I like imagining a piece of thread and a cat playing with it whenever I think about posting a thread LOL.
Anyway, I have an assortment of unique repetitive behaviors. I'm curious what repetitive behaviors look like for you all. Here are many of mine...
Pressing my thumb nails into the corners of my pointer cuticles, and pressing the first pointer finger nuccles into the corners of my thumb cuticles, because I like the aleiveation physically that the pressure brings
Pressing / grinding my teeth together because I like the smooth feeling
Shaking my leg rapidly, constantly
Alternating bouncing my left and right legs
Bending my toes (in a thumpy way)
Rocking back and forth, particularly when focusing or overstimulated
Rocking side to side briefly when talking about interests like cats
Saying the same cartoonish sayings in silly voices throughout life because it feels so satisfying to my brain
Meowing
Biting off my cuticles (irrationally, to make them even)
Plucking my eyebrows until I've gotten every single outstanding hair
Picking my dandruff (eeyew, and you're welcome LOL)
Smoothing my nails, and scratching the ridges on my nails
Biting my lip
Wringing my hands
Fidgeting with objects, especially fluffy ones
Biting the hair off one specific finger
Brushing teeth an excessive number of times per day (though less so now)
Endlessly researching information of interest
Well, I know there are more, but that's enough LOL. What are your repetitive behaviors?
