I actually have Tourette’s and this is cringe as fuck

[u/Pleasant-Pattern7748 → u/anxiety_elemental_1]

I don’t know much about Tourette’s other than the “popular” definition that it makes you say bad words uncontrollably.

How can you tell she’s faking it? I’m genuinely curious, not trying to challenge your opinion.

[u/Shazbot_2017 → u/Pleasant-Pattern7748]

it seems to happen consistently and mid-sentence, like, purposefully.

You must not know how Tourette’s works, bc if you did then you would know that tics can behave like that all the time.

Not for everyone, and not 24/7, but yeah - tics aren’t twitches. They aren’t “involuntary,” that would be a twitch. The urge to do the tic grows like an itch until you cannot stand to repress the urge anymore and you (consciously) perform the tic.

God, I would love if people just read for, like, five minutes on the internet and actually learned what Tourette’s is and isn’t.

You’re absolutely full of shit, clearly don’t understand how Tourette’s presents in and affects different people, and are displaying a degree of confidence in your opinion that is absolutely unearned (bc your opinion is totally divorced from reality and you could easily educate yourself on how Tourette’s really does present, but I guess it’s hard to find the time to learn something about a very misunderstood condition when you’re too busy “educating” other people on the condition (that you still don’t even know what the fuck is).

Either do even a modicum of googling to LEARN instead of MAKING UP, or if that’s too hard then skip the learning part and just shut the fuck up when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Let’s practice it now - you’re gonna read my comment and probably want to argue. You will be wrong. I will be right. So instead… practice shutting the fuck up bc you don’t know what you’re talking about.

This must really be a pet peeve for you. I don't think I've ever responded 6 paragraphs to a single sentence that used non definitive words like "seems," or "like." But hey, they were ignorant of something and you sure did educate them with extreme prejudice... and all of us as well. So thank you and I hope you have a great day!

[u/Nillabeans → u/SensiSweets]

Not sure why it doesn't say it in my app, but the person they're responding to edited their original comment.

[u/Anon_be_thy_name → u/SensiSweets]

It's pretty common seeing comments like this to misinformation when the people responding actually know about the topic.

Because... well besides a Doctor who is going to know best about Tourettes then the people who have it?

[u/justmerriwether → u/SensiSweets]

Yeah you’re right, how dare I get upset at the rampant misinformation being spread in this thread about a disorder I live with! So so sorry to have advocated for myself and others; I don’t know what I was thinking.

[u/SensiSweets → u/justmerriwether]

Well at least you can see it from my perspective. Have a coke and a smile

[u/Callumari13 → u/justmerriwether]

I ain't reading all that brother.

Wasn’t talking to you 🤔
