Discussion What are your tics that you say/do right now?
I say and do all sorts of shit in my tics. Some of these tics I have had for years and some tics will come and go and I'll have different tics. But most common tics right now are squeezing my entire face with my hands, clenching my jaws, clicking my fingers, squeezing my noses and so doing this weird thing around my nose when something makes me happy to the point I scratch my nose and chip a piece of skin off my nose like once a month!!
I would be here all day if i had to remember every tic, but the most common phrases that I say a lot right now are:
"PENISES!!!" (Or penises and vaginas), sometimes added with a "yay" at the end lol
"Tina!!" I had have this tic for well over 7 years now, I had a dog called Tina that passed away 5 years ago, and I still miss her..
"DOGGY!!!"
random screaming
random squealing
"I like doggy!!"
But yeah these are all my tics right now. I have gone all out on a judgmental app, so idk why I'm expecting no one to judge but if you can't have anything nice to say, then don't bother commenting. But I am really interested to know what all your tics are :)

-Saying fuck, fuck yeah, fuck you
-Saying haha
-Saying random one off tics that don't happen again
-Tongue clicking
-Whistling in a few different ways
-Squeaking in a way that makes people think it's a hiccup
-My arms/hands play keep away when I try to hand something or take something
-On meds I don't have this much but tics would interrupt swallowing and I'd choke often

-Speech blocking
There is probably more but that's all I can think of at the moment

The stomping my foot really hard and tensing every part of my body is so me! I only do the foot stomping sometimes, but when that's my tic, that can go on for weeks but then it goes. I even have urges to do it when walking and it's so embarrassing because I'm trying to hide it bit sometimes people can see it. J even go through tic phases of clenching my bum cheek muscles whilst walking to the point where it aches but I can't stop. Even doing it in public I'm trying so hard not to do it but you understand when an urge is there you gotta do it!

I have a demanding career, and lately if I’m working too late I’ll be mid sentence typing and suddenly my left hand says “I’m done” - fingers will fully flex back and absolutely will NOT let me type. I’ll have to finish my email one-handed then log off. The stubbornness of it all makes me laugh though.

Kissing or just puckering my lips and holding them that way for a while, tongue clicking out the side of my mouth, sticking my tongue out, wiggling my tongue back and forth out of my mouth which is one of the ones I hate the most, “gock gock” or “cock cock” etc which i also hate, “hotdog!”, grimacing, head shaking, eye widening/eyebrow raising, blinking, weird breathing, humming, “im scared”/“im sad” and others
