When I think of / remember something embarrassing from my life, I compulsively say some random word (or if I'm thinking of something else, I blurt that out, (if that makes any sense) ). It seems to happen unconsciously, before I can control it. I can't stop it; the word comes out before I can.
Also, If I remember an embarrassing conversation, I tend to blurt out a random word of the conversation (as in, I'm replaying the dialogue in my head but then all the sudden one of the words pops out of my mouth). If it happens while I'm reading, I tend to blurt out one or two of the words that happen to be under my eyes at the moment.
It usually only happens when I'm remembering something palpably embarrassing or humiliating from my life -- not for mild everyday kind of stuff. So is it a form of tourette syndrome or just my way of getting rid of the embarrassing thought? It's been happening since middle school (I think).
