“The most common way that people react is they laugh because they think I’m trying to be funny… and I’m always left incredibly offended by that.”

“It’s very, very interesting, and I am incredibly confused by it,” she explained. “I don’t get it.”
Interestingly, the 20-year-old said that she doesn’t usually get tics while performing or moving around.
“These are things you would never notice if you’re just having a conversation with me,” she said. “But for me, they’re very exhausting.”
