So I don't have natural tics but I sometimes will twitch my head or arms because it feels good and helps me take stress better but my parents think its weird because I don't have the kind of tics where you can't control it. does anyone else have something similar?
I don't have involuntary tics either.
I have some actions (rubbing or tapping my ears) leftover from childhood, that I do either:
1) only when I'm particularly tired or ...
2) when I'm stressed.
On either occasion these small actions are soothing / comforting things that I have complete control over. They also have the practical benefit of blocking out most noises.
