Just my unqualified opinion, Pipez, but that doesn't seem like Tourettes to me either, because your noises and words aren't involuntary, you do them to amuse yourself.
Co-morbidity?
Perhaps like my other compulsions; they have a basis in reality/sensibility, but are taking on a life of their own.
I don't think I have any involuntary tic issues like that, but I wouldn't be that surprised if I have another diagnosable condition with the shyness/social anxiety.
And indeed OCD is classified as an anxiety disorder like social anxiety, PTSD and Panic Disorder so that would not be surprising. Many people have OCD and another anxiety disorder. For example I have OCD and GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder).
