Looks like a mild or drug-mediated version of Tardive Dystonia. Repetitive facial tics, insecure balance, inappropriate use of words. Can be caused by various psych meds.The internet articles all point to anti-schizophrenic meds, but I know someone who has TD from standard anti-anxiety drugs and GI meds subsequent to cancer treatment/chemo. Can be tamped down with other meds, but otherwise incurable.

Bright, motivated people can play off the symptoms and they become less easy to spot while the patient is actively trying to control themselves.

Not a doctor and I don’t play one on the Internet, but I’ve seen this sort of syndrome before.

Isn’t it interesting how we can look at little things and sense something is not “right.” And based on individual experiences, we dig into our past to “give it a name.”

I am not making fun of your answer, nor am I questioning it.

I guess it’s an animal instinct, not wanting to be around someone that is “weak.”

The Dems will say we should be more evolved. Ha ha. Jokes on them.
