TikTok has become the latest social media platform where users share their life stories… and often overshare personal information. 

While scrolling through TikTok these days, it's surprising how much information people will reveal about themselves for free, with no other incentive than the attention of their peers. Technically, if their video gains a large amount of views, they might get paid. But for many TikTokers, spilling the beans about their latest dating drama, family gossip, or friendship disputes allows anyone to peer into their lives, and they won't make a penny from it. Instead of keeping secrets closely guarded, lots of folks will zealously overshare. You can easily know what mental illnesses someone has, discover detailed information about their fights with their mom, or even know when and why they and their GF have suddenly broken up. People share detailed videos about topics like these and other personal things. For example, the whole "candy salad trauma-dumping" trend leaves me aghast every time I see these videos! Sharing your deepest darkest secrets for internet clout is just par for the course for some people. 

This person realized that her sister has been sharing family secrets on Tiktok, and she's rightfully infuriated about it. Keep scrolling to read the full story, as well as the suggestions from helpful commenters. 

Next, this retail worker refused to buy a single present for her entitled sister, telling her that she has "No respect for the retail worker."

    My (20f) sister (24f) has gotten "tiktok famous." She has over 300k followers and has made an obscene amount of money over the past few months. she initially gained traction by telling a personal story about herself but she has moved onto telling stories from our traumatic childhood & about our estranged

    parent. She has me blocked on everything but i often help her with videos and it's usually the main topic of our conversations. I am supportive of her and her account, however I am not active on any social media and prioritize my privacy. I've done one video with her that ended up going viral and i've chosen not to be in any more, we have had many conversations on how she should protect the privacy of our family.

    I recently found out she told a story about something I told her in private, this video got over 1 million views. I was extremely upset when i found out, i have made it clear that i don't want any presence on the internet like this and she went behind my back to post it. She justified it, saying that by me talking to her

    about my experience, that she has the right to make tiktoks about it bc now she's "involved". She ended up apologizing for this and gave me a cut of the earnings to let her keep it up.

    Now, a few weeks later, i have found out she told a personal story about mental health issues i had as a child. This time she kept it anonymous by not saying my name, however everybody is able to tell that it's about me. On one hand i understand that she has the right to talk about growing up with a mentally ill sibling, it wasn't easy for any of us. But the

    video she made wasn't focused on her experience growing up with me, it was focused on speculating what kind of mental disorders she thinks i have, basically stating that i have. DMDD and Autism (I have never been diagnosed with either of these) She is encouraging everybody in the comments to guess what could be wrong with

    me as well. I have changed A LOT since then and now i feel so betrayed and angry about what she said about me. Especially since i have been supportive about her new career this whole time.

    I am furious about this situation but she doesn't know i have seen the video yet. I am tempted to report her channel and get it taken down without having to confront her about it. WIBTAH for doing this?

    EyeOfSibyl NTA, in fact I encourage it. She intentionally dismissed your privacy for the sake of TikTok clout. Anyone who can think logically knows she's a scummy attention- seeker. I would do much worse than have her account removed.

    Popular_Error3... Nta. The lure of fame has made some people insufferable. She doesn't deserve her fame at your expense.

    VoidUnknown315 NTA in my opinion. You have a right to privacy and she should respect the fact that you do not want her to speak about your personal issues online.

    [deleted] NTA Anything she posts she must understand and expect that her friends, family, and their loved ones will be seeing the videos and know who she's referring to. If she's not thinking about this, she's in denial, hard.

    She must understand, that if she uses anything told to her in private as hers to share, people will not be sharing anything in private to her anymore that they don't want to be published to millions to see.

    She will end up lonely or with fake friends, which is the same. She will make money now, but will run out of stories to make. After the fame, she will have ruined her relationships.

    Tell her this, and that you are hurt by her videos. And that you will no longer share your life with hers because she doesn't respect boundaries. Many famous people do, because it's the one thing they can have for themselves and not shared by the public.

    ApplicationLow3529 OP This! She has spoken to our mom and gotten her "blessing" to talk about our messed up childhood and stuff my mom has done. But that does not speak for ME! We have had many in depth conversations about how uncomfortable i feel being online & how i need privacy. For her to make a video secretly the first time was bad, but to do it again about something so personal is abhorrent. My sister and I are extremely close but this is a huge betrayal and honestly i want nothing to do w

    mehlol42 NTA. Report her and cut off all contact. Maybe contact a lawyer about defamation and send her a cease and desist if the lawyer thinks it's appropriate.

    [deleted] NTA, But I'm not sure what you expect to happen. You can report it if you want to of course, but there's no guarantee that the channel will be taken down. In fact I'd venture to guess that half the TikTok channels have fake and/or embellished stories and to my knowledge there's no rule against that.
