I'm curious to know if the things I do that I've called my quirks are actually symptoms of something greater.

Since I was very little, at least 4 or 5 that I can recall, I would spazz my arms at my sides before doing anything. Kind of like jazz hands but I'd swing my arms up too.That was ongoing for about 10 years and then it gradually became less frequent. I'm almost 20 now and I sometimes catch myself still doing it. It does not bother me or other people.

I also can be vocal and make random noises. I've also done them for years and years. Sometimes favoring one and it lasting for days to a week. I'd make the noises multiple times a day. Most often when I was overwhelmed for whatever reason. I've often made screaming noises At my previous job. Enough to the point my coworkers tuned it out.

There was one occurrence that may or may not have been prescription induced, but I could not help but shake my head back and forth. I could resist for a minute TOPS before I had to jerk my head to the side. Otherwise I felt highly uncomfortable, like when you resist a yawn and your body starts tensing up. That went away after a few days to a week. It was odd.

As far as wondering if I have ADHD, my boyfriend's roomate and I are similar in many ways. Ive never met someone who acted so similar to me. He makes voices and noises all the time like I do. And he gets really excited over things and sometimes spazzes out. I do that too. My boyfriend told me he has ADHD and Torettes.

There are times where I completely tune out when I'm with my boyfriend. I was staring off into space one day while we were watching a show and then starting talking louder than usual. And then I kept hanging upside down for the next hour and rambling nonsense. It took me a while to calm down. I felt really out of it. I've done that a couple times. Sometimes I have moment when I am hyperfocused and feel very in tune with everything. I know my eyes are bugging out in those moment. One night I was rambling how humans came to existance and our connections with each other. Even brought his desk into it talking about how it came to be. He just listened until I calmed down and was fine. I was tired afterwards.

Are things I described just quirks you think? Or what? No one is concerned for me and I'm not either. Just curious. I can explain more in depth if it helps. Thanks!
