I don't have motor tics, it just so happens to me, that the more I fear of doing a certain movement the more I attract it in a way, and the more I pay attention to it, if I ever were to do it. You're right, it's compulsions and I regret doing them after the temporary relief has passed, right now for example, I wish I would've never done that reassurance compulsion. I can see now that simply doing it once wouldn't have hurt, but now I'm worried about the repetitive conscious movements I've done afterwards to reassure myself nothing has happened. Problem is, it's counteractive. I guess I just have to remind myself that acting out my compulsions will generate more anxiety one way or another.
