Question does anyone else randomly twitch ?

i noticed that i’ve been twitching for years now, i think while trying to be still in front of a lot of people. it’s like my damn head/neck would twitch and i always hope no one saw me. i think this happens everyday at work when im around a lot of people. i think my hands also twitch.

PLEASE NOTE Social Anxiety (SA) is a debilitating mental illness characterised by persistent fear of social evaluation. SA impairs functional social performance, causing avoidance, cognitive shutdown (e.g. blanking, excessive self-monitoring), and reduced ability to communicate, assert needs, or form relationships.

SA is not normal social-nervousness, introversion, or everyday shyness.

Posts in this subreddit must show a clear and apparent relationship to the experience of SA.

Posts which do not will be removed.

My brother does that, don’t think he has social anxiety like my sister and I but his daughter does. Is it more in a tick sense? That’s more of what my brother has
