I honestly do not know the difference between and a stim toy and I usually use the two terms interchangeably.

My favorite fidget toys is my flippy chain. I use this thing all the time and take it with me everywhere. And I love that it's discreet and quiet.

What's your favorite fidget toy, or thing yiu like to fidget/stim with?

Without thinking, I pick at the skin around my fingernails. Sigh. But when I do reach for a fidget, I have a spinner and one of those Needoh gumdrops that is satisfyingly squishy.

Oh absolutely. The fingers automatically search for uneven skin and start picking...

Exactly. I have to carry nail clippers all the time to try and keep myself from picking to the bleeding point.

@Strider @nightspawn so true. Just the other day without realizing I was bleeding a little from my finger, exactly because of this
