that.
I mean as someone with tourettes idk what else im supposed to do so i just keep going on with my day 😭
@@Freakyrott They'll find any random reason to say we're faking 🤣
I have tics but I am undiagnosed with any sort of disorder, (I am young and have not seen a professional) and I have this really weird hiccup tic where its almost exactly like a hiccup but it only happens once unlike hiccups and its so annoying bro
do you got rice? since you have tics
@Ky B not everyone has the same tics when they have tourettes
@@fuckincringe oh I wish they had rice tho
So, I'm not an expert, but from that I know that could actually be a few different things. It could very well be a mild form of Tourette's, but Anxiety and ADHD can also cause tics. You could also have an issue with your swallowing reflex. Keep an eye on the situations that cause you to do that, documents it, and speak to a professional when you're able to do so.
Seems like people trying to sniff out fakers does more harm than the fakers do.
The biggest thing I've seen with people who actually have tourettes versus those who don't is pausing directly after a tick. A lot of people who have been exposed for faking tourettes, if you go back and look at their videos they will take a pause after a verbal tick and then proceeded to continue their thought. Someone who actually has Tourette's does not typically do that and will simply continue on with their sentence as if nothing happened.
Completely agree. Those of us in the disability community who are trying to spread acceptance and understanding want only that. There's no interactive engagement part where people get to decide if someone has a disability.
Disabled people do not need others to become investigators or armchair psychologists for us. It does much more damaged than letting the odd snowflake get away with pretending that life is really hard for them.
TL;DR If you think someone is faking, just don't say anything.
One time i was out with my friend and i had a rather weird tic, a teenager said "i wish i had tourettes i could say anything" and i just looked at them like tf.... 😭
I love the *I got rice*😊
Honestly, people who don’t actually have this disorder but is only bringing awareness and just being like “this is what the disorder is, people who has this don’t have control.” Saying things that just bring more attention to this disorder makes it less stigmatized and more like “oh this is what people who have this deal with daily, we should give them some more care and more help then just being rude and ignorant.” Incase if the person curses and immediately are like “oh I have tics and I can’t control it. If i curse or do anything that is rude I’m sorry.” Then they’re very nice and nurturing to be around. (Speaking for a friend who has this disorder, he mainly says ‘beep’ and he’s the most coolest person to be here.)

“i got rice” girl, me too
I don't have tourettes but I have tics. Only realized what they were once my friend who has tourettes mentioned that the things id been calling "bad habits" (because that's what my mom had called them my whole life) behaved a lot like his tics. I brought it up with my mom and did research. Found out tics are common in people with ADHD and I have ADHD and literally fit the examples they gave to a t. I'm going to try to talk to my doctor about it next time I see them or my psychiatrist bc she handles ADHD related stuff but my mom keeps telling me it's uncontrollable but then changes her mind saying it's a bad habit that needs to stop and is annoying so yeah I think I'm gonna try to just go to a doctor rather than my mom who is confusing. But yeah. Every person with tics is different. I tic more than my friend that has tourettes and pointed the tics out but tic less than others. Some people need medication others don't, some have tourettes, some have autism, ADHD, or anxiety related tics (or other things) some say phrases and words will others grunt or swear. It's all different for each person and you can never judge what someone is going through just because it doesn't fit how you perceive it.

It's kinda messed up that we've fostered this culture of doubt around everyone presenting symptoms of any kind of permanent condition. I couldn't imagine just immediately doubting every single person talking about their experiences like that.
My bestie has tics and she would always appreciate me standing up for her when people were telling her to stop and I'd be educating them, 4 years later I started having tics when I'd get extremely nervous and she's been helping me through it!!:3
Another way to differenciate is (I don't have tourrettes) to see if their tics or phrases change based on the situation, and/or change per se.
@wonderdrop_sparx no i've been diagnosed with tourettes my whole life, tics can absolutely change, my phrases change all the time, pls don't spread misinformation about tourettes :/ you can't tell if someone is faking if you aren't their doctor or an expert on tourettes.

Fake

Bro liked his own comment and thought he was cool 💀
If it was fake, she wouldn’t have taken medications specifically for Tourette’s while recording it, showing the exact name and the pill on camera.
We all love the most iconic line “I got rice”❤
I have some light tics when im really stressed, but im like stressed 24/7, so being really stressed is pretty easy
i honestly agree. I'm someone who has high signs of Autism yet I personally don't want to get a diagnosis because it would restrict a lot of things from my life: actually good treatment plans, traveling to other countries cuz I can't stand the US right now, and doctors treating me like a baby and not taking me seriously. I originally did in hopes that I WOULD get better treatment but now that I know a lot of what happens if I do I don't want to get one. And even if one were to get a professional diagnosis it could still be hard for them to achieve that due to a multitude of struggles: toxic families not allowing you to get one, financial issues, etc. I struggled with my toxic family cuz they also bashed me and thought I was a faker. they don't even want me going to therapy b/c they think nothing's wrong when they're literally the cause of most of my trauma. things only got worse for everyone once assholes on the Internet started making mental illness an ✨😻uwu quirky😻✨ trend. ppl taking stuff for attention and whatnot. it's fucking frustrating for the people that do actually have those mental disorders because now they are taken less seriously and are also considered fakers. so bottom line is, as long as someone isn't trying to do harm by getting petty internet attention by claiming that they have a mental illness, they should be valid to self diagnose for awareness/acceptance spreading or to get better professional help.
Her tics are so wholesome! 🥺🥰
The way girl just goes🙄🥴every single minute is CwAzY 🤣
I love this! As someone with nearly diagnosed tourettes (as in, they told me i probably have it but didnt officially diagnose me) i think this is a great take!
“i like rice ت“
the best line
I get told I'm faking sometimes bc my tics are hella cutesy (meows and little squeaky sounds and shit). It's so weird, like clearly it's not getting me any positive attention? And it's highkey insulting to feel like people think I need to fake a whole-ass disorder to be cute, like I'm adorable with or without my tics.
I also have tourettes and some people doesn’t have that much. Its different from person to person. Some people do it often, some not often. Some really loud, some not. And they dont do the same things either. But to tell if someone has it. You can just see if they do some things that aren’t really normal or make some noices.
But if someone with tourettes makes some annoying noices, dont be so rude beacuse we can’t control them.
But this is actually something that you can grow out of. So if you have tourettes this wont last for ever. It will just last for some years before you grow out of it
“I’m friendly” tick was very heart warming ♥️♥️
The only issue with people faking Tourette's is then people assume people who actually have it are faking it aswell.
If they fake claim someone that's their own fault though
I do not have Tourettes, but I have episodes due to vasovagal syncope (a low blood pressure disorder) that result in me twitching, spasming, and staggering/slumping over.
I've had plenty of people accuse me of faking Tourettes, including my *own mother* who doesn't seem to understand that just because she gets anxiety twitches doesn't mean nobody else can twitch!
It's tiring and I respect your opinion thoroughly. People jump to conclusions so often over a topic that they most likely don't understand themselves!
Although, I think, one thing I've noticed something that is fake is when the tics never repeat and are always very relevant to the situation.
ℹI DO NOT HAVE TOURETTE'S AND I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WITH ITℹ
100%, usually Tourettes has a set of tics that are used (variers person to person) and these can sometimes come and go quickly but most of them will stay forever, a lot of the time people with Tourettes will copy certain movements, sounds, words etc. (I have tourettes:))
I have tics, it is very annoying. It's with my neck and it jerks back without warning. It hurts.
I think one red flag is if they’re trying to make money off of their disorder- but it doesn’t always mean they’re faking it
I don't have tourettes but thank you for saying this because I think this should apply to almost all fake claiming of almost any condition.
I live with so much trauma (and more serious health issues than I would probably otherwise have) from 30 years of being treated like I was attention seeking/faking medical issues, until I finally found a doctor who had expertise in the correct area to diagnose my rare genetic disability. Following my diagnosis my mother and sister were both also diagnosed with the condition due to mentioning my diagnosis, but they had never dealt with the attitudes and trauma I had because they both also had other diagnosis that could have explained the pain and mobility issues, (although getting the genetic diagnosis did explain some things they had no answers for too).
I can promise anyone, from my experience and others I have seen, the damage done by most of the few people who do actually fake disorders is by far outweighed by the damage that can be done by accusing an actually disabled person or someone with a genuine disorder of faking.
Also, bear in mind that if someone feels the need to fake symptoms for attention then they may not have that condition but probably do have some serious issues and that should probably be handled by an actual professional in their real life rather than random people online. Online harassment is likely to just make matters worse rather than fixing the problem
I've recently came across your channel, and you have made me feel better about my tics. I am always afraid someone will think im faking my tics, but you make me less afraid now. I mainly have motor tics and they are mostly the same. I luckily have a friend who has tics as well, which makes me not feel alone when im by myself. You make my day better when my tics get a little worse.
Honestly ticks can be really different every time, even just for one individual. Most of my ticks are entirely internalized in my head, but sometimes I randomly have outward ones and then none for the rest of the day, or they last all day. The inconsistency makes it kinda hard to tell who's faking and who's not
My favorite tick is “I got rice.” It’s so funny
(I agree with u) Problem is ppl on the Internet see ppl with tics and think it has to be tourettes or fake. My brother has tics from stress that basically completely dissappear when he isn't stressed but when someone on the Internet hears what tics r from the tourettes side or the other things they think only what they saw is a correct thing and it's so frustrating... i hope your channel will help them at least understand that everyone with tourettes has a different way for it to show even if the basic things r the same
Hi Carly. I just subscribed today and i think that what you said is really truthful. “Huh. I got rice, I’m friendly” Don’t worry i’m not making fun of it. I love it!😂
Hi Carly! I have Dissociative Identity Disorder and that mentality is very common in the DID community. There is a lot of what we call "fake-claiming", where people will accuse someone of faking DID, and the reality is that everyone presents differently, and trying to guage every DID system to decide if theyre fake more often than not leads to real people living with DID getting accused. That can be extremely damaging to the person and their overall healing process.
So, agreed, 100%, let's all just stop trying to decide if someone else is fake and focus our energy on being positive and supportive members of our communities.
Your a sweetheart. ‘I Ve known a few patients that have it and it appears they don’t expect it. I just know they suffer because they have it and noticed one elderly patient seems to have control, didn’t tick once while I was in the patients room. He use to tick constantly- like having a bad case of hiccups. I should have asked him if he did anything to control it so good.
Also, while faking something for attention is obviously not ok, normal healthy people don’t need attention that bad so disregarding people because they MAY be faking just never seems completely right to me
