This is something I do kind of a lot. I guess poke/apply pressure my finger tips with my finger nails. I do this when I am nervous, scared, uncomfortable(mainly then) and figuring something out in my head. I had a radical Christian friend that told me that's what witches do lol. Sometimes I make a fist but my fingers aren't turned into my hand they are agianst the end of my palm and I apply pressure.

I do the same, except that I poke/apply pressure to my fingernails - my thumb into index finger until it's destroyed then I move on to middle finger. I usually don't realize I'm doing it.

I tap my thumb and middle finger together during anxious moments, pinching when stresses out. I think I probably stimmed as a baby and my mother disapproved. This is a stim but it's not as noticeable - secret stim... I also wiggle/jerk my toes in my shoes and press my tongue to the backs of my teeth - to the point I get blisters on my tongue and gums.
