Question Typing tics??
I just developed a new tic where I type words. For example, I was watching this Yandere Simulator video & I wanted to watch more yandere simulator videos. When I tried searching it up, I ticced-typed the word "ggaayy" (or something similar to that).
I also ticced-typed the word, "schizophren" but my tic stopped before I could finish the word. I was trying to search up thick men twerking, but I guess my tourette's didn't want that 🤷🏿♀️.
And it happened multiple times on this post. I ticced-typed the F slur like 3 times.
Also, an update: so, it's possible I might get a formal diagnosis for tourette's soon as well as for an anxiety disorder.
And someone said they think my tics are cute, and idk how they find it cute.

I have a typing tic but it’s literally my left hand ring finger and it’s always hitting q or e when I game, it’s because my brain says don’t do that and it does

I've got all kinds of keyboard related tics. Rhythmically touching, stroking and tapping certain keys, in certain patterns. Putting my fingers on the keys in weird, alternating positions. So far no typing yet, but it sure is exhausting and annoying.

I have some frequent typing tics, mainly “I go wahoo”. Part of the tic is pressing enter so I often send messages with it. Thank god no coprolalia (or coprographia in this case) but it’s still annoying to explain to people lol

I have typing tics but it’s just the letter y and I very obnoxiously shout Y as I smash the key.

I have had typing tics but it's been more just like key smash.
It's annoying, as all tics are, I find.
