30 TikTok Screenshots That Left People Questioning Everything (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertThere seems to be no limit to what people are willing to share on the Internet. Past traumas, political views, medical concerns, and personal relationships are just a few things netizens frequently overshare about online. This can surely be a great way to vent out intense emotions and reduce stress. However, some take it to the extreme, posting about things that probably shouldn’t remain forever on the internet.
Those who specifically overshare their unhinged thoughts and experiences on TikTok end up on the ‘Wild TikToks’ X page. Get ready to find some trauma-dumping and oddly specific statements below as you scroll through and be sure to upvote the ones that involuntarily made you raise your eyebrows.
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Nakieta Lankster, who kindly agreed to tell us what effect oversharing online can have on people.

Imagine if lions could talk... "You just killed my husband and my kids and now you want to MARRY me? Jeez, sounds like a sweet deal. What's in it for me?" "Protection." "From whom?" "Heh. From guys like me."

No, it's too simplistic. Yes, the firemen are there to rescue and help. They are not there to apprehend. They may investigate the causes of fire and accidents, but they don't have to catch the people who commit them. They are not there to identify those who have broken laws that affect us. They may comfort victims of accidents or fires. The police have to comfort victims of all crime. Look deeper into difficult situations and you'll understand the best way to resolve problems.0

(2) If a society has repressive or unfair laws, it isn't the fire department which will be enforcing them. (3) One group is taught the choke hold, the other the fireman's carry.

ok there are a lot of interesting discussions with his but can we talk about those bangs
Of course, people also don't argue and yell at the firemen when they show up either, so it's a more chill situation. Well, except for the raging fire, that's not very chill at all.
Did you just call a house fire "a chill situation" to back up your inane claim and make a stupid joke?
Load More Replies...... Because they fight fires. Fires don't talk. Fires don't beat up other fires and blame the other fire. There is no moral ambiguity in fire fighting, it's "your in the wrong place, out you go!"
We’re at the point where every member of our species could have an GREAT life. Food, clean water, electricity, safety. If we cared about this, everyone could have it, we have enough for everyone. But greed and hate - AND ONLY GREED AND HATE - are standing in the way. We could be such a sweet advanced species living our best lives but some people think that’s “stupid” 🙄 so here we are.

Nah. We the lay people, do stuff like vote for a man who’s always had tons of money. And is working with lots of billionaires. And expect him to do things in their best interest. I blame the lay people who fell hook line and sinker for an admitted fraudster.
Load More Replies...Well early on we had trouble just finding enough to eat, and we were on the menu for several other species, so we're doing better.
I sometimes wonder about the mentality of some people. They think the human brain is perfect. They think we are all angels with the ability to behave faultlessly. We are flawed. We are greedy. We are selfish. All of us have negative characteristics to some degree. We are, deep down, animals. We have a reptilian segment of our brains that acts instinctively to keep us alive. Understand human nature and we can make ourselves better. 0
All the result of FREE WILL.... Something too many of us take for granted -- considering the suffering that has resulted.
We need more mothers to give those little dictators and psychopaths a good slap so they grow up as humble persons. And we need to drown more little school yard bullies such as little Putins or little Trumps before they grow up and learn how to manipulate the masses - you can see in Kindergarden who will become a shithead later. People don't really change.
Clinical psychologist Dr. Nakieta Lankster explains that people tend to overshare online because they want to feel connected.
“Sometimes we just don't find that in our daily lives. With work, school, and just surviving, we can feel distant from those in our real lives and the internet gives us a convenient place to get that. Community is a basic human need and we will innately find ways to fellowship with one another, but the faux closeness we experience online can make boundaries blurry,” she says to Bored Panda.
I like my map app. I can have an audio-book playing, and the map app only pauses the book when it has something to say. Like, "You big idiot, you missed the exit. Why do I even?"

If I was a chicken I would be too sleepy to scream. Like I have to be at least 50% awake to use my voice box. I would be a horrible chicken.
"I slept like a baby last night!" "You mean you woke up sobbing every three hours?" "Yeah."
I always thought that was a stupid idiom. Yes, babies look peaceful when they’re sleeping, but it doesn’t last long!
Load More Replies...Sharing our lives online is still a relatively new experience for humans, which we are still trying to navigate, she adds. “Having a peek "behind the veil" of others' personal lives gives us a faux sense of closeness or companionship. As humans are herd animals and social reciprocity is a way of ensuring our place in the herd, we may often feel "safe" or compelled to share our personal experiences as well.”
Lankster notes that there are also those who seek companionship online because they lack or feel isolated from their community in real life and are trying to find ways to supplement it. “Reasons for IRL isolation are both a cause and symptom (cyclic) of our current western societal functions,” she says.
I always think of an eagle cruising winds, right above ocean surface. Works every time!

Couple that with chronic anxiety. All the thoughts in the train are shítty, and it tends to spiral from bad to worse.

Quite often I somehow convince myself there’s something in my room so I have to use my phone flashlight to check 💀. Sort of like I just expect there to be something when I look outside after sunset, and feel scared 💀
Every time I have to cook anything, I’ve started making scrambled egg “cups” (pouring eggs in muffin tins, mixing and baking them with extra veggies or cheese, and then putting the little muffin tin shaped egg cups into a freezer bag). I just have to grab one or two and nuke them and douse them in hot sauce. They’re good in the freezer for at least a week and if I make them every time I have to cook something else anyways, it helps me eat when I’m too lazy to cook and would rather go hungry - I suck at eating lol)
Great idea! I swing from cooking loads and eating well to not bothering at all, all day (thanks depression) so this is such a great tip!
Load More Replies...Pasta, cheese, cream, mushrooms, capsicum and bacon.....mmmm, ready in 15 minutes tops.
It's called a microwave. It cooks things fast (not necessarily well, but fast).
I survive on frozen pepperoni pizza and frozen breakfast sandwiches. I either turn on the oven or microwave, and that's about it! Now excuse me but my pizza is done.
This is mostly a 'young person whose mother did everything for them' problem.
Not necessarily, I do feel like that sometimes and my mother did not cook and did not do everything for me. I left at 14 and took care of myself. Sometimes, you just want something you can just heat up instead of making a new meal, no? It doesn’t mean you’re 36 and your mother still comes over to tell you suppers ready or your clothes are clean. ***ahem my ex***
Load More Replies...The main problem Lankster sees with oversharing or trauma-dumping (unloading traumatic experiences without invitation) on the Internet is that people don’t know who they’re talking to. On top of that, what’s meant for one community can easily spread to others without the person’s consent or desire.
“In our personal lives we know to share only specific information with specific people (you don't tell your supervisor about the boil on your butt), but we can't really control that online. Just as much as there are people who will support us online, there are those to cause us harm and exploit our vulnerabilities. When we overshare or trauma dump, this can serve to further hurt us at our lowest moments,” she says.
I don't care how many times I see this, I still crack up! It's my husband and son in a nutshell!
Mine too, only he becomes a short-tempered little s**t of a frail consumptive Victorian child who’s on his deathbed—-with a headache or a cold. I just shut the bedroom door and leave him to wallow. I check on him periodically to see if he wants anything, but otherwise I refuse to subject myself to his horseshit. Learned that from his mother, who said he’s always been like that when he’s sick. Don’t worry folks, when he’s not sick he’s a good guy. But let him start feeling under the weather, and you better steer clear. TBH, if that’s his only fault, I can live with it. Luckily he doesn’t get sick very often.

Oh men! We women still go to work and take care of our kids, cook carefully…. You turn into a beached whale asking for care.
Did you know that some doctors studied this and a flu does actually give more severe symptoms to biological males.
Nah I know friends who love to read the menu. They usually order the same thing every time but they enjoy perusing 😊 I personally enjoy it too even though I usually try a new dish every time. It’s fun to read a menu, I cannot explain why.
It's all fun and games until you go to a Mexican place and get a 60-page menu!
Load More Replies...No cause I do the same thing 😂 like no one is ever going to read this but I still feel judged. WHY.
The solution to this is to write honestly. Then immediately tear it up into tiny shreds or burn it. It’s the process that helps. No one ever needs to read it again.
Lankster further explains that we are very much tempted to share our traumas and bad past experiences online because that’s how we heal from them—by sharing it with others who help us to mend our wounds. But since the internet community isn’t a close group of people one intimately knows (even though it might look like it), they can take advantage of people’s vulnerabilities, which can make the situation worse.
I had to go check if a store had something the other day. Hands out of my pockets the instant I entered the door. I walked down the aisle, noticed the didn’t have the thing, and then had to walk out feeling awkward about my hands and trying to make them noticeably NOT IN MY POCKETS. Social anxiety is great.
Load More Replies...When I was around 6 or so, me and my mum went to some shops, and we bought some gummies and ate them on the way to another shop. When we entered the shop I tried to get her to hide them so it wouldn’t seem like we were eating stuff before paying for it. It’s amusing to know that I thought like that at 6, so I’ve always had “sOmEtHiNg”
We did the opposite. As kids we pretended to pocket things just to laugh at the salesperson when they told us to empty our pockets and we had taken nothing. He called the cops anyway and it turns out that 'feigning a crime' is a crime in Germany punished with up to three years jail time. But the cop just wanted to scare us, because in Germany the age of criminal responsibility begins at 14 and we were just under that age.
Permanently. Anyway, if someone broke in and OP had to use that mace to stop them and end up killing them, I can only I only imagine the medical examiner’s face when they’re told they deceased was killed by a blow from a mace (tbh, considering those spikes, the damned thing would probably still be stuck in their skull while they’re laying on the table).

I'm not entirely sure but I would back away slowly.
Load More Replies...That’s why it might be a good idea to resist sharing everything about our lives online. The first step towards it is to learn to identify when you might be oversharing. Before posting something online, Lankster urges us to ask ourselves questions like:
- "Would I share this with the cashier at the gas station or a random person I bump into at the gym?"
- "Is this critical information for people to know?"
- "Am I in a space to deal with responses (the comment section, stitches, etc.)?"
Then you get old, finally lose any leftover f***s to give, and no longer give a fat rat’s a*s if someone doesn’t like the way you look. YOU like the way you look, that’s all that matters, so they can just go f**k themselves.
Yeah, as a former pretty girl, now 70 yrs old it is liberating to just be clean and appropriately dressed. No one is looking.
Load More Replies...To be fair, they've gotten a lot better with the dyes. They don't run as much.
I've still managed to make my whites go gray by accidently putting something dark in with my whites.
Load More Replies...I am not careful with colors anymore. Odd that my husband favors pink socks, hmmm.
the only thing i separate is red or pink, but only for the first couple of washings, then everything gets washed together--savage, huh?
My last boss used to sniff, and sigh, then a minute or so later sniff/sigh. I wanted to destroy him with something sharp and pointed, but that would have been naughty, lol, so I had to content myself with a white noise app on my phone. One good way of dealing with the dreaded miso is finding an app that will mimic the sounds that make you so cross that you want to slaughter someone, so the sounds, effectively, cancel each other out. It works.
Load More Replies...This is quite different depending on whether you live in the US or UK
Yes definitely I was thinking why would you do this with a chip? But now I realise she means crisps it makes more sense. Even though I know Americans call crisps, chips and I still didn't twig until till I read your comment.
Load More Replies...I hate loud chewing, so I love that, but I have textural issues and I wanna throw up thinking about how that would feel on my tongue🤮
“The basic thing to keep in mind is that no one is asking you specifically to share this and that you are talking to a stranger. I know we can stitch, reply, and comment, but no one is directly asking for this information from you,” Lankster points out.
Not to my husband. I feel like he just skims over my texts sometimes and only reads the last part lol tbf, he is a chef and isn't really supposed to be on his phone so just checks quick on breaks so I don't blame him.
Load More Replies...Lmao just because I went to school in the same building as someone as a teenager doesn’t mean I give any kind of a shít about them as an adult unless we were friendly 😅
And even if you WERE friendly, that was school, yo! (I'm the same way with coworkers now LOL)
Load More Replies...Me when seeing a substitute teacher at my school : We used to dance together, you were in the jazz class on Tuesday about 24 years ago, your name’s Valerie, right? It always scares them out, yet I cannot help myself and have to do it! I remember them all!
A woman who was in my history class in high school recognized me at work. I had no idea who she was.
That is literally me. some people do recognize me, but a lot don’t… I remember almost everybody even if we never talked.
Load More Replies...Does anyone remember My Immortal (Harry Potter fan fiction? Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way? 😂😂😂😂)
Someone is definitely wearing their rose tinted glasses. A 13 year old girl has nothing but cares in the world.
As a high school teacher, I can tell you that there are no 13 year old girls without a care in the world.
If a person tends to overshare on the Internet, she also recommends exploring their relationship with boundaries and attachment.
“Oversharing online often isn't a singular issue; it's often a reflection of environmental and internal difficulties. Specifically, the desire for connection and/ or difficulties with establishing/ navigating personal boundaries. If the purpose of sharing is to fill a void (i.e. the desire for connection), the individual may determine that their communication is misdirected through introspection.”
Intrusive thoughts = Motörhead, violent thoughts = High On Fire, sad thoughts = Strauss waltzes (It's really hard to be sad listening to the Blue Danube), depressing thoughts = Willie Nelson or Hank Williams, Jr., bat sh!t crazy thoughts = B-52's or Louis Prima.
Black Sabbath and Motorhead records are cheaper than a psychiatrist.
Load More Replies...Music must be so loud that it consumes the entire body and renders the brain unable to brain, but not so loud that it can be harmful (at least for me)
To be fair, I've said that to people I have just met. Sometimes you get an instant impression, based on a few interactions.

Load More Replies...Ah, but you TOLERATED that. That's why he likes you -- you listened to him talk and you didn't say anything meaningful about yourself; you just listened to him.
Instead of spilling too much beans to strangers online, Lankster advises finding connections in real life and nurturing those you already have.
“Also, journaling (which can take many forms, such as personal/privately kept vlogs, making a comic book of your life, and keeping voice notes), therapy, meaning making (giving negative experiences purpose by using them to propel other activities, such as advocacy),” she adds.
I swear social anxiety makes me late...I just don't want to get anywhere early where I might have to chat with people before the thing/work begins.
Bwahahahahhhahahahahahaahahhaha so funny, so f*cing funny?! You’re lying right?!
Load More Replies...if someone looked at me like that i can't help but laugh becouse its such an seriuos face
Lastly, she urges us to be creative. “Make art, garden, sing a song (even if you couldn't carry a note in a bucket), take what's inside of you and put it in this world. There are so many ways to release emotion, to lay your soul bare on your own terms and safely,” she concludes.
I was once told that I have a face for writing books. WTF does that even mean? (Especially as I'm a self-published author now...)
Clearly, you did! I say that kind of stuff… it just means you look like an author. It’s a compliment.
Load More Replies...Just reply, "So, you didn't look in the mirror this morning, did you?" and wink and laugh. Touché.
I feel like she’s doing a sexy but innocent face which really makes me so uncomfortable. Also, the squares in her eyes scare me. I DON’T LIKE THIS PICTURE, IT SCARES ME.
Throw back to that time a hotel receptionist said I look like the fat guy from The Hangover. Note, she didn't say "Zach Galafianakis" - she said "the fat guy from The Hangover."
Some 4th grade (9/10 years old) classmate told my sister that anyone over 50lbs is fat. She's now 40, and still struggles with her body image as the result of that comment.
im so happy i met my husband 10 years ago bc of a simple "u have an extra cigarette" question. the dating scene these days sound sooooooo obnoxious and stressful. ive seen alot of videos where women looking for a man and have expectations that r not realistic at all. all the videos of girls saying they wat a kind and caring guy who will b there for her and not mention looks, height, salary etc makes me thank god bc it means theres still hope for the future. theres not alot but enough to give me a glimpse of hope
Hey. Hey! I know that bear. He stole my girl, she said she felt safer with him around.
I would promptly go out and get a deeper and darker one, not to be shared with mom.
One of my friends just looks at me and makes a weird inhaling noise with his lips pursed, as if he’s sucking through an invisible straw while looking at me like this: “🥺”
Everyone in the family that vapes, makes this crabby claw hand gesture. We all know instantly what they want.
It never happened before, but if it happened it will be on a trip. Same with needing a ball gown.
I wake up when a dream gets interesting because that's what tells me it's a dream.
I have passive aggressive fantasies like things I could do/say to my ex and others that p**s me off.
Please let me know when they get to you. I have a funny feeling that I'm next in line.
