I used to have a lot of 'ticks' caused by OCD...nothing terribly serious...but just things that generally annoy people. Like when I'm typing on a keyboard...even if I'm trying to think of something to type I'll tap on the keys. I used to to tap pretty much on anything. I didn't know I was doing it until a girl I really like got really angry. I laughed at her and told her 'If you don't lke it, bring a knife to school and cut my fingers off.'
I'm pretty good at controlling it now.
I also used to clear my throat all the time. Which I didn't know until some girl got all pissy. Ican't really help that...it's caused by my chronic bronchitis...but I can definately see how it is annoying.
I stutter a little bit and mumble a bit. Not because I have adisorder, but because my brain works faster than my mouth can respond.
I used tohave mental anxieties. Suchas sometimes if I hear about a new disease or illness andstart thinking about it at first I'll be like 'Oh****, I might have that'. Even though subconciously I know I don't, but the more I think about it the more any normal thing could turn into symptom.
I also have very sensitive skin and eczema on my hands and feet. This makes it so I can't shower every day. I have to wait 2-3 days between showers. Most people would assume I'm dirty because of it, even though I'm very cleen.
There are a lot of other things, like I'm pretty sure I have a mild case of multiple personalities, and sometimes I'll open my eyes and everything will look red which is really trippy. Most, I can handle now, others are beyond my control. And because of this I told myself I wouldn't start dating again until I can at least control most of these things...the annoying ones at least.
And now that I do have control over most of these things I have no desire to date. I'm happiest when I'm alone.
