What makes me tic?
I've been diagnosed with tourette's since the late hours of 2022, and have had my work cut out for me since then, as overcoming the challenges of my condition continued to contribute to my day to day life, up to, including and continuing on well beyond today.
I pride myself on being extremely empathetic; understanding others with little effort (or even intent really) and being considerate and accepting of people's situations and worries.
My thoughts

Why?

Now that's just sad
03
Seriously?

Legitimacy
I believe that "why" someone does something is almost if not as important as what they do. I generally try nothing less than my best to find why someone has done something if I'm trying to make a decision about it, to determine whether or not I would do the same thing in such a situation.
I fail to empathise with people who try to find ways to be miserable or upset. It sounds self-explanatory, but some people tend to be depressing to be around and we don't even realise it; they have a depressing aura, they cannot see positivity. But how do I avoid being so myself? I make jokes, I make light in dark situations. I don't sit and ponder on stuff that doesn't need to concern me. I pick what drags me down, and what picks me up.
How do I know what's what? How do I know whether or not I should believe what I read online, or whether a video I see online is AI? Well, there's merit to the creator (whether or not I trust them from past interactions), but I can't always tell, nor with new creators. If I can't tell what's legitimate, I only see a blurred line between real and fake. I dislike that blur, if it's not a clear line, I clear it myself. The truth is a powerful thing, and knowing it makes me stronger.
I don't envy the people who choose to take every little moment of life seriously, I quite pity them actually. What's the matter with making a joke every now and then? Quipping in conversation, finding ways to keep the mood up? Some people seem to just take life so seriously. You only live once, do you really want it to be a boring, stale, serious endeavour in which you can't have fun?
