What are your stims?

Gay 2/1/2021 01:02 am 2902

my stims are:

Singing/ humming

Leg bouncing (idk if that’s my anxiety or not)

Hitting my chest

Picking at my scalp

“Bebebebebebebebebbebe”

“Fhart”

Repeating whatever word I heard recently

Bopping like bop cat

*bop* *click* *bop* *click*

flappy hands

using fidget toys

chewing on things

typing on a laptop or computer

maladaptive daydreaming (this is kinda bad for me because i get my daydreams confused with reality at times)

Violently shaking when I’m upset or sad

Listening to the same song over and over

making the hand where u pu down ur index, middle, and ring finger and i shake it super violently

That’s all of mine! I wanna hear yours

My biggest ones are just depending on my mood, when I'm upset I smash my left arm repeatedly, if I'm happy or excited I wiggle my arms and maybe dance, if I'm nervous or bored I crack my left wrist (not in a bad way), If I tend to forget something I snap my finger and slap my face (when i slap my face its not a hard slap, its soft. and doing that actually helps me remember sometimes) If I'm nervous or under pressure I flap my hands back and forth. I tend to bounce my leg and mess with my hands a lot on random. i think that's all-
