Your weirdest stim

Post Reply New Topic

I run my pillowcase through my fingers.

How is this done?

Most pillowcases are poly-cotton blend (they have to be the right blend or it doesn't work). They make the pillowcase nice and cool to the touch. If I press my hand onto the pillowcase and then drag it along, it feels really nice

If that isn't pretty much the wierdest one on here I'll be surprised. I was like "AWW, so that's what that is" when I first found out what stimming was because I've done this since I was a child and have always wondered why I do it.

Probably twisting things like seatbelts and socks, if you can count that as a stim.

Well, there is this one thing I do that I have no idea how to explain. It's like a tensing up that causes this weird inner ear spasm. I used to have long hair, so I'd twirl it a lot, but that's not really all that weird. Oh yeah, I do pop my thumb a lot.

Let's see...
I like to sniff the undersides of my fingernails.
If there is dried dead skin on any of the animals in my house, I like to pick it off. It is so relaxing to do, both for me and the animal
I like to pull out any loose eyelashes, or pick at any dried dead skin on myself.

Does flipping a coin when you are a little anxious count?
Pacing up and down the room when I play music on my iPod.

I twist my ring when I get nervous, I move it up and down my finger.

I don't wear jewelry because I destroy it. I didn't know that was a stim.

Don't know if it counts as a stim, but I do do something I think is kind of odd - I stick my fingers/hands in the waistband of my pants and push against the waistband with the back of my hands. The feeling on my hands is nice plus I just plain appreciate not having the damn pants rubbing on at least some of my skin for a bit. Of course, this has the potential for pretty serious misinterpretation in public . It's definitely something I try to keep to a minimum when others are around, although I am not always successful...

When sitting with a group of people, I sometimes tend to make left leg flop like a fish under the table.

i like to wear these when its winter and im stressed (my room is up stairs and it gets bit cold sometimes) i also most of time just rub it

The stim I usually catch myself doing is putting my thumb and middle finger together and then tapping it with my index finger, probably because I like the sound it makes. I also slide my hand from the front of my head to the back, especially when I have my hair up or I've had my hand in the air.

I pull my hair out and crack my joints almost non-stop..

When I was younger, I used to pull my hair out and then burn it.

Shake my legs to fall asleep.
