Everyone notices your feet tapping when you're anxious minutes before you do.

The arm scratch you do when you're thinking. We noticed.

You make a weird face when you're formulated your words to speak.

You smell bad but not quite enough to be worth mentioning

For everyone out there who's now afraid to leave the house: noticing tics does not mean caring or even paying attention to them. Yeah, that guy's foot is tapping, he's probably nervous, glad it's not me, what's for lunch? Even you see other people's tics and dismiss them because they're part of being human. Meanwhile you beat yourself up for your own.

Remember the Reverse Golden Rule: Be as kind and forgiving to yourself as you would to a friend, or at least as kind as you would be to a total stranger.

Yeah, nobody says anything because they don't care
