For everyone out there who’s now afraid to leave the house: noticing tics does not mean caring or even paying attention to them. Yeah, that guy’s foot is tapping, he’s probably nervous, glad it’s not me, what’s for lunch? Even you see other people’s tics and dismiss them because they’re part of being human. Meanwhile you beat yourself up for your own.
Remember the Reverse Golden Rule: Be as kind and forgiving to yourself as you would to a friend, or at least as kind as you would be to a total stranger.
