i've noticed starting to have these sort of humming-like vocal tics again and they're kinda hard to deal with sometimes too, i hope it doesn't feel as bad for you as i imagine it might.
actually i'm not even sure if mine are tics to be specific, they started as accidentally "copycatting" my roommate with tourette, but i haven't been in touch with her in years and they still manifest under stress etc. sorry for going off topic, i just sometimes feel like it's an invalid symptom based on how it started :/
tics often get triggered (not sure what word to use in here but i tried) by other tics. Like if you see/hear someone having tics, you'll start having yours as well, so I wouldn't see yours as invalid! Wouldn't be surprised if that's how many people started having their tics.
mine literally started w me watching a tiktok about someone w adhd tic-ing (idk spelling) and I thought I was faking it w/o even knowing
