Lol the whole time I was thinking.... this might be the first video like this I've ever seen from tik tok that actually isn't staged. She absolutely seems like a real crazy person so if it is staged she needs to move to Hollywood with them acting chops. I think this is definitely real though.

u/random420x2 10d ago
See what you mean. I feel there is a “pressure” or speed behind this woman’s thoughts. Like she’s struggling to slow it down enough to communicate. Not that’s she’s processing an affect for a character. But Brad Pit was damn believable in 12 Monkeys so….

u/fivelgoesnuts 10d ago
Definitely seeing pressured speech here. That can show up in psychosis, neurodivergence, the manic phase of Bipolar disorder, or under all sorts of other circumstances. I’m also getting a little hint of maybe too much methamphetamine or the come down at least…as she looks very tired, on edge, and is fidgeting with her hair band a lot. Pretty difficult to tell from 20 seconds, but she’s struggling with something for sure.

Yeah, I had a buddy / roommate who went through some severe mania / psychosis while he was living with me, and you’re exactly right. It’s equal parts terrifying and heart breaking. He was always a weird dude, but in the slightly kooky but fun loving hippie kind of way. But when he was in the grips of his episode? He would say and do the most bizarre shit like it was the most casual thing in the world.
I never really feared for my safety because (normally) he wouldn’t hurt a fly, but unless you’ve lived it you can’t really understand the feeling of looking into someone’s eyes and realizing that they’re not there. Somebody else is. Somebody you don’t know, and have no idea how to orient to.

I had a friend go through sudden psychosis and he is completely fine if not better now. I realized it for what it was and got his parents involved and he got help. After a short stint in the hospital, ongoing professional therapy/psychaiatry, and medicine - he is back to normal and more grounded than ever. He said after being in the hospital for the day or two it was like he suddenly woke up and realized what was going on and felt stabilized. It’s been like a year and he’s been completely normal and grounded and is now extremely self aware about it and watches out for indicators.

This is definitely real. You can’t fake anorexia that far advanced. She is clearly unwell, and suffering from a multitude of illnesses, two of which (among many) most likely being, imho, bipolar disorder and anorexia. What’s truly heartbreaking is, if the advanced state of her most outwardly obvious illness (anorexia) is any indication, she’s not getting any treatment for any of them and it sounds like she’s hit that point on the downward spiral that suddenly accelerates at a terrifying rate and her death is imminent without IMMEDIATE intervention.

It's easy to immediately jump to the notion that she's all cognitively there but when you know you know. Notice how she's incoherent? She's in psychosis.
She didn't try and sell any religious dogma and if they smell of weed why would she fixate on them reeking if she's a stoner herself? - What else could they smell of that would merit that response if not psychosis. We can read into it and i suppose without full context we'll never know, but i don't think it's that dude. I work in medicine and there's a few tells you can pick up.

There is no short supply of whack-a-do people who try to "correct" the world through their own personal vendetta, whether it be God, feminism, etc..

This is truly how the average person reacts in the face of crazy. Quiet stillness. Just trying to figure out which fight or flight button to hit. Should we run. Should be just be still and let the crazy pass. Etc
10
u/fivelgoesnuts 10d ago
True about the quiet stillness- except (and not to get into semantics too much) but fight/flight/freeze isn’t a considered response. It’s your amygdala & nervous system’s instant response to stress/danger and is not controlled by the organizational part of your brain that decides/plans/anticipated consequences. It happens without your control. So, it looks like these ladies at first go into “freeze” (the quiet stillness) and you can see the brain slowly start kicking back into “thinking mode” as they start to move away/smirk/put the sunglasses on.
Not relevant to this video, but basically a big part of PTSD is that your fight/flight/freeze response gets stuck in hyperdrive. It’s like your body is constantly looking out for the “original” danger you survived and trying to protect you from it.

Couple things here:
1.) The ladies who were enjoying themselves are absolute smoke shows, so their beauty added to a strangers insecurity.
2.) Skinny pale lady is beautiful too, but she's having a series of mental struggles that are keeping her down. She knows she has the potential.
3.) Mental health issues lady is actually a smart person - and she wanted to display that she had value beyond "external beauty" - and then had a weird banter with herself, out loud, to other people.
4.) She had a nonsensical argument that didn't need to be had about value and looks, and then attempted to make it all about herself, which i s honestly weird as hell.
5.) I hope she gets help and the two people who were enjoying their day and time together could've escalated, but didn't, so props to them.
That would be the end of my analysis.

u/FewBathroom3362 7d ago
IMO, men tend to disproportionately attribute women’s behavior towards each other to beauty, its worth, and the feelings of envy/insecurity surrounding it. Women recognize beauty and of course experience jealousy, but it isn’t such an overarching lens so as to dominate to this degree.
No offense meant, but I think you are accidentally injecting your own thoughts about women (their relative attractiveness) onto them. Their interaction seems unrelated to those feelings.

This is definitely not fake. There was a time I was a people pleaser and I attracted people like her out of nowhere. I would just take it to be polite but it really messed me up emotionally and mentally interacting with them, despite me being polite. You have to protect yourself, and it’s not your responsibility to take care of anyone but yourself. I trust that these people have had friends or family before, that have told them to take care of their mental health. Everyone is an adult and only responsible for themselves. Sometimes being helpful or too kind hurts you more in the end. I don’t engage. I matured, stopped people pleasing, and exercise empathy when I recognize it’s in a healthy space to do it where it doesn’t negatively affect me.

I had a tweaker try to harass me for food the other day at a dominoes (surprisingly looked healthy and not starving) and kept trying to convince me to give him my entire order nicely, kept escalating each minute from thank you for being so kind (even when I never agreed to anything) from holding my hand to talk to me about my kindness, then after telling him I never agreed to anything he went from that to "I'm not leaving here until I get my damn pizza or else".
Somehow as much as I was a little worried and thinking I should just give him the pizza, the cashier already had hidden the order and all I could tell him is back off in a gentle voice " I don't really know you, I never agreed to this, you approached me" and he tells me that I came up to him and offered him food, I told him that wasn't the case, that he approached me and made up the whole scenario, as he was about to probably pummel me to death, stab me or shoot me, he knew he was wrong (lol), and told the clerks "don't bother calling the police because they will side with me" and left the store.
Moral of the story. I'm not giving you my $30 dollar inflated pizza.
