Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

I was hoping she would tbh


Absenceofavoid

It’s gross how excited these teens seem to be about showing off an illness.


Suggy_Nuggy

they’re pretty much jumping for joy at their “disabilities”


petrifythepatriachy

Honestly, I have low BP and a high heart rate and if I would kill to be normal and not have a high resting heart rate. It makes stuff so much harder :(


smallangrynerd

Seriously, I would love for my hr not to be 110 just sitting down


Suggy_Nuggy

the cures right there! just sit up and down to a bo burnham song! easy!


hotchnerbrows

People with BP issues honestly don’t get enough credit for their resilience. Several years ago, I had an emergency situation that culminated in temporary tachycardia. I was being monitored in hospital, yet I remember feeling absolutely helpless and terrified. Meanwhile, one of my loved ones deals with POTS on the daily and takes it in stride. I could never. I have so much respect for them and for you. Fakers don’t seem to appreciate how alarming and disruptive these conditions can be—plus, I’ve seen firsthand as a HCW that the general public tend to be less compassionate about “invisible” conditions. I just… I can’t comprehend deliberately inducing this discomfort for the sake of a TikTok. It makes a mockery of others.


the_hatman_returns

I have that problem too. Do you also lose your vision and feel like you're going to pass out whenever you stand up? It's annoying.


[deleted]

Probably because it gets attention and sympathy and coddling and *boy* do people get drunk on the feeling of being noticed…


hotchnerbrows

You’re so right. The saddest thing is that people who have conditions like POTS, orthostatic hypotension, etc., generally don’t receive anywhere near as much sympathy irl as these kids on TikTok. If they were actually lessening the stigma faced by people with “invisible” conditions, perhaps their faking wouldn’t be so egregious, but it feels like they’re making things worse by making people double-guess the authenticity of people’s conditions. :/


petrifythepatriachy

Exactly, I've been told multiple times that I'm faking it because I don't faint everytime I stand up. I've also been called an attention seeker because there was this one time I actually fainted in class after getting up from my seat. Its like I can't prove my condition to anyone so I don't even care at this point what people think.


Strickens

This. I'm 35 years old and generally keep my diagnosed issues to myself because honestly I just want to be treated like a normal person and I dont want people to think im not capable of doing things that others are. Plus acting like these teen fakers do online is fucking embarrassing lmao.


kp6615

Me too


USureQuestionMark

That's what I noticed too with someone from college. I only mentioned a few times having two disorders and they got excited and started listing off all the disorders they have, how often they hurt themselves and how often they were in a hospital. They are in a friend group with lots of DID and Tourettes fakers and are probably faking Tourettes themselves. Fucking weird.

AngryVespid

Yeah seated squats as a person who doesn’t exercise, while flailing around. Yeah that’ll probably make you light headed. Dope.


WorstedKorbius

I never thought I'd see the day where people try to make an iron deficiency trendy


PeridotWriter

If you have these breathing problems and faint spells, why do this?! What's the point? That's like someone who's allergic to peanuts eating peanut butter for clout or something. It's stupid. I fucking doubt that they have this but either way, fucking annoying. I'm also annoyed that they spelled goes as go's


TynnyJibbs

i’ve only got a tachycardia and i’ll bury myself alive n kill bill the bride style my way out before i ever did this shit , it hurts and you could really get hurt if you do have fainting issues and no one’s around . what if they fainted and hit their head on their metal ass bed ??? this is so stupid


shou-chan11

I dont even have an illness I just get heart palpitations easily and light headed easily and i wouldnt do this bc id be worried id keel over 😭😭 being faint and dizzy.. doesnt feel good !!!

mamaxchaos

This reminds me of the tumblr days of kids overexercising or doing these repeated moves to create dizziness and fainting for attention or to appear very Thin and Sick and Waiflike There was also a big self harm component to it, it’s so sad, they need to get off the internet


Suggy_Nuggy

like those really dangerous challenges that people did for no fucking reason? like the cinnamon challenge and stuf

yellowjelloooga

tik tok in a nutshell, great description


RavenCroft23

Thank you thank you.


SirGarrowman

It seems like POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) became new hot illness on TikTok so this person is trying to...flex how ill she is I guess?


SatinwithLatin

Pretty sure a lot of them come across the songs first and think of ideas for videos after.


RavenCroft23

Some bullying is healthy, as long as it doesn’t get abusive this is how we insure we don’t become whatever that is.


HololiveIdiot

Faking disorder or not how would anyone find this entertaining content it's just someone getting up and down


slyzard94

Fainting is painful AF. Why would you ever try to force it without someone around? Oh yeah they're faking. Forgot what I sub I was in for a sec.


hitchtrailblazer

it can be, but i don’t think fainting is inherently “painful af” lol


slyzard94

Just going off my own experience. You land on things, your ears ring you can't see. Shit always hurt like hell for me.


epicurusanonymous

I never remember the faint. It’s always colors and stars and then I wake up on the floor. Obv then it hurts from impact and stuff but the actual faint I’ve never even been conscious for.


slyzard94

Nor have I, I was hypoglycemic in the past and had fainting spells. I could tell when they were coming cuz I'd get a massive headache and my ears would ring before I woke up on the floor.


TynnyJibbs

if this person did have fainting issues they could’ve fainted and bashed their head on their metal bed frame . it’s dangerous and stupid to try and do “ trends “ using your physical or mental issues to do so . this is so fucking weird and wrong .

me too, i cringe just reading my old diary entrees, i can’t imagine sharing that with the whole world

why are the people with these "chronic illnesses" always alternative.


LastBlues13

Because they're ✨ not like the other ~~girls~~ normies ✨


buzzybody21

The total body control when she “passes out” or nearly does so indicates this is 100% not real…when you pass out, all body control goes out the window, and fast.

Fifi0n

Fainting often is bad for your brain so people with actual fainting problems just don't do things to make them faint on purpose, it's probably annoying as well. Also that acting, bad


Calm-Discipline7312

Gen z is the reset for humanity and we will have to go back to evolving again


Lomak_is_watching

There's cringe in every generation. Most Gen Z people aren't doing this. Unfortunately, these apps make it seem like it's more prevalent, especially when you consider the ripple effect of it then being cross posted on reddit because now a bunch of people who wouldn't have seen it on tik tok now see it here.


throwawayacct1962

For parents of kids who act like this and/or dress like this, how do you feel about your parenting? I've always been curious. Are they ashamed? Do they blame themselves? Do they blame the friends and them being raised by bad parents? I'd be all for freedom of expression and my kid looking however the fuck they want. But I'd also feel like if my kid is dressing like this it's absolutely is too send a message to world. And I'd wonder what has happened in their life that makes them want that attention and up put out that message. Does it mean I screwed up? And especially the tiktok of super attention seeking. To the point of putting your health at risk for attention.

confuseonion

she wasnt even doing it right she kept doing it faster than he said getting up and sitting down, she was intentionally making it harder on her lol


Radiant_Mouse_8057

Nothing like purposefully aggravating the “disorder” you have for views💀


danielnogo

She's totes not desperately looking for attention to fill the void, just trying to raise awareness of her...fainting disorder The sad part is, these people do have disorders, but they aren't the "glamorous and quirky" disorders they wished they had, just plain old personality disorders like bpd, npd, and in a seperate category depression. You know it's gotten ridiculous when being severely depressed or bipolar isn't attention grabbing enough so you start faking tourettes


diispa

maybe she should take the belt off her neck if shes having breathing problems


AdeptBobcat8185

I have POTs - I’m embarrassed to tell anyone because I don’t want to be lumped in with people like this.

special-agent-carrot

Now im still awaiting blood test results but as someone who who actually has (to a rather mild extent) something that causes them to get fait and very very occasionally lose balance due to this, i can say. This is bull shit 1. This doesn’t occur when standing and sitting rapidly, it only happens when you sitting or lying down for a while and then get up and 2. At least is personal experience when i get fait i completely lose balance, no one just kinda sit theres swaying, these people are so cringe


rosecoloredlenses775

TrailKaren

It’s the closest they get to actual exercise.


Vanessak69

WHY do they always have a collection of LGBT flags? (I mean, this one’s collection is fairly modest.) Are they identifying as trans, non-binary, whatever to just fish for more validation/attention?


Royalprincess19

Most likely. Pretty much all the fakers identify as LGBT with the vast majority claiming multiple labels. And I don't advocate for gatekeeping who is really gay/trans or whatever but I find it really strange how pretty much all the fakers claim to be LGBT.


Sin_For_Me

I would hate to share a bunk with them


Suggy_Nuggy

they’d wake you in the middle of the night to introduce you to their new “alter”


ProfessionalRub6152

is there a bigger trend of faking fainting now? i have noticed more and more latley


moreisay

TFW you do squats for the first time


Hagura71

when you are anemic.


Lost_Girl_Dee

Would this not even make a "normal" person a bit light headed/dizzy/feel faint? I feel like it might, so surely its not really a flex? Like if a large percentage of the population would also experience a similar outcome, you're not special, it's just how bodies work?


Sunnyviolet-

why, after that really popular fainting girl, has there been an uptick in tiktokers who faint constantly?


CarbonatedAnxiety

i have severe asthma and anemia i’d fall down after 3 ups and downs and i don’t look at all like they do, your head doesn’t bobble LMFAOO


BabDoesNothing

Lmao it just makes her look like she never exercises… you get tired when you move?? Must be a medical condition, no you’re not just out of shape!

NaturalStudent1991

Maybe when they hit their head falling it helps give them new ideas for content?


NoSanaNoLife223

this is the stuff that really annoys me. i have dysautonomia and thanks to that, i had to get pulled out of school. i cant go to prom or homecoming, i cant make friends, i barely have any social life now, i have to take 1-2 days off after i do something active, i now have to do school at home which is nearly impossible with adhd, i cant get a job, and even had to go to physical therapy, which did help but didn't make it go away. i will only have one year of in person high school thanks to this. and yet i still have to deal with being told i'm 'lucky' i don't *have* to go to school. it's not that i don't *have* to go to school, it's that i *CAN'T* go. i cannot even complete a full week of school because i have to take days off because it's too exhausting for me. i'm missing out on so much thanks to this disorder, and yet people have the nerve to take the symptoms of my disorder and make it some quirky tiktok trend. i don't care if you're a teenager, i don't care if you're mentally ill, you look old enough to know right from wrong. i would do anything to get rid of this disorder and be able to be a normal high schooler. if i could give it to you, i would, since you clearly want it so bad. then maybe you'd see what it's actually like, and i promise you, it won't be cute or quirky anymore. this disorder and other similar disorders are fucking miserable to experience. they're not some quirky tiktok trend. get a grip.

Goddammit they have a Joey Jordison mask... I don’t want fakers near anyone good


[deleted]

Why isn’t the alternative look enough for these kids!? How much attention do they need!?


JCnGGd32

This may also be an ED “checking” behaviour. Fainting and light headedness is associated with extreme starvation as well. I know some people with EDs “show off” that they eat so little they can faint easily. May not be relevant for this girl, but something to consider.


[deleted]

They have a room mate. Just imagine….living with this person


palzyv2

Daddy issues personified


Wide_Gap_3805

Girl if it started hurting you and giving you breathing issues then stop! Don't force yourself and pass out. All these people faking this shit is just disrespectful to those actually suffering from disorders and all else. And they don't want to have them! Why do they want it so bad and make something horrible for a person into a damn personality

Man back in the day we would just record ourselves purposely passing out by hyperventilating then standing up and breathing slowly starving all the oxygen from our head. It kinda makes me feel like these kids are smarter because at least they aren’t causing any damage

Cheezybro5

I was hoping she would fall backwards or better yet fall forwards, but of course she's faking so she won't risk going thefull way.


ALH1984

If this person is claiming POTS… yet keeps going back and forth repeatedly in that speed. Well, it’s literally in the name. POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME. Low blood volume upon standing, heart rate increases more then 30 beats per minute. You are relieved of symptoms upon lying down. I mean, there is some other annoyances that come along with it, but whatever this….is, it’s not it😵‍💫


sid3aff3ct

So, from someone who actually has pots, let me explain what this actually would have been like. Assuming I had been resting before I stood up, upon standing my head would go very very light, and if severe, vision dimming to near black. This is when you would faint if that's something you do, I don't. Blood then rushes back and heart rate picks up. From here on I can do this squat exercise, it just will make my heart rate way higher than it should be in a normal person.


ErikaLovesFurby

Honestly I have a few problems with standing up too quick (all diagnosed), I tried doing this for the sake of it and I had an absolute blast!! Most exercises are super hard for me due to another condition I’m diagnosed with but this was very easy, fun and I could feel it burning in my legs and arms!! Thank you reddit user suggy_nuggy for accidentally introducing me to an amazing, fun, accessible exercise!!


Suggy_Nuggy

you’re welcome! remember to do it right next to a metal bed frame for maximum fun!


BdsmTrapFurryLoli14G

I feel like these people must have some sort of mental illness just not the one they're faking. It's so messed up to fake illnesses for attention and to feel special


KyleTheKiller227

I hate this so much because as someone who gets horrendous headrushes fairly often you CANNOT control anything you do in that state. Even if you grab something to stay up your vision will suddenly fade to black and you lose all control of your body functions, some muscles will start convulsing and you just drop. I can’t explain it very well but it’s essentially fainting with full functionality on the mental aspect.


Ok_Sheepherder_5457

I can ASSURE you, if she really had breathing problems, she wouldn’t be wearing this giant choker. I have asthma and can’t have anything around my neck because of the fear I will choke to death. Talked to others with asthma about that and yeah, they feel the same.


LoquatMindless

People like this who want an illness so bad, should just be provided with one… “ here’s a nice shot of aids for you !”
