This happens to me to, but in somehow a different way, when I remember some acts or actions that I did in the past, either childhood or when I was a teenager.

Forr example, I recall when I was was singing in karaoke party and I sang horribly, and only my friends clapped, every time I remember that, especially when I remember it in my bathroom, I feel a very guilty feeling, and say bad words to myself, and in the past I also made with my hand a gun and simulate to shot my head. I guess the guilty feeling was big, but the interesting thing is the reaction to the thought, that is the words I said, and the movement with my hand, just doing every single time.

I suffer from OCD and social anxiety the most, I have never thought of this as tuorette, but it is interesting to consider it.

I do a similar thing! I don't say it out loud but in my head when I try to stop an annoying thought I have this like "tic" that I always say that doesn't make sense. I always say something like "What's my name? Oh yeah". It's to try to distract me, that's the first phrase that comes to mind, but it seems to mean anything from "what are you doing" to "who am I thinking of". Sometimes it says "Kill yourself" (and no I'm not suicidal it's just like a tic because I can't really control it, it just blurts out in my mind to drown out other thoughts.) I also have OCD (the kind without overt compulsions- maybe they are replaced by mental ones) so I figured it was part of that.
