to deal with my shyness and social anxiety i used to exibit bizzare behaviour patterns in order to cover up for how insecure i am and why time i made bird noises for a while, has anyone else done this?

I am chewing gum all the time,to get my mouth doing something,some people have asked me why I chew gum all the time.

Sometimes, when I am in a social situation, I tend to make peculiar noises to ease the tension I feel. Although the alleged "tension" is usually caused by my insecurity.

i always used to do loads of mad, nor mally drink and take drugs in order to do loads of mad ****, just ended up alienating me a whole lot more.

never made bird noises (not that im aware of anyway!) but i do have a nervous cough and ive done loads of mad/crazy stuff in the past (not bad stuff, just mad stuff) if that makes sense!

Um, taking my phone out of my coat every 2 seconds to make it look as if i'm doing something to avoid looking at people or have them look at me . *shudders*
Even walking up a path, even in a shop, even on the bus..everywhere !!
And if i've forgotten my phone i die.
End of story.x

I laugh and smile a lot when I'm nervous. Which is a lot of the time. And it's not just a normal laugh, it's kind of hysterical. Even when something's not really that funny... *laughing at the wrong time*

I also wear a rubber band round my arm, that I snap against my skin, to deal with anxiety and self-mutilation.
But nothing really out of the ordinary, I guess.

I do the neck thing alot yeah, i also have this habit of looking up to the sky it's quite bizarre. but i look for outlets anywhere tbh...

I always keep my eyes focused ONLY on what I'm doing. Not even wanting to know what's going on around me. I'm afraid that if I look up I'll see somebody looking at me.
