Stimming problems...

Post Reply New Topic

I usually stim; flapping, no problem. Same with foot tapping. They are quite easy to hide.

But I do full body movements and I more or less throw my arms around and make a shaking movement with my back/spine. As you can imagine, this is very embarrassing in public. Is there any way I can avoid stimming as severely?

Thanks

Im not sure about that however i have managed to kick some of my stims not all but some and now i have kicked them i dont even WANT to do them even when im alone i have however made the decision to keep 1 of my stims becuse its the best and unlocks my imagination its hard at first but eventually i just stopped on my own or you could try and adapt the stim instead of flinging you arms find a thing to flick about or somthing ( its very soothing but ..... well thats my stim :S) and its great but you still have the problem of not doing it in public unfortunately the world will pick up on any abnormal actions that you perform and will make it into a big deal this can be avoided by simply holding it all in and when you alone you can flap jump skip or whatever your stim is to your hearts content.

It took me a while but i came through and i havent given it up becuse its considered weird becuse i like to do it its relaxing really and why should we stop somthing just becuse others say its wrong?

Pls reply i want to know if i can help in any other way

I find you can never really get rid of them, you can just change them. Like for example, my weird thing that I used to do where I lock my fingers together and move my hands back and forth rapidly, or my wiggling my fingers a lot. I changed these to just rubbing my hands together really fast, like I'm cold or something. This works better when it's actually cold. haha

Yeah if you cant get rid of em at least change em to somthing less obvious it would be funny if someones stim was the urge to do a backflip xD i wonder how they would hide that eh?
