as someone who struggled with OCD, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks and more.

I’ve had to accept that some people CAN’T grasp what these are.

i don’t mean to say I’m smart. but i think some people are too dumb to understand.

we don’t realize it but I think we are all experiencing consciousness differently. and thoughts aren’t the same in everyone‘s brain

bipolar disorder, borderline, ocd. we don’t realize these are complex ideas for some people

some people don’t have an internal monologue. some people confuse desires with thoughts that pop up

I’ve been through rounds and rounds of explaining to someone. and then I reach the realization.

some people don’t have brains that can understand it. I’d imagine internally it’s all the same in their brain

I’m curious why there’s absolutely zero fraternities that do the “TikTok Rush Dance” videos that every sorority does every year

ive been a ”rushtok“ watcher for a few years

obviously dancing on TikTok doesn’t seem like ‘boy thing’

but you'd think there’d be one fraternity out of all of American fraternities. ”what if we did a fun TikTok too?”

why don’t fraternities do themes too? why don’t they have these fun outfits too? You’d think one group of boys would do it but no

none. zero. no boys at all on TikTok dancing. not even for a laugh or joke

why is that? Why is it only girls on “rush tok”?

edit: sorry I just asked another Greek life question. But I had this follow up question
