is it frequent? is it the same every time? does it get worse when you’re more stressed?

twitches will be completely involuntary. for me, i can usually kinda tell when a tic is coming on and, while im not in control of tics, it doesn’t feel completely involuntary like a twitch or muscle spasm. it feels like something that needs to happen and i usually get relief afterwards

It’s usually with my neck and happens when I’m stressed

It does feel involuntary but also like a relief type of thing like I can kinda sense it I’m just not sure why it happens. It’s usually like a quick bend? Nothing crazy hard but it’s just an odd motion
