When was the last time you noticed you developed a new stim? Everything I do has been that way as long as I can remember, but in the past few months since being sober I've noticed I'm doing a new stim during stressful times such as in crowded places.
I looked up online and saw similar examples of hand stims. I just found it odd that I'd find a new stim at 34 years old. But, I do find it very calming and notice its become almost instinctive in times of stress. But only around people. At home, I continue to do my usual stim of sitting and swaying, which occurs all day tbh. As I'm usually sat in front of the computer all day.
How about you? Have your stims been around as far back as you can remember? Have you ever developed any later in life?
I've made a brief video example.
