Verbal Tics - Tumblr Posts

Why does someone else ticking cause me to tic more? Or even just by thinking about ticking I end up ticking more, wtf is up with that shit???

i think i forget sometimes that not everyone tics. not everyone even knows what tics are or that you can’t always suppress/mask them.

i’ve been having a huge spike of them recently (probably due to graduation being around the corner) and i’m constantly making grunts and noises. they are annoying, they do hurt my throat, i do get stuck doing them until they ‘feel right’ and finally i’m set free of a loop.

but the child i’m babysitting and my brother asked why i keep making noises. i hadn’t realized i must’ve been making them. but i got flustered; how do i describe to these kids the concept of nearly not being able to control your own body sometimes? being stuck repeating the same tic until your brain thinks it’s okay to stop?

* i’d qualify for provisional tic disorder, but i’ve never been diagnosed bc it wasn’t ‘impeding my life.’ my pediatrician actually told us that if they get worse to tell her/get help on it. i was meant to get diagnosed for it bc it was bothering me but yk lol

Help me re-write correctly

So, My GF and I seemed to have accidentally given a Character Ticks and we didnt notice, now, before we put him in a Book, so Everybody who has Ticks, Can You Tell me what i should avoid while Writing and What i should definitly Include, etc.?

(I didnt want to rely on Google Research alone and thought asking People would probably be the best)

one thing about having tics in nyc is that no one cares At All

its very freeing to me, in a way. there’s still that little bit of fear that i’ll get misunderstood or hurt in some way, but people here really have other things to worry about and my tics on the subway are not nearly the strangest thing theyve seen in the last 20 minutes

especially when i’m with friends in public too, they never react to my tics anymore so everyone who does notice is just like “oh okay theyre fine” and move on with their day

way better than back in the suburbs where one singular strange thing will have you being stared at until you leave

When you're nervous about ticcing in public but being nervous makes your tics worse so you tic more which makes you more nervous and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
