but jsut as bad when it happens. do any of you internet people, when conducting yourself irl, inconveniently contract tourettes and blurt out hostile, strange, neurotic, unfriendly, non sequitur, sometimes downright disrespectful, and/or inopportune things in public. mostly when you accidentally see someone you aren't expecting to see, but obviously you do see them, and its impossible to simply say hellow and walk on by? (because it would be rude.) its like a personal affront

currently i am lamenting that this evening i said to a really important person, after realising they were walking behind me and some other people, "i dont like it when people i know walk behind me without telling me". and it got worse after that. of course this all occured it was directly after me saying really audibly, "tom can go fuck himself!". urgh i feel sick

i really just want to know that other people get automatically and blatantly unfriendly when they coincedentally run into people, so i feel better

the only person who can do this without seeming completely retarded is james spader.

It happens to me too. Especially when I cross my neighboor on the street or on our common balcony. He really annoys me, and his girlfriend too. Mostly because when I moved in, we had to lift upstairs my sofa and it was too long to just open the door and pass it trough it. The only thing he had to do was opening his door so we would have enough place to make the sofa enter in my flat. My roomate and I knocked on this door, called him. He must have been so scared that we ask him to help us lifting stuff I guess (we never EVER ask him anything). He didn't answer so we had to lift the sofa by the balcony (on the 2nd floor) with USB cables. When we finished, I look in his window fastly and he opened the light, sitting on his couch and doing nothing. Argh.

Well, since then, I don't say really hostile stuff when I cross him but it's all in the tone that comes in a more agressive way than I intend to. Last week, I told him: "If you guys don't eat the tomatoes that grow on MY side of the balcony, I'm going to fucking EAT them, ok?". He looked at me strangely. Anyway, I know what you mean Vulgaris.

Sorry for the long post.

Pics of said tomatoes :

Well, I have read - AND experienced - a form of tourettes that result as a side effect of taking anti-psychotic meds. It's called 'tardive disconesia' (sp) but basically this condition results if you take the meds for around 5-10 years, as I have done.

I was not even supposed to be taking this medication - because I was not schizophrenic - but suffering from drug induced psychosis. Perhaps they do treat that with anti-psychotics too - but I am really pissed off now that without my meds - I blurt stuff out randomly like a tick.

this would explain a lot.
