Yes, definitely I have a tic on my eyes when I’m feeling very nervous in a social situation that is the one I fear of.
From experience I know that the more you fight against that situation, in that case, doing a tic, the worse.
So, I would advise you to gently accept them when appears and practising relaxation exercises.
There’s a guide relaxation that I enjoy a lot and find pretty helpful. It’s Jacobson’s muscular progressive relaxation. It’s about tensing a group of muscles followed by a relax of the same muscles. The objective is to teach your brain to notice the difference between tension and relaxation and with practise and time, help your brain to stay on relaxation mood when needed and more often, because it can rapidly notice the difference.
It take time. Daily practise is needed but I think it may help you.
You will tell me.
I post here a link for you.
What is Jacobson’s Relaxation Technique?
I used to practise it first following a guided relaxation audio I played on my phone. But it was in Spanish. Sure you can find it also in English wherever you listen to podcasts.
If you have any question, I’m here.
Feel free to ask.
