Some of this shit is learned by watching "influencers". There were stories about this impacting young normal women a few years ago because they watched a popular streamer that had ticks. They just started acting like her even though they did not have a disorder.
I am willing to bet a lot of it is because of this. They were not around their peers in person and were doom scrolling tiktok and YouTube for 2 years. That is enough brain rot for a lifetime.
