Why do people cry on tik tok and say the most embarrassing things?

[Lynx122]

Is there no better way to deal with your problems or are they so desperate for clout they'll do anything to get views? I don't understand this. Do you have no friends to talk to or a therapist or your mom? Has social media actually become a replacement for having people in your life that you trust and rely on now?

[D_Bone_Steak]

It's driven by the desire for attention. TikTok is interesting because they will gain a ton of followers and "likes" for a complete shit show. They get absolutely shit on doing that on other platforms.

But there is a reason they get the views there and not on youtube (unless it's someone ripping them a new one about it on youtube)... also the same reason popular people on youtube get banned on TikTok. It's a form of China turning us into degenerates (worse than what we already are). They green light shit like eating tidepods or these pathetic whamen crying or acting all "scrong and idnependent" , with fake likes and more exposure...

Meanwhile on the Chinese version, you'll be exposed to classical music playing and math lessons. That's right, they green light the dancing Covid nurses carrying dead bodies for us, and that shit would be banned for themselves.

I mean seriously... it's one of the few things that both the Democrats and the Republicans are trying to shut down right now... by working together... just let that sink in.

I feel like I deserved an award for this answer.

I don't know. I dig a more open book and sharing style of communication to invite maximum growth and learning from each other, but crying and complaining a lot is generally considered quite shameful at least here in Japan.

That's embarrassing. Turn the camera off!

There's a difference as I see it in being very open and expressive in a very mature way (which I like) vs. being so mushy and desperate. All that tends to invite at best is pity.

[Lynx122]

I know what you mean I used this place to share and learn from it too. But there's a difference in doing it productively with a purpose and just venting because you feel hopeless and you've given up.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

For sure; that doesn't seem interested in learning very much either, just venting. Maybe desperate. I think there needs to be more focus on mental health these days, like it might actually need to be part of the public education system to teach psychotherapeutic techniques and ideas like CBT and recognizing cognitive distortions.

My fy page never shows such content to me to be honest, it is personalized according to what I like or what content I search for or how much time I spend on the content I watch. Therefore, I have no clue what you are talking about.

[desidoll]

Seeking for sympathy. I know this woman who filmed herself crying about her infertility and rough pregnancy journey. She got over 2 million followers since then.

[MrOracle]

They are thirsty for attention, sympathy, and clout. They are empty people who are trying to use the internet to fill the hole in their soul where their sense of self-worth should be. The vast majority of these people grew up without a father in their lives, and it really shows.

because it works... you're looking at them

posting about them... and then here we are... giving them more time and exposure, lol

[Lynx122]

Yes but I don't actually watch their content. I watch people who talk about the people who cry on social media lol, not the actual criers cause their content doesn't interest me at all. Maybe it does work for exposure but how can you be proud of your achievement like this.

Nobody's gonna come up to them and be like omg I loved your video where you cried about how you've failed at life, you're such an inspiration. Maybe I'm the weird one that if I was known for anything I'd like it to be something good. Like I did something to help people or I did something impressive and skilled that not many people can do or something like that, not just doing something pathetic for views.

If I'd want that then I'd probably be doing these weird prank videos or giving financial advice about crypto or gambling streams or boxing guys in their 50s or whatever else desperate guys are doing these days but I've never felt any desire to do any of these things.

you're part of the chain...

Look at me. LOOK AT ME!!!

That's why. And invariably it's typically a woman. There's an epidemic of this in this country today. Most women today just want constant attention. And they don't differentiate too much between bad and good attention. So whatever she has to do. Be that I video of her over the top overdramaticly bawling her eyes out, showing her cans, whatever works.

[boggboss]

Because we live in a time of oversharing and people loving the attention and validation of online people

[FunkyMonkee]

They're ON tik tok!! That PROVES they're an idiot!!

[Phoenix98]

Views and attention it's why anyone does anything on social media.

[Jamie05rhs]

They're just seeking attention. Don't mind them.

[euniestars]
