Transcript

I'm sitting here scrolling on TikTok and I notice that I get tagged in a video and I'm actually in it. It's like the DC superhero trend and I'm like the Green Lantern. I'm at the very end. Has like 44,000 likes. I didn't even know it was a trend and I didn't even make the video. I thought it was a cool video, I checked the comments. I'm just getting made fun of for how I look. Literally all these comments, like a thousand of them at least. Just saying how I look unnatural and all this. I look like too good. What did I do? At this point, it's not even jealousy, it's pure envy in these comments. People hate me for how I look. Like what? I look like what?
