involuntary movement

[Asylum]

i didn't kno where to post this..
this started a few months ago.. and well it's embarrassing.. :( i will move my neck sharply side to side or in a cicle withotu realizing ti.. i've becae to notice i dind't notice i'd do ti because my mother and friend Jeanette would pont it out and laugh. They still joke about it. and it hurts a lot. i think anxiety caused this.. whenever i get really anxious i apparently do it.. i jsut really want to stop, but i don't know how, sometimes even when i think about it i can't control it.. it's so embarassing.. :( i hate myself for doing it.. i do it in school, public palces, and people look at me weirdly..

today my neighbors friend was over and he started to make fun of it.. with his other friend.. :( people don't know how much this really hurts me and how much i'm embarrassed by it...

I have involuntary movements from time to time. With me, my head , neck and shoulders convulse a bit, and the rest of my body will have on odd feeling shiver. It doesn't happen much in front of people though.

Sorry to hear that the people around you seem to think it's funny. If I were you, I'd try to not get embarrassed about it. People will typically keep bugging you if they get a reaction out of you. If you act like it's nothing though, in time people will leave you alone about it. With your friends and family, perhaps if you explain why it happens, then they will be more sensitive about it.

I have these sort of moments too, when i get nervous I start to bite the sides of my lips and I cant control it and people laugh at me. Since you cant control it you might just need to put up with it and when people make fun of you because of it just ignore them and like Stephanie said tell them why it happens and they will understand and not laugh at you because of it.

I have involuntary movements too. It's mainly with my head, neck, shoulders, and left arm, but sometimes it happens wiith other parts off my body. Nobody really notices it with me, even though I have some sort of involuntary movement nearly everyday. Ignoring the people who make fun of it is the best thing you can do, I do it and no one says anything about it now. And it might well be the anxiety because I usually get involuntary movements when I'm a little anxious.
