Do you mean like wringing your hands?
I wonder if anyone here finds themselves curling their hand up and tucking their thumb in.
Babies do this until they feel more secure.

I wring my hands, all the time.

Not wringing together as much as clasping the separately.

Maybe a habit of gripping one hand with the other, or of interlocking the fingers of both hands, develops as a method to prevent hand-flapping. I clasp one hand and pull it through the other, over and over, when I am in stressful face-to-face meetings and they both ache afterwards.

Hand Clasping/Wringing is a everyday routine.
