Living with Williams Syndrome (A Condition that Makes You Friendly)

[@B_Bodziak]

Kids seem able to pick up on anyone that is different from them, and unfortunately and while they may think they do, most parents don't actually teach their children to appreciate all of our differences, especially when it comes to personality. I believe some parents think that it's enough to teach their children not to bully others with a disability that everyone can see, but they never go past that.

[@vikimurajdova6373]

[@alexism9656]

I can think of 2 reasons she got bullied. Her looks and because she's nice. It's pretty obvious that she looks different and sometimes that's all it takes to bully. As for being too nice, that's also pretty common. I am pretty good looking and I always tried to not bother anyone as a kid. But I still got bullied. I quickly learned that being too nice means people want to take advantage of that and sometimes that means letting their anger out by bullying an easy target.

It has been said that pan paniscus (bonobo: playful prosociality/sociosexuality for promotion of group stability regardless of age and gender) also has similar variant of domestication syndrome to Williams syndrome which causes them to be slightly more emphathethic and tolerant compared to humans and pan troglodytes (chimpanzees: described as more despotic and more interested in proactive political games over status and fertile females) which are said to be more prone to proactive aggression. Obedience to abstract laws and authorities in general population due to self-domestication syndrome according to the Goodness Paradox is another factor for humans.

@Ed dude being an empath myself, we have the ability to sense what others are feeling, some take in that feeling as if it's their own. When watching a show or movie you're invested in, say for instance extreme home make over, the reveal when the people break down in tears of joy when seeing their new home that they desperately needed. if you felt their joy and teared up yourself. Or you could be watching it just like...ehh, they got a new house, big deal. Or listening to someone talk at a funeral about someone you didn't even know, but you still teared up because you felt their emotions so strongly.

[@minutemansam1214]

[@TheLegendofphantom]

He speaks with what I would call "positive-leaning neutral tone." It's the *exact* way I speak to children. The younger the kid, the more exaggerated the tone. It's actually very similar to how children themselves talk, so they respond quite well to it (they might even mistake you for one of them momentarily lol). Though, it certainly has the drawback of not appearing genuine over a large sample size. To speak on what someone else said: He could really spice it up with a bit more charisma (Anthony Padilla tends to nail this, but Anthony & Chris are a bit apples & oranges), however, I think he may be trying to be consistent across all his videos (i.e. not showing more love to someone over another), bc that could be detrimental to his image, brand, channel, and overall mission/goal of his work. The problem with that, as someone who is charismatic and able to see/dissect his "speech craft," is that it can be a little off putting depending on who he's talking with. I think he may have intentionally hit her with the "are you happy we're friends" stuff bc he probably picked up that she likes him (it seemed obvious to me) and didn't want to set any expectations beyond the original intent of the interview. I can sit here all day and come up with reasons to justify the way he speaks, and reasons to criticize it. But even the times when he comes off to me as not being completely genuine, I just remember what I'm watching... And ultimately, it doesn't matter if he is genuine or not, or if his intent is altruistic or not, bc his channel is making the world a better place, and allowing people we didn't even know existed to feel heard & accepted from a community of open-minded, compassionate people... and you can't put a price on that.

[@tundra5171]

@@foofookachoo1136 Really? He sounds like a very talented speaker. I've also learned a lot from the way he pronounces and enunciates words. He talks in an almost exaggeratedly friendly manner, but this is primarily to disarm and relax the speaker, who naturally feels more comfortable revealing things when they're not threatened or intimidated. If he sounds irritating or gets on your nerves, then it's your issue... Also lol at the people saying he is speaking like as if to a 3 year old. Y'all don't get it bro.

The first time I heard about Williams Syndrome was in an article I recently read about dogs. In the article it said that dogs had the same mutation that causes Williams Syndrome and it is this mutation that makes them so able to be loving and happy.

My sister has this condition and she is a 33 year old woman. Let me tell you; growing up, I didn’t think anything about it really; she was just my sister to me and I didn’t see anything abnormal about her. I later realized exactly how special she is. Like I regularly think about the fact that she, others of her kind, and literally all people with disabilities REALLY are angels on this earth among us. I believe that WE “normal” folks are in fact the “disabled” people here. My sister is the sweetest heart I will ever know. She has this solid desire to meet and talk to people, and she is NOT shy about it. I grew up with a hardened heart, hearing about her getting bullied and made fun of in school every single day just about, wanting to protect her. Even today, she runs into people that she genuinely just wants to talk to and is treated like she’s a nuisance. People don’t understand how much it crushes her soul. Like, she cares about YOUR problems more than YOU even care about them; she carries your burdens around as if they are her very own. This sweet young lady in the video is a near duplicate of my sister’s character and qualities almost exactly, and I have to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to shed some light on this precious soul; I know that it also means so much to her! Thank you.

This is not a disability. Everyone who DOESN'T have williams syndrome has the disability. She is an angel.

[@ganondorfchampin]

It's a disability. It's not just a cognitive difference, it's a very specific genetic disorder with a wide range of symptoms. These include physical defects that directly shorten life-expectancy. Also, while people with Williams Syndrome are friendly and verbal, they have deficits in spatial and social intelligence - which is why she didn't realize hugging strangers isn't okay. At the end of the day it's a mixed bag, but with some very clearly disabling aspects. What needs to be remembered though is that disability is not a dirty word.

William's Syndrome is still a disability. It doesn't just cause the increase in empathy - it also leads to emotional outbursts, an increase in impulsivity that puts them at risk, a variety of cognitive and motor function difficulties and a shorter lifespan. Those with William's can live full, happy lives, but claiming that the world would be better if everyone had these conditions only hurts disabled people in the long run, as it doesn't acknowledge the parts of the disorders that negatively affect them.

[@xanderunderwoods3363]

"I can feel what you feel" I think she has a super power. She definitley does. Williams syndrom is most definitely a supernatural power. 💛

[@ka-im5nd]

No, it's a disability. As she said in the video, she's "an adult with a disability". It does have some positive impacts, like an increase in affection and empathy, but it also causes a number of problems. It causes increases in impulsivity that can put them in danger, it causes emotional outbursts, it reduces your lifespan, it leads to cognitive and motor difficulties, as well as increased anxiety and depression. William's Syndrome's impact on affection specifically can be a very positive thing, but portraying disabilities as purely positive or as "superpowers" damages disabled people, because it means people are less likely to acknowledge the negative impacts that the disabilities have. I'm not saying this out of anger for you or anyone who talks like this, but calling any disability a superpower is harmful to those who live with those conditions.
