Imagine you’re a teenage girl. You’re young, so you haven’t had any time to develop interesting hobbies. You shop at the same stores your friends shop at. You read the same books, watch the same movies. You’re basically a clone of your peers.
At the same time, you live in a society that encourages getting “likes” and attention from thousands of people online. But frankly, you’re a boring person.
So how do you differentiate yourself? You pretend to have quirky tics! Or OCD. That’s quirky too. Or ADHD - plenty of people ready to give you sympathy (and views) for that one. You stay away from schizophrenia though, that’s too dark and will lower engagement.
