I personally don't have blinking or thorat clearing tics mine are more convulsing bad physically twitching if that makes sense but I get this because my head will be jerking or nodding softly sometimes and I won't notice

I completely get this. I never notice when i start clearing my throat. Its usually after several times that i catch myself doing it

Yes, I totally get that!! I also have trouble sometimes telling if I’m stimming or ticking, especially when a new tic is cycling in. 😓

I completely get it. Im not so sure if i have Tourettes syndrome but i do tic(by throwing my head back i think it’s called neck jerks??) but sometimes i have this feeling like a shiver on my neck/spine that runs down my shoulder like im gonna tic. Im so unsure why this happens and i read it can be a lot of reasons but i just call them tics. But you are not alone by having that feeling.

I've never had someone put it into words that I can understand before. Yes absolutely! And even then when I do realize I'm ticking, sometimes I feel it's better to let it be. It bugs me to much when others need to knit pick every single move I make as a tic even if it is or isnt
