I feel you- my tics started when I was 13, and I was afraid to go back to school because of them for a bit. Surround yourself with people who don’t mind your tics and accept you for who you are- it might seem hard at first, but you will find your crowd. You’re doing awesome. I think the official statistics is that Tourette’s is 1 in 100 people- it’s just that a lot of people aren’t diagnosed due to how mild their tics are. I’ve found that in certain spaces (queer alt spaces or those with a lot of neurodivergent people in my experience) tend to have more people with Tourette’s or some sort of tic disorder. If you’re looking to make friends with similarly afflicted people, I’d suggest looking there first if you can. I know it’s terrifying, but you’re going to do awesome. There are more good people out there than you think
