    I can't imagine it going any good loool

    The alien talk on TikTock was enough to make me sleep with the light on and pester my friend about how scared I was hahaha. I don't know a lot about horror games but I am familiar with the slender mand game and Five nights at Freddy's.

    I wouldn’t say horror is bad necessarily, some people find it affects them more than others. It really scares some people but others aren’t affected at all because maybe some people can reason with themselves in their own head “this is all totally fictional and nothing can actually happen to me”. 

    TikTok is very competitive, and a lot of people find the mental health side of it very damaging because people do make very distressing videos. Perhaps because they’re desperate for help, or because it makes those people feel like their struggles are more valid because of the reaction they get from the videos. 
    “Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to, it’s not for them.”
