I feel like those people must live in a small town because eating alone in a place like nyc is just so normalized???

Yeah these days you can’t just stop to get a quick bite to eat somewhere without people making assumptions

people who think like that are the same people who would try and "befriend" the quiet kid so they look like a good person, all while being condescending and rude to them

fr i eat alone all the time and i LOVE it

some of us just can't stand to hear the sounds of other people eating. it sucks but it's that or headphones

Hahaha "the bar was in hell, and that person still tripped on it" has officially entered my own lexicon. Brilliant.

What a great way to put it 😂

Fucking lol

Not hell, Australia

I BET YOU SUPPORT ABORTION HUH

Exactly. The only reason I can think of where you could go beyond consent is if some kind of accident was about to happen, like they hadn't noticed a vehicle when crossing a road, and a stranger pulled them out of harm's way.

As someone with ptsd triggered by being randomly touched, thank you!

Agreed. Disclaimer: I know you aren’t generalizing people with autism but I have something to add to what you said ^ Although it’s commonly assumed that people with autism don’t like being touched, I personally don’t mind it at all as an autistic person, and it’s important to note that everyone with autism is different in terms of preferences. The thing Kurtis mentioned was that they also had contamination OCD. OCD has a lot to do with phobias, and when these phobias confront people with OCD it’s essentially a gateway for anxiety and engaging in obsessive and compulsive behaviors to deal with it. It’s very distressing and difficult, and it makes it more difficult when things which people are typically ok with are something that other people fear and it’s not something that people understand. Also, the fact he left that in the video….. why would you feel comfortable filming strangers crying, knowing you caused it, and leaving it in for them to be criticized by your followers?

@@Snaggle-ToothedDog exactly. That's like even worse. A complete lack of any empathy. Bc not only did they leave it in they specifically pointed it out for people to criticize and mock.

ong also they were most likely in a fast food restaurant, like who tf would want someone else to watch them shove greasy food down their throat?? people just cant leave other ppl be.

this is something i have been saying for years, i genuinely think we should normalize being old since we will old go through it one day lol

idk about your country but in mine it’s illegal and you can get to 45.000 € if they refuse to delete the video

@@yunaoooothat’s cool! I live in American, I don't know if we have something like that in place.

Unfortunately in some cases, America doesn’t do anything like that. To protect the right to free press, stranger can film stranger only IN PUBLIC. If ur not in a public space tho, it’s illegal

It really is a scary possibility. You could become a meme in a specific internet community and never even know it.

my worst fear is being buried alive so we're basically equal

People really don't know how to mind their own business, huh?

im so sorry about that. it disgusts me how people love to record us people with disablities/mental disabilities/disorders etc the most. its so disgusting and it fuels my paranoia and agoraphobia. i hope one day itll at least die down if not completely end for good..

It's so stupid. I've also been photographed without consent. These kinds of people just expect you to go along with everything they want, so you need to crack down hard and threaten to sue them if necessary.

Same thing happens with me and my service dog all the time

A Canadian acquaintance of mine got groped in public by a creepy old man and when she went to the police station to report this, they just laughed at her and said “that’s something you have to get used to when you live in Japan”. Another Swedish friend got raped and abused by her Japanese boyfriend but the police didn’t believe her story at all, because of course they rather believe the Japanese man.

Same reason their Iphone camera noises are always on by default and can't be turned off. People kept doing upskirts, to the point that it became a genuine problem

I don't know if it still exists but I Hate how recording strangers has become so normalized. It should be illegal.

I always thought people of Walmart was disgusting and I always judge the person behind the camera more.

People of Walmart is still a thing

People of Walmart is fucking disgusting. I don't care what the person is wearing or what they look like, it doesn't give the right to take a picture and post it to publically shame them

Omg I always felt like I was one of the very few people pointing out how fucked up POW was.. It was just totally socially acceptable that everyone was making fun of poor people.. Never made sense to me. Bum fights was also super fucked up, even more so.

it’s all “support mental health” until literally any aspect of it isn’t sanitized and cute

as soon as you actually stop masking and reveal symptoms of your mental illness, it's "ew, not like that, freak".

The people who would do that never supported Mental Health in the first place, until it comes to a time when someone made them feel sad and they made a series of 5 tiktoks about it.

Just like the "THAT motherf--ker is NOT real" plane situation. People made fun of here and bullied her online relentlessly when she probably already was traumatized from that situation.

​@@cyan1721Or maybe people shouldn't invade people's privacy?

"ummmm if you dont wanna be filmed in public, literally stop going to a job and starve to death and die in isolation forever god 🤪 it's that easy" unhinged. fucking unhinged. people saying this can't be fuckign real. you can't have real neurons and think this way. i refuse to believe it. actual worm brained behavior.

Fr, just because something is legal doesn’t mean you should do it.

Same energy as all those people like "Hey if you don't like one specific law you can leave the country." Like bro we don't have to define our personal morals based on the law; it's not illegal to just be rude and unpleasant but that doesn't mean we should do it.

THIS!! I saw a video of two girls sharing an umbrella and I mentioned how weird it was to film them and people kept saying "IT'S NOT ILLEGAL!" "They're in public, you can't expect privacy in public" "It's not like the person recorded them naked, why are you making a big deal out of it" And I'm just like??

The way this shit gets on my nerves so much. Like especially if you work at public places like me. It’s against our rules to film at the gym i work at. These people will scold you for walking in their shot and tell you to go to a different gym or exercise at home like dude no you go somewhere else youre breaking the rules

It doesn't make me feel awkard but it pisses me off because its a sign of them being stupid. If they can't figure out that being solitary does not mean "lonely", then they're stupid.

Oh fuck youre right

fr I have PTSD and was starting to believe people like the ones that have hurt me are rare because I worked through my sht. But they aren't, they're "normal" and increasingly common. The truth is that my anxiety wasn't wrong in this jn regards to basic human decency. How tf am I supposed to not be agoraphobic and/or paranoid when, factually speaking, the threats aren't rare??

Literally me. I'm so done with this 😭😭😭

@@sourgreendolly7685 FUCKING LITERALLY RIGHT???? I spent years being made fun of and pathologized and treated like a delusional crazy person, only for people like this to not only be extremely common, not only act like this in broad daylight all the time, but for people to literally not care about it and not think it's all that weird. How are we supposed to "heal" when the traumatizing situation we experienced becomes the society-wide default expected norm?

@@Natasha-bf6ykEXACTLY. It's not cool to dehumanize people just because they're using game terms. I don't get how that isn't obvious.

It's just an alternative way to say "I am the one that matters and everyone other than me and the people I know are simple, one dimensional beings who exist to fill up space". For me, that's the exact definition of narcissism.

Yeah....sometimes I struggle with sitting because I'm so afraid of pedophiles looking at me :(

YEAH NO FOR REAL. I don't have OCD and haven't gone through SA, i'm just autistic but i have EXTREMELY SEVERE sensory issues because of it. People touching me is a major one, to the point where most of the time i can't even handle my own mother touching me. I flinch away and stuff, as well as i've hit her hands away before because I didn't fully register it as her. If a stranger touched me- ESPECIALLY MY SKIN LIKE IN THE VIDEO- i would end up slapping their hand away. And if they had anything oily or something on their hands it would be 10x worse for me.

You mean film without consent? Also I’ve def seen a documentary or 2 film ppl in public without consent

@@Dolphinboi lol yes, i meant without. and yeah there’s a LOT of documentaries that do/have, but the point is that the practice is fundamentally unethical regardless of whether or not it’s been done before.

Yes, but documentary film making forces you to get consent often times because of the entities that you’re representing in the documentary and the entities that you will be selling the rights to the documentary to, not because it unethical to film in public, at least not in America.

@@cyan1721 for corporate-backed film maybe, but for independent/student doc, no. also the reasons those conversations are being had in a film school environment are solely because of ethics. what we as students make for that class won’t be distributed/released, but we will be held to certain ethical standards.

​@@Fyndh3678many people do not have their own lives. They have an idea of what that is, but all they do is consume. National mainstream celebrities are only a thing because of these people. It disgusts me. Our brain is the most capable of unique expression and they opt to waste it. They'd rather fit in and be no one.

I can't even explain why I still do this. It's not even consistent. Sometimes I have to actually sit in my car and pep talk myself about how I'm not nearly important enough for anyone to notice. That's when I walk into the store with a sock from the laundry falling out of my pant leg.

Exactly. It's even worse because doing something normal can get 10 million views and have thousands of random strangers being mean for literally anything. You wearing crocs outside? Flip flops? Shorts in the winter? Shouldn't have done that, front page of TikTok 20 million views 40k comments.

legit if someone does that in your face, hit them with a “you cant be doing !random offensive action!” in the most serious tone it instantly ruins there footage

This is exactly how I feel. Not everyone’s going to be comfortable with being filmed, or better yet don’t film them at all if you have little to no shit who they are?

Who cares anyway. But I made a video about a girl dylng and she was crying in pain(try not to Laugh video)❤😞😞

I like this as an American, but one quick question. Is it legal to film someone threatening you or doing harm to you or your property?

Key word is public

Yeah I completely agree children should never be allowed to be filmed! I don't even think their parents should be allowed to post photos and videos of their children. But I do see the downsides to both sides of the issue. Because in America you are allowed to be filmed in public because you are in public and there is no expectation of privacy. But you cannot be filmed in the privacy of your own home because there is an expectation of privacy. And in Europe how will you know if politicians are doing something terrible or if your police are doing something terrible? Or what if your neighbor is harassing someone. It does keep people accountable knowing that IF they choose to behave badly in public or choose to do something illegal or corrupt it will be filmed. The question is which is worth more? Which is more valuable? Protecting people's privacy even when public or keeping people accountable for their actions? And I think it depends on who you are the answer to that question. I have my own personal opinions but I don't know if there is a right answer to that question. Aside from filming children. That should be illegal if you're in public and it should be illegal for the parents to post it publicly and I think everyone can agree on that.

@@javanboydI’d have to assume no unless it’s surveillance video on private property. Otherwise you’d have to commit a crime to avoid becoming a victim of a crime

​@javanboyd it's allowed on your property. And if sw threatens you it should be fine, you're collecting evidence

Literally!!

most of them aren’t even actually sad about seeing it they just want to virtue signal about how kind they supposedly are for “caring”

@@cosmosisrosekind of reminds me of that thing people say. “I never liked _______, but now I’m sad because they are gone.” or “I hated him but he didn’t deserve to go” Like dude we get it, you’re a such a good person for feeling empathy 🙄. Idk if I’m overreacting but that’s just kind of how it feels to me lmao.

fr. it's so incredibly condescending 😑

Yes. And as someone who prefers solitude and is anti-social, I get a lotttt of people everyday at work asking if I’m okay or people trying to strike up a conversation out of awkwardness or pity. Like no, I’m not depressed or sad or having a rough time. No I’m not tired. I actually quite enjoy my life and this is the happiest I’ve ever been. But the thought that someone can be genuinely happy and still prefer solitude/not be smiley all the time is perplexing to everyone. They don’t even believe me when I say I’m fine or okay. “Well I’m here for you, just to let you know”. This shit has been happening my whole life. Leave me alone.

I’m a dance teacher and I definitely agree! Especially when it comes to my middle school and high school students, I can only imagine how on edge they must be in school 😣

Older generations only had to worry about being judged by their town or neighbourhood, younger generations are worrying about being judged by the whole world. If older people were being judged they could move a couple towns over and start again, younger people have the potential that people across the whole world could be judging them and no matter where they move they might find someone who knows them and judges them.

And honestly this just shows that we shouldn't have those social media pages tho as much as I use KZfaq myself and as long as it's here I'll watch stuff or whatever it's not helping us as a whole at all

I was relentlessly bullied at school, and one of the things my bullies used to do a lot was take pictures and videos of me without me knowing and sending them to each other on BBM and Facebook. That, among other things, left me with PTSD and severe anxiety, and while therapy has thankfully helped me take my life back I still get a jolt everytime I see someone smiling at their phone while using it in front of me. I can't imagine what it must be like for younger people now given how much more widespread social media has become - back in the day I at least knew my pictures wouldn't get out of my bullies' circle, but now anyone could go viral at any point. It really, really sucks.

Back in college (2010) I had this irrational fear of uploading pictures to the internet because I though I would become a meme, like Scumbag Steve or Bad Luck Brian, and people would make fun of me forever. Thankfully Facebook was very limited back then, and going viral took more effort. However, with TikTok, I feel for kids with anxiety today. Being made fun of online (and against your will) is way more prevalent now.

One of my cursed memories from middle school was this girl who decided to hug me without my consent. She was a total stranger. And she would hug me everyday when she saw me. And her friends would laugh because I was so caught off guard and confused. I even took the long way around to my class just so I wouldn’t have to run into her. It took me years to get over being touched by strangers. It was so violating. It finally ended when I asked in my most condescending voice (after a couple weeks of this) “are you OK?” Once she realized I saw her as crazy she stopped. Because she was, what she was doing was crazy. And just like that girl being a bitch and humiliating you like that is fucking crazy. She was a kid, but a lot of these influencers just don’t ever grow up, and it’s scary.

Yeah, it's really sad. :( I think part of the weekend mentality is that a decent portion of the world has their religious services on Saturdays, and when they go to buy something on those days, they don't expect to see people they know, because... 😮 They weren't at services??? (Yes, I'm Christian, no, I don't think this about people) -_-" People have their own life. I don't get why that's so strange to some people...

exactly! Im lucky to have really good customers at my job but when I see all these prank videos that serve to basically fuck with retail workers, I imagine myself in that scenario and it makes me furious. These kinds of people really act like people who work retail/food service/minimum wage jobs simply exist to serve them

That's why I felt so uncomfortable when I first started seeing the npc meme pop up. I was a bit of a strange kid and took my time learning that everyone else's opinions were just as valid as mine and people had their own reasons for liking or disliking things and now it feels as if people are _trying_ to unlearn that on purpose

​@@liljatupsudude that's awesome that you bettered yourself like that! Truly, congratulations, most people aren't self aware enough to notice much less change anything.

Thinking of other human beings as NPCs, or seeing strangers as not real people are signs of a sociopath. The only fake “people” are these ones. If you lack human empathy you aren’t a human and I won’t treat you like one. These “people” need to be lined up against the wall, but for the time being just carry a green laser. Shine it directly into the camera lens and it’ll destroy the entire camera. There, now they have no reason to stick around.

Me too, I had been getting more comfortable going into public spaces but that video and the aftermath genuinely had a lasting impact on my confidence :/

I had a waiter come up behind me, put his hand on my shoulder and ask how my food was directly in my ear and I legitimately screamed, because I have PTSD. I was so embarrassed, everyone was staring at me, I just needed to get out of there before I had a panic attack. The waiter felt bad but like DON'T TOUCH PEOPLE, especially from behind! It seems innocuous to people who are lucky enough to not have that type of trauma, but when did we start thinking this was ok? Kids have been taught forever, "keep your hands to yourself" but these social lessons seem to disappear when those kids grow up.

That would probably help fight revenge porn too

When the place that outlawed C.P. in 2014 has better public filming laws than your country:

Disgusting. What is with Japanese culture sexualizing little girls and women? And I'm not saying it has anything to do with race, it's the culture of Japan itself.

In the US, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place. If the place is open to the public at large, you can absolutely be filmed without your consent.

privacy in public?

Exactly, sousveilance is the one exception.

100%.

@@casie6609 If you can't get justice any other way then of course. But in general I do believe that bad people/criminals have a right to privacy as well. At least that's the law in my country.

@@peanutbutter4435 I agree. Invasion of privacy is rapidly increasing with the clout addiction epidemic.

I luckily got in my car safely that day, but after that I always had security escort me out. It’s been years since that, but it went on for about 3 months and all of a sudden I never saw him again. I also have moved states since then so i think i’m safe.

And it just feels super gross, some lady took a photo of me at work once and I hated it but also felt like I “ought” to be nice to customers so I didn’t say anything because I never thought that something like that would happen, now I would be ready to tell that person to stop

​@@fleuroseaDude I once took the picture of an inside of a boba shop just to flex the fact that I was getting boba for the first time to my friends, I intentionally shifted the angle of the photo so the worker wouldn't be in it. I don't understand why people do this. Side note, my brother who I love who I also hate though, immediately went "she took a picture of you!!!" to the worker and I will never, never stop being salty at him for it 😭 THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING

This! I had a guy that came into my work every day and even knew what car I drove. He took pictures of me and even posted a picture he took of me in my uniform from behind. I was 17.

💀

Some people just cant read the room.

i’ve seen a crowd of people standing dead eyed filming a car that was on fire with officials trying to help. i was pulling into work and it was honestly haunting to look at. you couldn’t even see anyone’s face but the idea that possibly filming someone’s last moments wasn’t bothering any of them was horrifying.

@@mekenna6214it’s so strange to think of the world we live in now

One time i was at the beach and a guy went into cardiac arrest and everybody (about 40 people) stood there recording while the paramedics attempted to resuscitate him on the sand. Their kids were recording. He died.

This happened at the resturaunt i worked at. someone was haing diabetic shock and heat stroke on the side of this narrow road. People kept blocking the one lane we had to get the ambulance in to hang halfway out the windows and film on their phones. I would calmly ask them to leave so the ambulance could get in and theyd flip me off and then drive away.

that was like 12 awes

I laughed my ahh off at that 😭

i went to six flags and one of the scare actors had a beautiful spider costume with a long dress and webbing details, and i politely asked if i could take a picture to show my boyfriend her costume. she was so sweet and said "of course!" and did a pose showing off the sleeves and it was a lovely interaction. it only took like five seconds to ask and the photo looked even better because she posed to show off the outfit!

Ahhh I have blonde curly hair so this made my day thank you

Weird.

@@PoopNukerwhat is?

I really liked my coworker’s outfit the other day and I asked her if I could take a picture of her in that outfit because I wanted to draw it and she said yes. Consent is necessary.

"Consequences? For *my* actions??"

absolute chad gym owner

Good to know there are good gyms and gym owners out there.

yeah it’s crazy but after all the airplane karen’s ive seen, i’d prob wanna record too😭

idk seems very reasonable

Only the government can spy and film us on our cellphones. We aren’t allowed to film.. we are peasants and our 1st amendment rights don’t matter

Who cares anyway. But I made a video about a girl dylng and she was crying in pain(try not to Laugh video). ❤❤

@@hoveringvan9961They’re not saying the announcement and rule is crazy, they’re saying it’s crazy it has to be a formal rule in the first place. They are in support of people not filming strangers.

Ask for permission? How exactly

@@Boostiverse literally “hey, can I film you for a video I’m making?” Or “hey, do you want to be in this video?” The actual words are simple, not everyone has the guts. All it is is asking for consent.

@SauceM3 Try using words. It's not hard.

actually tho i feel like i’m the crazy one now

Selection bias, every sociopathic narrsisist is already on social media. And people who are not are less likely to make social media

im pretty sure theyre predicting our gen (gen z) will become the least empathetic people in thr world because of the way we grew up and the situations we have grown up with (aka covid etc)

Especially the people immediately slamming that one autistic kid… like I’m autistic and I’m told I am a robot, or lack empathy, and then those same people turn around and destroy a stranger for the way their brain is wired

That’s a good thing. People are accepting reality more. The girl who was touched by the dancer has no right to complain about it, because that’s not a normal human reaction. Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean everyone else has to stop what they’re doing and suck it up and owe it to you.

in addition: - give me 5 dollars - i really need 5 dollars - don't ask why someone needs 5 dollars - always give someone 5 dollars if they ask for it

Should you though? if you admit crimes to a paramedic i don't think they're bound to silence, as soon as you recover a lawyer told me that there will be a cop there if you did something illegal resulting in your injury.

​@@salamanticsso you don't die. If you lie or hide important information from paramedic you might die or the person who they're helping may die. If your friend is overdosing it's essential they know on what drugs.

@@salamantics you can leave some stuff out if it didn't directly have to do with your injury Like a man was constipated once and his wife tried using a wooden spoon to get it out and they ofc did NOT wanna tell the psremedics from embarrassment but they had to. I think that's kinda what the original commenter meant

@@salamanticsI had a teacher who was an emt before teaching and he said they aren’t required to report anything you did(usually drugs and the like) so you should always be honest because if you aren’t it could cost you your life

real!!

I’m the same way I have a service dog and that doesn’t help anything when it comes to the unwanted attention and as much as it would be great if people would ignore my service dog I’ve accepted that people aren’t used to seeing dogs and might not mean harm I’ve also been diagnosed with agoraphobia and my service dog helps tremendously with it so it’s kind of like pick your poison 😭

Dude that is genuinely horrible, I'm so sorry that was something you had to worry about at your school. In grade 1 I knew another girl (not even a friend) who would simply *pretend* to look over the stalls at me, not filming of course, probably not even actually looking, just trying to mess with me, and that has seriously lingered with me to this day. It's not a fully conscious thing, but like 90% of my stress-dreams involve going to the bathroom in a weirdly public place where everyone can see me and I'm apparently the only person in the world who cares about privacy, and I definitely have a bit of a general irrational fear of being watched when I think I'm alone, thinking about my stuffed animal having a camera in it, etc. This shit stays with you and it's absolutely not okay. I don't expect kids or literal 6/7 year olds to understand that, and kids in general are feral, but it's GOTTA be addressed... there's so many new things people gotta worry about teaching their kids

ive been recorded several times as someone whos Somewhat visibly autistic at my school

Yea i think ppl in middle schools and high schools are The worst offenders when it comes to this its appalling

​@@RxinboeClxudz same, it's really anxiety inducing The account has been taken down multiple times but they keep bringing it back, a lot of my friends were really triggered by it

At my hs, people would film and make fun of overweight staff 😣

TRUEEEEEE

Also the way cyber bullying isn't even disguised with another word anymore, people will outright say they enjoy bullying people online, they think we should "bring bullying back" or whatever, it's genuine freak behavior

Honestly

THISSSSSS

@@amoureux6502 bullying is genuinely traumatizing and people act like it's no big deal. i've heard so many people say bullying helps people become "normal" or some shit. it's insane that they act like it's their duty to make others feel so insecure that they change themselves and don't see anything wrong with it

omg yess it was one of the youtube fitness influencers. Naomi Kong maybe?

I see a lot fitness influencers starting to do this, but the ones who say no thanks, or leave the frame after being informed, are still left in the video…

Yes!! nataleebfitness is such a good example of how to film in public

@@Alex-zp3kxhis names Kurtis you dumb flip

People who film in gyms should be kicked out automatically. Especially given the amount of extremely fatphobic content that comes out of gyms.

same it's always in the back of my mind when i go in public

same, its already happened to me a couple times at school other than general bullying, i had to drop out right when i turned 16. why cant people treat us like fucking human beings??

As a fellow spicy-brain, I feel very seen by this comment.

SAME and my autism already makes me petrified to leave the house so this fear just adds to it. It sucks that we have to worry about stuff like this why can’t ppl just mind their own business :( Like I feel like the internet has made ppl forget about boundaries and also that the people around them have feelings

I don’t have an autism diagnosis but this has always been such a fear of mine as well…. Constantly imagining what I’m doing like I’m watching myself in third person lmao

it must suck. i was on facetime with my mom once and a nurse walked in and then she yelled at ME about recording her even tho.. i wasn’t. so i thought it must happen quite a bit if she just assumed that was happening 😭

Really? Way more often I see nurses filming patients or just making quirky videos about their condition without their consent.

when my dad was in the hospital, we had a nurse that was really handsome and my sister and i acknowledged it. my mom secretly filmed him and we both told her how it was illegal and that she’s a freak for doing that but she sees nothing wrong with it bc filming strangers is so normalized in her home country

@@melly7174where is she from?

@@k80_ Yeah, that's definitely another problem. I've talked to paramedics who collect photos of gnarly or unusual injuries, and I'm just like, "how did you get this person's permission when all their bones are falling out and they're on fire?" There can be a lot of conversation during an ambulance ride, so I like to HOPE that they do have consent for those photos, but IDK man, I think I'll stick to drawing as my hobby and focus on shoving those fire bones back into place when I'm on the clock as an EMT. There are SO many laws and regulations about patient privacy. So many.

I dunno if I fever dreamed this but I remember i saw a video of a man taking a picture of a woman’s underskirt in Japan where he forgot that his phone made the shutter sound. It was so sad on the woman’s part. I hope he still live with that and that he paid 😢

@@firefly_the_rescue9308i mean that does happen frequently in japan, there are even signs warning women that men take advantage of train settings to take pictures. Absolutely disgusting

Not only Japanese phones actually. If you go to Japan, your phone will automatically disable that option. The sound is very loud too. It's a good protection of course, but it can be annoying when you want to respect the calm of certain places.

​@@gugusalpha2411that's not true

@@ikeshi How that? The fact that phones automatically disable the silent photo? I mean I've experienced it myself. Though it might be because my phone was a Sony, idk

I understand how your ex feels, my boyfriend was taking his mum's dog for a walk and the dog did her business, so obviously he had a poop bag and cleaned up after the dog. While doing it a group of young girls laughed and filmed him. It was insane.

Lol im so sure

Right! I am neurodivergent and have bad days where a culmination of factors make me very sensitive to stimuli. It’s hard enough going out, TikTok and the never ending thirst for clout had made me even more afraid of people. Like my hands aren’t doing well so I’m wearing ponytail extensions instead of braids and my first thought stepping out was, “What if someone comes and tries to snatch off my ponytail for a TikTok prank video?” 😑 Like dude, people should not have to worry about this sort of sh*t.

I never really understood paranoia induced anxiety attacks until one horrifying experience. I took what I assumed was a normal ecstasy pill at a music festival but it was laced with something weird and had a really bad reaction to it (my fault I know). It was an on site camping festival (Coachella) and while I was alone in my tent that night I convinced myself that the conversation our neighbors were having was about them conspiring to dump an ice chest full of water into my tent because I thought I had somehow inadvertently offended them during my delusion (I hadn't and they weren't). I swore I heard them secretly talking crap about me and formulating their revenge so I spent the whole night half hunched over awkwardly standing in the middle of the tent waiting for them to do it until the literal sun came up. I even thought I heard them asking a security guard for permission to harass me based on what I had done to them. It was really bad. I didn't fully snap out of it until I tried to explain to my friend why I was so upset that following morning and he looked seriously concerned for my mental wellbeing. Luckily by then the effects had mostly warn off so I was slowly able to recognize that what I experienced was all in my head thank God. Just because my situation was drug induced doesn't mean otherwise sober people don't suffer from these nightmarish delusions. It is so real to you when you're in that state that it's absolutely frightening. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

"Sonder - noun. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own." A word you don't see very often, but I've always loved the meaning

Fwiw just know that none of what others say reflects on you. The people who partake in these types of posts are a bunch of chronically online no life losers who think getting a bunch of likes equals achievement. Twitter is a weird place and warped af at this point.

I hate sharing pictures of myself and i even despise the fact that my mother has childood photos. It makes me unconfortable the fact that my photos might be somewhere online.

Same! Being extremely aware that some teenager might film, post and make fun of me online makes me super anxious 🙃

@@laurenvcouto I. get anxiety just thinking people at my school even recognize me or know my name and im constantly scared that strangers are judging my clothes and appearence. I really dont need my face shared whit anybody. or my name

Happened to me once. Some Highschool kid took my picture on the bus, and send it to one of his friends, making fun of my face. As if I didn't already feel ugly enough

Literally all of the creeps making these tik Toks were alone while recording their tik Toks about how sad it is that people are eating alone

@@BlackLivesMatter1414 should is a strong word here. People don't have to have a partner necessarily. Or anything for that matter.

​@@BlackLivesMatter1414 yes it is. Some people don't want a partner and it's not your place to police what makes others happy. Hope this helps! 😘

@@prixe12 thank you! Exactly. Also people who go out alone aren't necessarily lonely or single either. And what if they are? Having romantic or sexual partners doesn't make anyone better than those who don't. Anyways, cheers @BlackLivesMatter1414

@@BlackLivesMatter1414 Then use a word that doesn't imply people are obligated to have this or that. It's common sense and avoids confusion

Are you alright? That sounds absolutely horrible to have went through.

@@softiesoftie561 Yeah, I'm fine, but I never taught that class again, and the students who did it were suspended, so at least some form of justice was dealt.

@@arachne4070 just quit your job to be quite honest. The teachers are definitely making fun of you behind your back, and if they aren’t than the student certainly are. How are you supposed to cultivate a relationship of respect with any of them now?? You’ve shown your mental weakness to adolescents. What a fool you’ve been. Children are sociopaths. Now they’re just going to want to try to solve the puzzle of how to make you have another break down. What kind of bullshit did they teach you at the school where you got your degree that makes you eligible to teach if they didn’t even teach you about the psychology of adolescents??

i am TERRIFIED of being filmed having a meltdown or a panic attack. i'm usually able to hold it off a little until i can be alone but i'm scared that one day i won't be able to and i'll get posted on social media to be made fun of. the way people are so self-centered is pathetic tbh

(IF YOU GUYS TRANSLATE THIS IT WILL MAKE YOUR DAY BECAUSE I'M A REALLY NICE PERSON) 😊 મને નાની છોકરીઓ તેમના ચુસ્ત ગધેડા ઉપર બળાત્કાર કરવો ગમે છે કારણ કે તેઓ રડે છે અને ચીસો પાડે છે કારણ કે મારી ચેનલ વધુ સારી છે 😹😹❤

The way people think standing out = deserving of disrespect is so backwards. Like even if you WERE asking for attention (I know you aren't, just hypothetically) - that doesn't mean taking pictures of you. It's not that hard to comprehend. People act like they aren't opening themselves up to the exact same thing when a stranger decides they're a weird NPC by continuing to defend this behavior.

YES THIS. Alternative ppl of any style don't exist for you to take photos of and film. Ask us for consent if ur gonna do it or else ur gonna get my ass in a sweet lolita dress punching you in the face as you don't have the damn decency and respect to just let me be

I’m sorry, also goth music and culture is beautiful and awesome, don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise

I hate the whole “if you dress different then you’re asking for it” like no?? Just because someone is dressed in any type of Alt fashion, a colorful outfit, or even a costume, it doesn’t matter. Unless someone is straight up holding a sign that says “Please take pics of me” then they are not “asking for it”

People always think women or people who act or look different than the norm deserve anything done to them it’s actually insane how people can’t understand consent.
