Tik Tok has ruined my family
I hate how the world has become one big popularity contest now. I used to get bullied at school and when i was home my mom and stepdad used to scold me for playing pokemon or watching anime because “i cant make money playing video games”. Mind you these same people used to get me picked on from the small group of friends i did have because i didn’t have cable or internet so we were always bored when they came over (obviously i learned they were never really my friends later). But wouldn’t get it because they said we needed to focus on school not “rot our brains” with media crap while they sat in their room with a giant tv and 4k blue-ray player.
NOW? They love telling me “oh?, why aren’t you famous yet? You could’ve been playing those games the whole time? PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID NOW YOU KNOW?” Yea no shit. Thanks for never believing in me. They even went out their way to get rid of all my old games and cards because it was “just sitting there” after i left when i was 16. Couldn’t take everything with me but they sure made sure that got sold off. The point im making now is my WHOLE FAMILY IS ON TIK TOK and everyone wants to be content creators. Its all about who has the most followers in our family because they think im weird and a loser because i lost the urge to even talk to people through years of depression.
Now my moms brain is so fried she literally is on the app all day non stop trying to go viral at 58 twerking and dancing like some moron and its embarrassing. She literally will sit in the car for HOURS just being on tik tok. It made her even more immature and ignorant because she really thinks she is like Cardi B and worships her. Its almost hilarious but super depressing because she literally only cares about herself. She deadass thought a zombie apocalypse was real because a tik tok she seen. We had a fullblown argument because im literally explaining to her its the behind the scenes of train to bussan. She kicked me out. Over a fucking tik tok. Idk sorry for the long post just needed to vent tbh
