its so insane to me that there are just tens of thousands if not significantly more young people who have managed to contract either very real eating disorders or entirely fictionalized offshoots of actual things like DID and tourettes by simple exposure to other people on social media performing these things for clout. like the social media age is inventing new dancing plagues every day through the sheer power of online strangers reinforcing some self-injurious / dissociative behaviors as indicative of something you cannot control, whether or not their assumptions of this “condition” you have are based in anything adjacent to reality.

stop telling kids they have multiple personalities and cant control their actions and are shifting their mental age and entering the harry potter universe or whatever just because they like the crusts sliced off their bread. in a world where just asking for comfort and validation without any particular justification is cringe and everyone else has it harder than you it’s not surprising people are driving themselves insane just so they can fit into some online community of similarly afflicted individuals just to receive some kind of validation. just to have negative emotions that everyone experiences at one point or another in their lives be reinforced and “validated” as a genuine hardship. you don’t have to have a deeper reason for feeling like shit that alienates you from talking about it with anyone but other online teens with a particualrly active imagination who think they met draco malfoy. just log off of tiktok and talk to someone you care about. for gods sake someone help these kids

like is this not driving anyone else crazy? is this not concerning? im not trying to sound like a boomer but even the forum age of the internet was not this bad for developing minds. there is something deeply damaging about tiktok’s algorithmic content feed

if you equate this phenomenon to the exploration of gender and sexuality on my post im going to send you out of this world like Christ you catholic dunce
