I was wondering, does biting nails until they bleed a type of stimming? I was also wondering if making a faint "hmph" sound is a type of stimming. These are things I like to do.
It can be, although many people refer to it as a "harmful stim." It is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about, though - lots of people have harmful stims (I've had the exact same one you mention ever since I was 11 or 12) and there's even a support blog for it on Tumblr. I happen to think the term "harmful stim" is subjective, though - that is, if you don't see it as harmful, then it doesn't have to be considered that way. I think the "hmph" sound you mention might be a kind of vocal stim.
