Ticks, habits, things you do without realizing it.

As an example, when I get bored and I'm in a good mood I start to sing, usually to myself and only when I'm alone, but it's something I just noticed a couple days ago.

You guys?
 
When I'm sat still for a long time I sometimes start tapping songs with my feet. I make the beat with my left foot and the melody with my right foot.
 
A few of my habits:

1. Sometimes when I get a really nice compliment from someone online, I'll get fluttered and walk away from my computer somewhere random around the house and do something.

2. If I feel I'm standing awkwardly in a public place I'll pretend to itch my chin or neck.

3. Leaving my clothes on the floor instead of throwing them in the basket. I get so tired at night I just forget.
 
Whenever my roommate and I do something together, I have to be to the right of him and he has to be to my left. We went years without noticing this until our mutual friend pointed it out.
 
Whenever I get stressed or really have to concentrate I lick the left (and only the left) side of my mouth.

I do this too! Even when it's just someone who I really like talking to and they talk to me, I'll get so happy and I'll usually get up and start smiling and pace around a bit.

I also tend to play with my hair when I don't have anything else to do with my hands so by the end of the day it probably usually looks sort of messy, and in the rare instances when I actually wear glasses I always try to push them up with my fingers even when they're already on.

I have to flip my hair sevearl times before I put my hair up in a pony tail.
I can do it sevearl times before I feel I get it just right.
I've been asked when I'm head bagning many times while doing this.

My cat has this spot of different colored fur on her forehead, and I have to kiss my thumb and then touch that spot everytime I pet her.
 
I hate when things aren't balanced color wise. Wether i'm making a pokemon team or deciding what villagers I want I hate if it doesn't stick to overall balance or one color scheme.
 
When watching something I repetitively twitch my left eye to the point its muscle aches >< I also pop my jaw but only when I feel the need to so I don't really think that's a tick.
 
When I'm in an intense pokemon battle, I'll start pulling on my hair or brushing my fingers through my hair.

After spending a ton of time online, I'll go downstairs and wander around each room then go back and sit down.

Yuh, kinda like me. I arrange my pokemon in genders so male on one side and female on the other.
 
I flex my feet a lot. Mainly when I'm sitting down. And if I have to sit still, my feel will always feel the urge to move.
 
Yeah, I can start mimicking to songs when I'm on my mp3player or listening at my computer or whatever. I can't sing at all mind you.

Also scratching myself on my back or belly when I'm bored or focused
 
By "ticks", are you talking about this? If so, then I crack my knuckles, I sometimes blink my eyes really hard and I occasionally roll my eyes balls.
 
I stick my tongue out slightly when I concentrate. I don't even know when I'm doing it until someone points it out to me.
