I had a few habits. When I was in 8th grade, someone asked me, "Why are you saying, "ding-ding" all the time?"....
I responded, "I don't know". (I picked up the "ding-ding" from watching game shows).
Maybe I had a previous experience where the classmates said "ding-ding" when someone got the right answer? Anyway, I was going around saying "ding-ding", totally unaware that no one else was.
I was embarrassed and then I stopped.
I also clucked my tongue alot. I had alot of little things I did.
I had severe ADD
