The craziest thing abt tics is that watching other people tic makes you tic 😭 and weird shit triggers them like being overstimulated by lights, sounds, even hunger triggers mine personally. I don’t have Tourette’s but I have tics and this is my experience.
@@nateflower6704 Makes no sense. Faking for what- fame? She had that before it was common knowledge that she had Tourette Syndrome, and even if it still remained hidden her time in the spotlight wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. The Occam's razor here is simply that she has Tourette Syndrome.
Growing up, one of my best friends had severe Tourettes syndrome. He worked very hard to manage it. In his case, he would yelp uncontrollably, or burst out with a swear word. Physically, he would have a strong neck and body twitch. At first, school kids would make fun of him, but after they understood what he was going through, most classmates were tolerant, and often supportive. It really gave me an appreciation for the courage and strength that people with this condition go through. He has since gotten a PhD in Physics and is a professor.
that’s so cool omg, one of my old teachers has tourette’s and he would get bullied for it but he’s literally the smartest guy i’ve ever met he has like a masters a Phd a bunch of degrees he’s literally genius
@@robnagy1408 What is satanic about having Tourette syndrome? And you guys come saying satan worshipper as if it is written over their forehead, this is weird! How would I know if she is that bastard's worshipper? 🤣
Indeed. Completely agree with that. I just adore the courage she shows in every single detail, like having to deal with this publicly. It must be so hard, but she takes it with so much maturity and being as calm as she can.
Me too!!! So much!!! That's one of the things, definitely, that I love the most of her, personally, appart from her art, her music and lyrics, which are superb too. I think she's just something else, the next big thing, in music industry or whatever she decides to do.
i like that people around her don’t *always* acknowledge the tics. it’s really annoying when people acknowledge the, and you’re just trying to have a conversation.
This makes me feel so much better knowing that there's someone out there i can relate to and since people like to say I'm on a " lower spectrum of turrets " it just makes me feel like I belong almost lmao. Don't let anyone belittle whatever your dealing with❤
Billie Eilish is so gifted and unique it's like she's not human. Even with this challenge and many others, look at her accomplishments. Look how far she's gone. She's more than an inspiration. If I were one of her close friends, I'd count myself lucky
es difícil tener tourette porque las personas generalmente creen que haces y decís cosas con intención, pero todo es involuntario. los ataques llegan de la nada y a veces son terribles. ella me motivó, en parte, a aceptarme.
A mi también me pasa, hay gente que lo controla a mayor o menor medida, pero tienes que pensar en que no quieres hacerlo, pero bueno, vives y te acostumbras a ello 😅, no queda otra
The awareness Billie has provided thru sharing this, has saved so many relations in this 21st century society. If only we would have known in 1960s Many Thanks for sharing ❤
I'm 28 years old and Billie Is the only modern mainstream artist that I think Is cool, she says what she likes whether it upsets people or not, she has great style but most importantly one fiery dark personality but she also has a lovely side to her, I never knew she had this, the mad thing is I can relate to it so much as that's what I am like trying to ignore my OCD sometimes, much love Billie.
Im 40 and music teacher and I think the same .. I’m her number one fan .. the best beautiful happened in pop music in the last 2 decades for me, for everything she represents in music industry as artist and in the world as human. She is amazing and her family as well. So kind, lovely, talented and humble people.
Bless her heart. I know how sore these tics make your eyes and head. My eyes are constantly hurting from it and mine aren’t anywhere near as severe as hers.
I also never knew she faced that! During my childhood in the 70s, my best friend had exactly the same symptoms. No swearing or bad language outbursts, only neck tics. He was outcast in grade school but I stuck with him as his best friend. Somehow he grew out of it in his teenage years, and found the love of his life and they eventually started a family. I lost touch with him over the years but I’ll never forget how his condition never stopped him from doing anything. Cheers Marc, wherever you are.
Don’t feel bad for her. She was born with it. She can handle it. Just don’t make fun of her, or exploit her for it. She is just sharing with these clips, to de stigmatize. Feeling bad for her isn’t necessarily asked for. Some people, if they were to choose, would keep their Tourette’s. You don’t grow and become your own person if you don’t have your individual struggles. A lot of people couldn’t be themselves, without it. So try not to feel bad. It can get in the way, but it does not hurt her. If anything, it actually helps her individually. Other people with this condition are not as fortunate. But that doesn’t mean their lives are miserable because of this 1 thing, yknow?
She’s an amazing artist and I’m glad she’s showing those with the diagnosis that they can still be successful in anything they want. She’s real. She doesn’t hide herself. ❤
Eu assisti um filme sobre essa síndrome, a trama era em torno de uma pessoa que encontrou muito preconceito por causa dessa condição, ao decorrer da história, houve uma série de barreiras a serem superadas, mas que no final ele mostrou para todos que o real significado de exemplo é sempre lutar independente da condição, haja vista que, uma história de superação inspira grandiosamente as pessoas, pois somos nós quem decidimos se continuamos ou paramos.
vale muito a pena ver tb video aqui no youtube de pessoas com tourettes. filmes são exagerados e roterizados pra fins de entretenimento, vai te dar uma perspectiva menos romantizada dessa parte da luta, superação e inspiração
I swear she is the toughest woman in the music industry to go through such challenges, be herself, and never change for any reason other than what she may or may not like for herself. Proud of you girl!
I love her now even more. She suffers. But she is the greatest. This little ocean eyes girl, gave us so much. So authentic and true. Creative an inspiration. Humble and likes to cuddle her fans so bad. She is music and love.
She said in an interview with letterman that it's because of the lights. Would sunglasses not help? Especially with her very light blue eyes. I can relate. Though I don't have tourettes , I can't go outside at all during the day without wearing sunglasses. I am blinded
It’s not because of the lights all the time, it can be a bunch of things, in this case she said it was because of the lights that were triggering her more
@@taand4725 that’s not true. Lighter eye colors are more sensitive to light (photophobia). Lighter eye shades have less pigmentation to protect them. Because of this, they are unable to block out the effects of harsh lights like sunlight and fluorescent lights.
@@astoriahuller5311 I can relate. I have light blue/green eyes, and I've suffered because of the flashlights all my life, since I was a baby. Sometimes it's painful, not just annoying. And the worst thing is, when people around you don't understand, and ask: "why do you always blink or close your eyes, or do strange facial expressions in all photos? It's not nice!" And when I go out: "why don't you open your eyes?" Mmmhhh... really, really annoying!!
Thru her adversity very talented. I can't sing any of her songs. She is very good with style and watched a lot of her Brazil concert and the audience was getting emotional and enjoyed it.
I understand Tourettes. It's a pain in the ass but nothing more. A cosmic joke that the universe plays on people. Harmless. Trust me.. It stops you from nothing in life, really. People that have it, by and large, are largely creative types I've found.
@zheleznova yes, but like some people be having their arm broken and I bet there will be that one person be like: Water? LMAO, I just don’t believe water has all that power, but #stayhydrated
@@micaellucas2877 honestly I think it’s and instinct just because our bodies react positive towards such a basic high priority need such as drinking water. Maybe it eases the mind just a little to drink water regardless of whatever’s happening. I always carry water with me bc taking sips of it calms my high anxiety
@@micaellucas2877 another weird fact is if somebody is bleeding out, they'll ask for water because they're in shock. Shock gives them the feeling of an excessively dry mouth. If somebody isn't bleeding out, but still dying? the body, over time, stops digesting or secreting saliva to break down food. So of course what do they ask for? You guessed it, that high quality H2O. But you should only have them sip or wet their mouth with it. At least that's what I was taught in class haha more of a comfort relief than a remedy.
I'm confused because there have been so many interviews and time she surprised her fans that she didn't even show signs of tourettes. Did this recently start happening to her?
In a interview with David Letterman, she said people don't notice that because the other parts of her body like arms or hands are the ones twitching instead of her head
I used to have pretty bad ones as a child but the biggest ones like this didn’t appear all the time, but when they would it would happen all day for a few days, until I chilled out and it would back to just being me screwing up my nails and fingers, wich no would notice.
Baby girl I got you ❤❤❤. There's no reason to be ashamed of Tourette's U are beautiful no matter what.! I could have the same and it's very scary thinking you could say what ur thinking out loud.... You lose Ur mind thinking U could get memory loss and more and people would take advantage of you. But as long as you have Ur loved ones near you. You are protected. Always ❤❤❤
Wait to you hear her music. She is fantastic. David Ghroul (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) said "she is the only one doing anything interesting in music." He isn't wrong.
Just developed tics over the past month and a half. really sucks because I have a lot of tics that correlate with my costochondritis (which is mostly the cartilage connecting my sternum to my ribs hurts like a bitch every day) and its been rough latley because ive just gotten a breathing tic that hurts SO BAD. Knowing my favorite artist struggles with tics too is very calming.
I think her tics are so cool, I’m like so fascinated by the fact it’s uncontrollable. It’s just crazy to me how the brain works, we think we’re in control and our brain is actually the one in control, we’re just the host.
I'm so sad about her because as a Celebrity it's very tough to have that kind of a illness. Sometimes it'll be very embarrassing if she's having a interview or something like a award show, and what if this happens during a event like that. She's blessed, thanks to god cause she has a little time of a tick attack. There are many people they have been suffering from tourette's and that's the worse.
@@carolinevolasinavicius8115 treating the symptoms is not the same as treating the disease, or in this case the syndrome. Plus medications cause too many side effects
Tbm tenho, mas eu consigo controlar 99% é incrivel. Btw tenho 18 anos. -eles atacam mais quando estou jogando algum jogo que precisa de foco, exemplo: fps,mmo etc...
@@vanessarodrigues4068 sim, na epoca de escola entre 5 e 8 ano, era mais atacado, eu não consiguia controlar, mas eram poucos ticks motores, só de mecher o pescoço pros lados e pra baixo, mas dps q fiquei mais velho melhorou bastante, hoje em dia eu consigo controlar praticamente 100% mas quando estou jogando ou assistindo filmes videos sozinho, eu solto os ticks mesmo podendo controllar. -só tenho ticks motores. -tambem tenho um pouco de ansiedade, e deft dr atenção . Quando ajunta tudo da uma gororoba do kct kaksksksksk, na escola mesmo eu não consiguia me concentrar nas aulas, nem por conta da tourette e sim pelo deft de atenção, era mt ruim kkkkk. -mas a ansiedade é oque ferra mais os ticks da tourette, acho que se eu n tivesse ansiedade, a tourette ia ser impercetível.
I think i can speak for most people who also struggle with tourretts, we dont want you fucking pity, yeah we got it, this is how i live with it im bring awareness now you know so lets just drop it and move on, im still a human
The difference between Billie and those tourettes-wannabe tiktokers, is that Billie genuinely has tourrettes and whenever she is experiencing it she doesnt giggle or say "haha omg" at the end of her siezurs like the tiktokers do. You can tell shes genuinely frustrated or annoyed by it. Tourrettes is not a joke and its not a trend.
I had no idea she had tourettes! It all makes sense now! I always wondered why she almost always looked like she was either high really tired, and her eyes always looked glassy. It's probably because she's on strong meds due to her illness. It's amazing how well she copes with it and how well she's doing as a singer despite it! It definitely makes me appreciate her more
Billie é mais forte que o tourette. Já era fã,agora fiquei mais ainda por sua força e determinação. Te amo pequena Billie. Se eu pudesse guardava vc em um potinho 😍
Ooh..this is the syndrome. I hope she's getting better..luckily..the whole family always there for her..that's hee strength came from..God bless u Billie and your family. Love from Indonesia 😎😍
Me literally having 9 tics watching this I love billie because she shows that everything is okay everyone is going to be fine but just wait for the future to come
