the vague soul

When I was around ten years old I began to twitch my nose. I scrunch it up and this has caused a slight crease on my nose like a folded and then unfolded piece of paper. Sometimes after 'twitching' my nose I then feel the need to try to 'stretch' it out by using different muscles of my face to make it feel 'normal' again.
I almost can't help but to twitch my nose. With some effort I can resist the urge. When somebody draws attention to it I feel a stronger urge to do it.
I do exactly the same. I never got diagnosed for anything but who knows maybe I have it or maybe I do not.
Dayum, this is way more common than I imagined.

I suppose I should point out that there is also another name for essentially the same condition; Motor Tic Syndrome. For it to be Tourette's there has to be one vocal tic of any kind; mine is this weird reverse-squeeking noise in my throat, and it's reeeeally unusual that it ever comes around.
Really though, I'd just save the extra syllables and call it Tourette's.
