I will be sitting or standing somewhere, and all of a sudden I twitch! My whole body cringes to one side and my eyes open real big. These happen very often, not just when I'm cold! IIN??

    I can't remember the medical name for it but it's when a nerve casing is impacted and so generates what appears to be a message from your brain telling you to move. Because the impaction is usually quite sharp, the movement is sudden too. It's entirely normal and happens to all of us.

    Lower your standards and try getting less surprised by everything.

    Same thing happens to me, only my eyes close. It freaks everyone who sees me do it out, but to me it's normal.

    Sounds normal to me lol. It happens to me sometimes but it's my eye or even my arm. It's so funny because I will try to cover my eye so people won't see what's going on, when really it makes people look.
