Stuttering and tics So I know when you stutter it's normal to have tics, like hand movements or face movements but lately I have been doing this one really embarrassing tic, when I stutter I will open my mouth up all the way and my eyes will get wide and apparently I look scared. It's really embarrassing, especially when I'm talking to someone new and I make that face, they look at me probably thinking "what in the world is wrong with that girl??" And I hate it. I don't know what to do, at this point I don't wanna talk because it's so embarrassing and sometimes the tics hurt, when my mouth is open all wide like that it hurts my face and sometimes I get tense and it's just so annoying. I've also been fidgeting a lot with my hair or my hands when I talk and I feel like people are judging me when I do that. For anyone who makes tics when they stutter, can you do anything to help stop it? Does anyone else make a scared face when they stutter too or is this just me?
