neurotic distractions

When I am in an uncomfortable situation I start to write random words and sentences with my finger where ever I can, like my leg or on walls, or I’ll imagine them writing themselves out in my mind.

  I constantly write words in my head, then go over each letter backwards to undo it. Sometimes I do the same word or group of words in script and in print, and different types of print (all caps, bold, etc.) I stopped for a few years but for some reason it’s back.

  I do this with my toes! Most of the time, I find myself concentrating more on the words I am spelling, than on what is actually being said! I have never known anyone else who does this!

  I always write mine in cursive, often the word “Hello”. I will write it twenty times in a row if I’m bored or nervous.
