By Felo News Desk · Published
A TikTok creator known as @whatifimjustagirl has attracted viral attention for spending two hours each night jumping on a trampoline, a habit she says she has kept for seven years. Mashable reports the routine typically occurs between midnight and 3 a.m., and the creator explains she looks forward to it daily.
What happened
According to Mashable, the creator began the nightly trampoline sessions seven years ago and has maintained the practice almost every night since. She usually dresses in leggings or a flannel for colder nights and wears headphones while bouncing. The videos, posted on TikTok, show her jumping outdoors in the dark, often between midnight and 3 a.m.
What the reports add
Mashable notes that the creator’s habit is not framed as a fitness challenge or sleep‑optimisation technique; she simply enjoys the activity. The outlet also highlights that some commenters have speculated about the creator’s mental health, prompting her to address assumptions about autism and to disclose that she has obsessive‑compulsive disorder (OCD), which she says influences but does not cause the habit.
What was said
In a recent TikTok video, the creator said, “I look forward to it every single day.” She added, “I’m a girl who’s addicted to the trampoline,” and later clarified, “I have a lot of people assume I have autism, and I do not.” Regarding OCD, she told viewers, “Yes, is my obsession with the trampoline a little extreme? Yes. Does my OCD play a factor in that? Yes, but that’s not why I jump.”
How it came about
The creator’s routine emerged years ago and has persisted without a clear external trigger, according to the Mashable piece. She attributes the habit to personal enjoyment rather than any therapeutic or performance goal. The viral spread of her videos has sparked broader conversation about unconventional hobbies and the ways mental‑health labels are applied online.
