How to use "Twitching" in context?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to understanding why someone might twitch, but in general, it could be said that twitching is a result of involuntary muscle movements. When a person involuntary muscle movement, there are a variety of potential causes, including emotions (such as fear or anger), disease, or injury.
Sometimes, the cause of a twitch can be quite mysterious, and scientists still have a lot to learn about the brain and nervous system. However, even when scientists are unable to find a specific cause, they can often figure out what might have set off the twitch.
