I Have Tourettes - Will My Blind Date Be Offended? | DATING DIFFERENT

SUBSCRIBE to Truly: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
MONICA, 20, from Sydney, Australia has had Tourettes since the age of seven and experiences both vocal and physical tics. Her tics were mostly vocal for 10 years and she started developing physical ones more recently. One of her symptoms is Coprolalia which is involuntary swearing and the use of obscene language. Monica has been cautious about dating as she’s worried about how others may react to her tics. Today, we see the 20-year-old go on a blind date. Will sparks fly between her and her date, Lilla?

“You’re boring” 😂 hahahahahahahahaha I’m sorry but that was hilarious

Love her positive energy and her confidence and and so is she sweet and amazing and course and so brave ❤

[@PeterPantheFearless]

"People on the streets are rude" But, strangers won't know you have TS so they're gonna get mad hearing "F**k you". But, if they're still rude after they know you have TS, then that's terrible.

[@rebellefleur435]

She said "you're boring"" hahaha omg🤣

People please respect people with tourette syndrome or a tic disorder these conditions really rip our life away and it's very hard to live life not knowing what we're going to say not knowing what we're going to do, we can't help that we hit people swear at people punch people. I've punched a few strangers or suddenly whacked them and turns out they didn't care at all. They just laughed at me and go. What are you doing? And I apologize and explain what my condition is and they explain to me. They know people or some member in their family has Tourettes or a tic disorder and it's very encouraging and very satisfying. So please respect us. This condition is horrible. We cannot help what we say or do If we don't understand this condition THAT'S COMPLETELY FINE but please educate yourself or ask us questions. We be happy to educate but we hate the criticism and ableism towards us. That's something we don't appreciate

[@RakisDerra]

That must be incredibly hard and exhausting to deal with all the time... I have nothing but respect for people like you

[@ihadastrokereadingthis]

that must be super hard to deal with! i have nothing but respect for yall, i think it’s quite a cool yet stressful disorder.

[@TheKatChat47]

Hope that you can deal with it🥺❤️

[@Brooke-qm6zp]

She was boring though lol

[@OiamArchives-qc1ev]

Are you being weird funny? I don’t get the hint of sarcasm so I know that’s not it 😂😂😂 she has a disorder as it’s plastered throughout the title as well as her saying she has Tourette’s and explaining her condition. Yelling out absurdities is just one part of the disorder, it’s not like she meant it, she can’t help it 🤷🏽‍♀️😒🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

[@heinz2554]

Obviously u probably been called boring 😂

[@NakyaMami]

She’s so pretty ❤

[@isaackent2355]

4:58 It feels like Tourettes makes you blurt out what you're really thinking

[@emimalloy]

For some people it’s the things they’re afraid of saying. Like “the worst thing I could say to my date is that she’s boring because that’s very offensive” and then that anxiety manifests as a tic saying “you’re boring!”

[@Pottergirl1248]

I have tourettes aswell. I understand the struggle

[@justanobody722]

Sorry if it's offensive. Since the movement and words are involuntary. If someone has those thoughts that shouldn't be said. Do they come out when you don't want you or you can control that. Sorry again

[@ashamachin-hunt6099]

You can’t control your tics (what comes out), people can suppress it as they can usually feel the tic coming on but that’s very hard

[@Pottergirl1248]

@Asha Machin-Hunt cool. You don't have tourettes so you don't understand

[@weirdbutcool78]

What a beautofull person and so ful of postive energy

[@OiamArchives-qc1ev]

She handles herself very well!!! She’s someone who’s learned how to deal with her disorder which probably wasn’t nowhere near easy in the beginning but she seems cool and smart! I’d hang out with her any day and her Tourette’s wouldn’t bother me at all!

[@cdogjboy]

[@amberrodriguez851]

[@mybrokenmindddd]

It took a brain doctor to diagnose me wit Tourette's as soons as I entered the room he said ya this ain't anxiety this is a straight up severe complicated complex case of Tourettes for 10 plus years. I was on undiagnosed by other doctors They told me I was faking in to go home and from there the tics kept coming. The tic attacks kept coming. My dad was stumped and didn't know what to do so I'm very thankful for my brain doctor finally giving us an answer after all these years and after all these doctors denied me. My brain doctor checks on me all the time

[@plan4life]

I still don’t get how this disorder can go undiagnosed. Is it that the doctors don’t know about Tourettes or they can’t recognise a tic when they see one? Even you yourself? Had you never heard of Tourettes before? My son has tics, but has been incorrectly diagnosed with Tourettes. I knew they were tics (hand clapping, hitting his head) but they only happen when he is frustrated or over excited, so definitely not Tourettes.

[@bluelight8664]

@@plan4life yeah i don t understand that either .how come several doctors did not recognize it

[@OiamArchives-qc1ev]

It’s sad you had to endure that. Nowadays it can be quite difficult to diagnose any disorders especially Tourette’s when you have half of this generation faking disorders all the time on TikTok and instagram for views, likes, attention and money 🤷🏽‍♀️ They failed you all those years hopefully you’re doing much better ❤

[@PinkOrchid8]

@celia It sounds like your son might be stimming -which can be part of the symptoms of autism.

[@gamegeekx]

LOL! I feel so awful for laughing. I feel bad for her. Hopefully she can find someone who is willing to support and understand and be patient with her as much as possible.

[@LordBedwetter]

@@Cyn2313 Yeah, I guess it was kind of a creepy thing for me to say. Thing is, I am paralyzed from when I broke my neck seven years ago. I lost my 22 year career because of my injury; I was a Master Sergeant in the US Army. My wife of 20 years recently divorced me. I'm in and out of the hospital all the time because of complications related to my type of paralysis, tetraplegia. I am stuck in this unpleasant situation for the rest of my life, however long that may be. Hopefully short. I used to look at life like there was so much of it that I wanted to experience. I loved life, I was always happy. The military took me all over the world. I met and befriended so many people from so many different cultures. Now, I can't go even one day without nerve pain, bowel issues, and anxiety. I just saw some life, youthfulness, and energy in this young woman is all. I felt like sharing that with her in that moment even though I know that she would probably never see the post anyway. Maybe it was cathartic for me at the time.

Children are surprisingly some of the most understanding of tourettes. Ofc they’re confused at first why you’re saying a ‘bad word’ and they can’t. But once you explain it’s involuntary and you can’t help it because of your condition then they usually get it. It’s adults that don’t.

My thing with Tourette syndrome or any other medical issue is that as long as the person acts are real and not just trying to get attention or some kind of Sorrow. Other than that I can go along with it. It's one thing if we're joking about it but if you say you have like an episode then that's what it needs to be and not about lying about it just so you can get out of a date or whatever it is you're trying to get out of. Just be real
