Or is it just me
yes, but also this is the first time ever I've read "dae" and understood what it meant
I usually say something random out loud or sing or make some noise, almost involuntarily, when some embarrassing memory pops up. Almost like some involuntary defense mechanism my brain distracting itself.
I have this one too. Usually it's a swear word or a word from somewhere else in the thought stream before it blew up.
word from somewhere else in the thought stream
yeah it's often exactly that for me, this thread is kinda weird because I never thought to talk about this specific phenomenon with anybody lol
Neither did I tbh. I figured it happened to other people but I don't generally talk about it in person. I'm glad my description resonated with you - it's a weird quirk that I actually feel gives a bit of insight into how my train of thought works.
Yesssss all the time. Sometimes if I’m not wary of it I fully jerk my head down/to one side, it’s crazy. I don’t have any other tics that I’m aware of that manifest audibly/visibly
Yeah definitely. Or try to make a sound or curse to get it out of my head.
yeah, also sometimes verbalize insults. i don't think it's the same thing as tourette's tho. i've just gotten a lot worse at managing myself in the past few years
I don't do the physical thing so much but more and more I get the unwanted talking these days and it's awful, insults sometimes but more just mumbling "[my name] killed themself last night" or variations
Same. The weird thing for me is I don't even experience suicidal feelings anymore, it's just reflexive or something
I usually roll my eyes at myself these days and say something like "Damn you edgy brain". It helps me to distance myself from the thoughts and not feel shame for them.
I know a guy who does this. I've started making a click sound every time I notice it to see if I can condition him.
