Do you have any weird "ticks?"

I scratch my hands, mostly when I get intrusive thoughts, also I just like the feel of digging my nails into something.

I play with my earlobe piercing when I'm bored or nervous (it's a triforce, I'm lame)

I crack my knuckles a lot too
 
I always lightly shake my leg. Its a tension thing probably.
I often when feeling tense (pretty much always lol) sit leaning forward, according to a specialist it helps me stay away from emotion and in cognitive mode.
I always stand locked (with my legs slightly pushed back so you "lock" at your knees.
I often softly move my hand over my few-day-beard. It must look like it itches, but it just calms me I guess.
 
I have a couple actually because I can never seem to be still.
One of them is that I'll absent-mindedly scratch my head and play with my hair. I do it often whether I'm on my phone, reading a book or playing a game. So I guess I mostly do it when I'm relaxed.
I pick and bite my nails when I'm nervous, it's a horrible habit and I just started wearing fake nails in order to stop. They taste bad.
And the last thing I do that I barley notice is my left eye, which twitches when I dislike or disagree with something. I can't really control it.
I have some others, but I think those are the ones people notice the most.

Pull hair, bite nails, rub face.
You know, excessive grooming to the point where I look much worse. <:
 
Whenever a room is really quite especially in school, I tap my foot very lightly, just enough so I can hear it, to a song I have stuck in my head because the quite bothers me.
 
I really really hate when I get stuck walking behind a super slow person, especially if that person knows i am behind them trying to get past and they just meander back and for of the whole side walk or what ever and it's like COME ON i got places to be.

I often tap beats or rhythms with my fingers on an imaginary keyboard, like in my lap or something.... to a certain tune.... imagining the exact keys, sharps, flats, everything....

I bite the inside of my lip when I am nervous, sometimes till it bleeds....

A side effect of one of my medications makes the illusion that my skin is crawling, and so I feel itchy. I can usually ignore it, but when I get agitated over something, or lose my cool, I scratch my scalp vigorously and mess up my hair (I have a short, pixie cut which is a messy style anyway), to relieve the sensation.

When I concentrate hard on something, I purse my lips and shift them side to side, almost like a rabbit's nose twitching.

When I am reading, or focusing hard on some aspect of studying, from what I am told I get tis REALLY intense expression on my face. XD

These are my confessions.... :p
 
When I'm with people I fake my falls, trips, coughs and sniffles, but im real around my friends! Or everyone that I know!

And I used to repeat everything 2 - 7 times .
 
I tend to rub my ears quite often, mainly if I'm not doing anything at the moment. Most of the time I rub my right one
 
I'm terrible for biting the inside of my lip/cheek. I've managed to stop biting my nails and similar bad habits, but I can't stop biting my lip.
 
When I feel extremely socially awkward in a very uncomfortable situation in public, I've the strange feeling I want to sniff my nose for a couple of seconds, and when I don't I get like this sort of face convulsion. I'm pretty sure almost nobody sees it and the ones who sees it don't think it's to weird but I hate it when I've this feeling.
