OCD is often co-morbid with TS. Strong emotions can cause more frequent and severe tics. Worry has a HUGE influence on my tics. I also get intrusive thoughts about inappropriate words or dangerous actions, like putting my hand in a fire for example.
can someone explainI will consciously have intrusive thoughts about doing inappropriate things. Not because I subconsciously think them, rather I know it would be the worst thing to do in this situation.

So If I Worry about being inappropriate, that emotion, plus the intrusive thoughts trigger my tics and make them inappropriate. In this case I was talking to a cool girl, and I didn't want to say anything bad about women in front of her.

Intrusive thoughts are a bitch. I've been diagnosed with OCD and have obsessive intrusive thoughts (about things I don't actually even believe) that get worse with anxiety and worry. Verbalizing intrusive thoughts can very easily make people think you believe things you don't.

But I feel like that would be classed as a subconscious thought, right? The innate knowing of something. It's your brain telling you to not put your hand in the fire.

To suggest it is the subconscious it to suggest that these phrases are an expression of my inner self, your identity, thoughts or feelings. which is misleading. The subconscious is not often used to describe all of the random data we have stored in the brain that tics come from.
