I've always stimmed, except now I'm more aware of it and know what those movements are.
Now I find myself doing it more frequently.....I think it's because of increased stress and anxiety (college, adult life, thoughts about the future, etc.)

Is it possible?

Could be. I've noticed that stress increases my hand movements. I find that being around people also causes me to feel the need to do something with my hands and arms.

Same here, being around people can be overwhelming for me so it stresses me out
