Mostly stressful social situations or stressful situations with my wife. Sometimes if I am excited or anxious about an activity.

Anxiety mostly ...and unresolvable stress. Once in a while if I am very content , even happy about a thing.
but am able to control it if it is under public stress circumstances....but containing it can be stressful in and of itself.
Sometimes , i am able to keep my mental abilities going and get through it. Stimming was forbidden in my family growing up .
