tic disorders are so Fun bc they are So comorbid with like. autism and ocd. and they are So fucking transmissible. watching YT vids with a guy who happens to have an eye blink tic and Whoops! picked it right up. and so the whole comorbid thing it’s like a petri dish of “Oh so you’re faking all this shit for attention then? you see someone else do it you do it?? bitch???” intrusive thoughts. and tics are different from compulsions but the stress of intrusive thoughts can also make tics worse which turns the whole thing into a perpetual motion machine. and so i get to chase that tail all over again now and i’m also stuck blinking a weird new way i wasn’t doing last week. gotta love it!!

#N posts stuff #really i’ve picked up a lot of facial tics over the years #i started with a neck jerk tic and that carrried us all by itself for a while #but then i’ve also picked up ‘weird face scrunch’ ‘weird tongue click’ and now ‘weird eye blink’#the face scrunch gets bad enough sometimes it’d also be a wink but now it’s blink both eyes time i guess #not all from like. seeing other people with those tics some of them just kind of spring up from nowhere #i’ve dropped a bunch of tics over the years too tho. when things got bad in high school #i had like a stint with a whole arm tic — like my arm would jerk up by my head #which also paired with a kind of. sneezy noise i would do? so i got a lot of awkward ‘bless you?’s #but i dropped the sneezy noise at some point and the arm tic mellowed out into ‘weird wrist flick’#but yeah it’s an absolute breeding ground for ‘oh so you’re a faker and a liar huh asshole?’ thoughts. sad!#and we can point at the ‘hey we Have a paper diagnosis brother’ thing all day but believe it or not. intrusive thoughts don’t give a shit :/#guy notorious for being a dogshit liar: man. i can’t believe im so good at lying i even fooled myself all these years #<- guy definitely not fooling itself/anyone else into anything
