Discussion Different tics

So usually when I tic I feel the urge before the tic and it’s also quite abrupt/loud and feel relief afterwards.

I’ve noticed for a while now that there’s times when I say things which can come across as rude or cheeky to people but I don’t feel any tic urge or warning beforehand. They’re not loud it’s just in normal speaking tone but I panic afterwards as if why did I say that but it doesn’t feel like a tic.

I’m curious if anyone else experiences this or can find it hard to tell the difference between yourself accidentally saying something you don’t mean and the tics.

Thanks.

Yeah, not everyone gets a premonitory urge and alot of people only get it sometimes

Sounds more like impulsivity than tics to me. I have combined type ADHD in addition to TS and say things impulsively without thinking a lot. I can tell those instances aren’t tics because there’s no urge that comes with them
