Here's a few:
when I have to perform on stage (public speaking, or singing), I start to shake. It's not too noticeable but if you look my hands will be shaking like leaves. It goes away after a bit, thankfully. Also when I'm performing, I sometimes feel a bit panicky, which means I am unable to smile much, which I think makes me look a bit mean to people.
I have ulcerative colitis, and sometimes when I'm tired or stressed, I get impossible to control urges and have to go to the bathroom several times in the space of an hour. My tummy also likes to make pretty loud noises in silent rooms, like say in the middle of an exam.
When I am painting, and concentrating on the task very hard, and still have lots to do and can't afford to take a break, my upper lip swells up on the inside. I think because I'm biting it a bit more than normal. It looks funny and is annoying. I also get the eye-twitch when I am particularly exhausted, but only in my left eye. I don't think it's visible, but it's horrible to feel the blood pumping hard there.
Bodies are tricky things to manage!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
