i like this pop pop sound i can make with my lips, tongue-clicking, eh-eh-eh, rocking, feet wiggling (evolved from suppressing rocking and hand flapping), dancing, pacing, and humming
2
The arm flaps, jumping, shaking my hands, rocking, and if my gf is with me I have her apply deep pressure (usually just hold me and not let me move)
1
Flapping my arms, scratching if I am overstimulated, and just not sitting still.
Singing, copying sounds, and floppy hands

Tapping, rocking back and forth, and the classic flappy hands

Cracking my knuckles and rubbing a straw with my fingers

rocking back n forth on my back :’)

Favorites are drumming with my teeth & feet, humming, & putting my hands over my face & rubbing my eyes. Weirdest, socially, would be walking repetitively in patterns on tiled floors, climbing things, scratching my arm with my teeth, & very quickly/repetitively plugging & unplugging my ears. (The last one was awesome for escaping into my own little world in k-12 school)
I like to pace, or tap on people or my hands.
Claw hands

I like jumping, listening to music, rubbing my hands together, flapping my hands, walking on my toes, and I also have one where I hold my hands out and wiggle my fingers. Not sure how to describe that one exactly but it's really fun!!
I like chewing on things, and I have a lot of visual stims. My brain really likes squares so pixel art is a big one. I also do the classic happy flappy hands (which is even better with sweater paws)
Hand flapping. OG for a reason

Toe bounces!!! Tounge clicking, perching in high and dangerous places while toe bouncing
Pen or pencil spin, tapping and music. Plus a dark room while sitting on floor

Rocking and flapping my hands, also music🤗
Music (if that counts), flapping my sleeves, twirling my hair, bouncing my leg.
@ISFP I love love love listening to music :) I flap my sleeves too !!

@Hoppie yes, I listen to music of repeat alot
I don’t know really… oooo never mind I know clicking my fingers together. My index and thumb I click them together. Playing with fabric on my clothes by rubbing my finger/ pulling the thread up with my finger nail.

Cracking my toes and rubbing my feet together is a big one for me
@WhiteSheepGal I do this too, I never realized it until now lol
Rocking, humming, pacing, and pointing my finger and making circles
@RainbowKai I love rocking and humming, especially at the same time!
Spinninggggg
@Emrys.the.warrior yes it's so fun :D
I pace in circles or pace in a line for hours every day. It is my most common stimming behavior along with wringing my hands together. When I am stressed or agitated I tend to rock and yank on my hair, and during meltdowns I tend to beat my face up with my fists

I jump up and down while shaking my hands and it’s really funny
I have a worm toy that I fling around and hit on tables , or rubbing my hands together lol
Chewing or wiggling usually but I like playing with and watching slimes!
Kinda specific, but silky tassles. The way they feel on my skin is the absolute best feeling in the world
cracking my body and rubbing my legs
@flower_goddess these both sound nice!
Rubbing my hands and feet on something rough-ish, like a shag carpet or a spiky toy, helps me so much
@andromedagalaxy oo I like doing this too, or rubbing my legs in my blankets when I'm in bed!
