What's your favorite Stim? And are you currently doing that stim?

Leg bouncing, snapping my fingers, rubbing my hands together, playing with my hair!!

Leg bouncing, playing with the edges on my shirt (well could be a edge on different material if its cotton based).

Currently leg bouncing....

Sitting: Leg bouncing
Standing: Walking/running in circles
Lying down: Closing one eye and tracing farther-away objects with my finger

Various vocal stims

Interacting with myself, usually not in public, for obvious reasons. Though while out and about, I have been know to find a quite little corner somewhere, and "get on with it" as it were, while doing my best not to get caught.

Running my fingers through my hair, -it's about the tactile sensation of hair moving along the webbing between fingers.
Back when I had a girlfriend, I used her hair and wore mine short, but since I'm single I've deliberately grown it to be longer than 2", so I can do this.

Chewing on things! It's a happy stim for me. :3
I also do this head tilting thing to a random rhythm in my head. It's awesome.
I lovvvee stimming- Is that weird?

Walking a coin (or pencil) over & under my fingers,endlessly.

It's one of those stims you can do anywhere, it's complex & repetitive, takes practice and concentration but best of all it mildly strains tendons enough to really *feel* it...yet it is mostly ignored.

Reciting lyrics, listening to the same song over and over again. Bouncing around, playing with my hair.

Rocking, bouncing, flapping, clapping, humming, repeating dialogue from films over and over. I'm rocking right now.

Mine is taking my Personal Favorite Plushie and Squezing as hard as, I can.

Meth and yea.

Chomping on my binky,

Also rocking, flapping, and wobbling my knees while sitting.

If I can match the pitch of whatever is causing the dominant white noise in the background of a the space I'm in, I feel great. I have to be careful not to let my humming or singing get too loud in public though, that's awkward.

I like flicking a pencil in my hand for a visual stim, jiggling my leg when I need to appear Neurotypical, and scratching my ear is my favorite thinged everrrrr.

When I'm happy I'm singing atonal nonsense or some made up song with the natural pitches (not sure what they're called but they resonate nicely and it's why eastern music sounds off pitch, actually it's western music that is off! Lol)

And I like to mimic vowel sounds from other languages which aren't in English.
