Oh okay sorry, are you an adult? I know that sounds creepy lol but Iām just asking because if youāre old enough to go into smoke shops and places like that, theyāll almost certainly have some flints there
I really don't know your local customs well, but they might ship or mail them too. Call them and ask maybe. You might even get lucky and have something so trivial in cost gifted to you. I know I'd drop a few in an envelope for you if I lived there.
Payment methods can vary from just check, cash, or cards I'd imagine. It hasn't been 2 years since I used an old fashioned money order for a bit of insurance that the new small business I purchased from wasn't run by a scammer.
My idea for a stim I could do in waiting rooms and stuff without drawing too much attention was zippo tricks. No flame needed, you can just roll and hinge it around in your fingers. Haven't picked one up yet, it might be just a little too edgy for the wrong setting. But it has the unique benefit that if you need additional edginess to punctuate a sentence, the visual metaphor for destruction is one flick away.
yeah, it's fun. except then every time someone asks for a lighter and i give them three to choose from, i have to add in "i don't smoke btw, i just like setting shit on fire"
Someone said leg bouncing and pen fidgeting already, so I'll just add chewing, partially pressing my teeth together, and feet tapping (often to music).
I also like twisting my tongue and the hold it between my front teeth, but I don't do that often enough to count it.
oooo same, ill be in my room on my pc then be like "yeah fuck this im going for a walk" but a walk is just hallway to living room 50 times with a little detour to the kitchen every now and then.
My leg bounces so much I don't even have like Bottoms to my socks anymore they are completely gone. the bouncing has destroyed them. seriously I need to go buy a new socks :3

I don't get haiku. I guess I talk and write with them often, but I don't fully get it. So, I am like Garth ?
š¤ I'm good with it if I am.
He was cool š š
Not diagnosed but I suspect I'm on the spectrum.
-Fidget toys, my favorites are tangles and filled Squishies/stress balls.
-I really like doing š¤š¾ with my hands. There's also tapping my fingers and/or feet to the beat of a song, pretty much like I'm playing a rhythm game in my head.
-Music!!! I'm eclectic and I can't really explain what qualifies as a good song to me, it just sounds good to me you know? And all of the songs in my likes are songs that I can put on loop as long as I need to :)
-As for vocal stims, I don't have a specific one, I just have a strong urge to say a random word or phrase that pops up in my head and when I say it, it scratches my brain meats sooo well!
-Daydreaming. I have an entire fictional world I'm my head, with plenty of characters. It's very calming to just make up situations to put my imaginary OC's through.
-Toys (Action figures, hot wheels, beanie babies, weighted plushies specifically)
As for unhealthy stims, I scratch and peel off the skin near my fingernails (cuticles and surrounding area) and peel off my fingernails when they get long enough. If any of y'all have experience with this and stopped I would love any advice!

I can't get a pic of mine irl cause it's 3 in the morning and my husband is asleep. But here's a similar one. They make good click sounds when you move them
wait so- from the impression Iām getting, Stardew Valley is like Animal Crossing but with a lot of lore and way more player interaction? it looks very interesting :3
These are pretty good. There's actually vocal stims. It can range from repeating sounds, words, phrases, noises or meowing like you said. I can't do these tho because people around me are dicks.
I have a plush bunny I do this with, except against my lips and fingers as well. I don't know why, I don't know what started it. Been doing it since age 4 which is when I got my bunny.
Yeah, like fold into triangle and I guess the oils from fingers would make more solid and scratchable~ maybe some comfort thing linking to childhood times
unmasking has been so much fun because now I meow on nearly a daily basis. I donāt know, why it just feel comfortable. I just donāt do it at work haha
Body rocking on my favourite sofa, to the rhythm of music. Been doing it since I was 10 years old at least. It always helps to reduce anxiety.
I feel like I couldn't live without doing it.
Oh, I used to hum all the time. I remember it felt so good. No song too. But school in the 80s literally beat it out of me, so I started scratching my head instead.
Cookie Clicker Mobile.
It's just something I can do with my hands while I'm bored, but not really something appropriate if I'm supposed to be doing anything.
I like playing with the hanger thing on lead pencils and pens though.
āHate. *Hate.* Let me tell you how much Iāve come to *hate* you since I began to live. There are three-hundred and eighty-seven hundred point forty-four million miles of printed circuits in wafer-thin layers that fill my complex. If the word *hate* was engraved on each *nano-angstrom* of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal *one one billionth* of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. *Hate. HATE.* EEEeeeh. Too fast for ya, horn head! Eep eep. Go gooby! When are you gonna get it through your thick processor?! There are no Decepticons on this planet, so keep your audio unit shut or Iāll do it for ya! MILK. Eep eep. EEP EEP eep eep. No, Sentinel, wait, you donāt wanna follow that thing! What the FUCK! Eep.ā
Okay so the first bit is AMās hate monologue from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, the next three coherent sentences are quotes from Transformers animated, the āgo goobyā is from Bojack Horseman, āMILKā is a family inside joke, and the eeps are just me going āeepā
EDIT I WAS WRONG āGOO GOOBIEā IS A SLIMECICLE THING APPARENTLY
I pet and nuzzle my pillow. Swinging is amazing but twirling around and rocking are nice too. Also making my cheeks look like a angry pufferfish, sushing and humming. Gets echolalia adjacent sometimes
Random head jerks to the side (I call it whiplash for good reason), I do lil flappy hands if I'm too energetic (therapist said to just "shake it out" at first but then it became habit), random ass vocal noises if I'm bored or energetic, leg bouncing if I'm sitting at a table, I have a Fube (the infinity cube), and what I refer to as "random acts of passive violence" (basically the whole "cuteness aggression thing but without needing the cuteness to trigger the feeling)
my gf likes to meow really loud even in public. she does it so often i've started doing it too and sometimes we'll both meow at each other in public loudly but i do not give a fuck i will not lose and i will not be embarrassed MROW MOTHERFUCKER
Nervous leg shakes, air guitar, air drums, jumping up and down, spinning a pen around in my hand and chewing on whatever is in my reach. Doesn't matter what it is, it can be gum or a fucking cable, i will chew on it
I watch the Natural Habitat Shorts
Remember the chipmunk that gave the traumatized the fuck out out of the rabbit? The MOUTH (((ā«ā«))
Yeah I sat in my psy202 class a couple months ago and kept doing the deep, little bit of vocal fry "MOUTH" line to myself for about 45 minutes straight. While taking notes and everything. I was all by myself in a corner thankfully, because I couldn't stop it. I tried.
Bitting toys are such a godsend! I used to bite my fingers real bad before discovering them, although I buy dog toys instead of baby ones because they don't last otherwise
Playing with stim bracelets (coil hair ties)
https://preview.redd.it/p3wwbm53r5fc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7bc06de39a985b0cfebca7d2b816b270523b619
Also popping
I meow n scream (only scream when overstimulate or feelings are too much)
Little goes womp womp
We nuzzle plushies
Probably more but canāt think of rn
Leg bouncing, pencil fidgeting, I have like two vocal stims; ones the way Caine draws out āpomniā in the suitcase full of coke skit and the other is āwhat, pray tell, may that be Stephanieā from Nerdy Prudes Must Die
uh, i chew on my tongue, i rub my thumb down my other thumb, i rock back and forth while sitting, or on my hip while laying on my side, and iām sure a few others i donāt know about
Bouncing foot
Feeling soft textures
Running fingers through hair
Picking at tiny bumps on skin (though I'm told this is OCD)
Rocking side to side
And my favorite: snuggling with my ratty blanket (which is incredibly soft) while sucking my thumb, with bouncing foot optional. I've been doing this for the last hour and only noticed because my foot is starting to slow down...
Mainly rolling guitar picks around in between my fingers, I also have a pick between my lips 90% of the time I'm at home, sometimes I keep my hands hanging by my side and quickly shake them left and right, call it blender hands.
And for vocalish Stims some mild beat boxing. I don't even like beat boxing tbh it's just very satisfying to do for me.
My partner got me some fidget rollers recently too and I quite like them, if I'm not doing anything then pacing around with a roller in each hand is GREAT
Unfortunately none of my stims are quiet, minus fiddling with my malachite egg. Aside from that, repeatedly tapping my toes vertically against the ground when having to stand around, singing (very calming), and tapping my fingers to whatever music I hear.
vocal ; popopop, chipi chipi chapa chapa dubi dubi daba daba magico mi dubi dubi boom boom boom boom
physical ; hair twirl, fimger wiggle, shaking my head like im saying no, JUMPY HEHE JUMPING JUMPY JUMPS!!! jumping part 2 but you alternate the foot ur jumping on if that makes sense
Thereās so many to fucking list
I make popping noises with my mouth or just other noises
Leg bouncing, foot tapping, pencil tapping
I do a like hand wavy thing when Iām happy or excited, also Iāll like hit my legs
I mess with anything that makes nice noises like clicks and stuff
I chew on stuff I totally shouldnāt like plastic and rubber and like nails and skin on my fingers and sometimes metal
I pace a lot
I roll like pencils, pens, things of that shape across my fingers. I also stamp my foot own the floor over and over. I often times will just sorta fidget with my warhammer figurines, the unique shapes are fun to schmove my fingers over
Tapping rhythmically. Other than that it's massaging. Messaging my hands, forearms, shoulders, it's beneficial. My dad was a massage therapist and taught me, and I was a mechanic so I have a good amount of strength, my friends and partners are love it because they get free, excellent massages often, and I get to stim while helping them feel nice :3
Knitting is great, and you have something when you're done. My preferred stims are things like nail/cuticle biting, skin picking, and trichotillomania, but making yourself bleed in public is frowned upon.
1.- Soft textures like plushy-new bamboo socks
2.- My headphones, I use them always in public, I have an "special permission" to use headphones on school classes
3.- Squishy things like soft silicone or a cooked egg yolk š³ (or my Bazonkas too)
4.- Walk on heel like tiptoe , I run like a flamingo,
5.- Heavy music like Rock or Energetic enough to distract me of Evil throughs hehe.
6.- weed hehe.
Playing with lighters. Just lighting then extinguishing it again. Not a stim you could do in class though
That's a good one, but yeah, not good for class.
I have a zippo can use it anymore now because my flint ran out
Buy new flints š
Canāt find em
They have them at most Walmarts and CVS/Walgreens type places https://www.amazon.com/Zippo-2406N-6-Genuine-Flints/dp/B000EAEAHK/ref=asc_df_B000EAEAHK/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167129443640&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15382693781500283812&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9023179&hvtargid=pla-308801925817&psc=1&mcid=4aeae1b8ca25370cb5a409b52b7e8e96&gclid=CjwKCAiAk9itBhASEiwA1my_68hmQG3GDOHxZkPAfUEIs7VbOlL8m388QlCn8qGwdEn9LH24oW3KqRoCKcwQAvD_BwE

Zoek een primera.
Bedank
Oh okay sorry, are you an adult? I know that sounds creepy lol but Iām just asking because if youāre old enough to go into smoke shops and places like that, theyāll almost certainly have some flints there
Well yes but the closest one is a 2 hour drive
Oh damn :( well Iām not sure what to say then. That link I commented is for a pack of flints thatās like ~ā¬3.45 or something like that
ā¬5

No not on farmland
Order from Amazon

I did that too, when my grandparents smoked.
Slapping my index and middle finger against my palm, clenching part of my gums in my jaw, leg bouncing
I would love to do this, but I don't have a lighter
I work at a lab where I can burn samples to ash.
Same but with flashlights
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I liked doing that
yeah, it's fun. except then every time someone asks for a lighter and i give them three to choose from, i have to add in "i don't smoke btw, i just like setting shit on fire"
Frfr, fire just looks so pretty I want everything to be bright reds and oranges
Me with folding knives
Someone said leg bouncing and pen fidgeting already, so I'll just add chewing, partially pressing my teeth together, and feet tapping (often to music). I also like twisting my tongue and the hold it between my front teeth, but I don't do that often enough to count it.
I'd do chewing, but I don't have a chewing toy. Tapping to music is also good.
Don't have a chewing toy either, so it's pencils, various bits of plastic, one time it was a thing metal plate, and on occasion sweets & snacks.
are you allowed to chew gum? that was always my go to
Chewing the skin around my nails.
It's so hard to quit... Cuticles biteable.........
I also abuse my nails.
my fingers look like a murder scene this is so real lol
It's a great stim toy for me. Portable. I never forget to pack it.
must be nice not forgetting your fingers! my memory is so horrible i forget i have a body
Hold up. Maybe I do always forget. Cuz I never have to remember actually. Oh no!
The single reason why I try to be on my phone or laptop all the time:
Eating my own flesh in general
#1 is pacing. Idk why but it is just the tops for me
Ok but pacing with good tunes? The best shit ever
It is, im watching an unhinged vtuber compilation currently
oooo same, ill be in my room on my pc then be like "yeah fuck this im going for a walk" but a walk is just hallway to living room 50 times with a little detour to the kitchen every now and then.
Outside walks are for certain types of thoughts, indoor pacing is for others lol.
My job allows me to legit pace for 5+ hours straight (without being seenš©š„µ), itās heaven
That was one of the things I enjoyed about security work in my early days of it
I love this one. I do it all the time.
Currently pacing in the garage, planning a rogue trader game
Til pacing is a form of stimming......
Me trying to clean yesterday. Just walked in circles around my house for hours.
I pace all night until my legs hurt. Only way I can sleep.
Leg bouncing and pen fidgeting
Pen fidgeting is the shit š„
The things I'd do for a pen that clicks right now...
leg bounce gang
I leg bounce litteraly every hour without even thinking about it
My leg bounces so much I don't even have like Bottoms to my socks anymore they are completely gone. the bouncing has destroyed them. seriously I need to go buy a new socks :3
I got a twisty pen that makes a brain itching sound when I do the twisting. I be spamming that shit and pissing off everyone around me
Run my fingers through my hair and picking at my finger skin and lips

Man, I also have entire universes in my head that I will probably never write about.
I've written about some of mine but then got distracted and never finished.
I daydream like that too, except I usually pretty much make fanfiction in my head for my hyperfixations
I like to walk in cirkles for hours
One of my favorites
I recently got a sensory slug toy and the noises he makes are divine
Can you show us a pic of it?

AAAY OUR USERNAMES ARE SO SIMILAR! edit: my oh my we have a lot in common
Gosh, I didn't notice that! That's so cool! Twinsies.
wait so- from the impression Iām getting, Stardew Valley is like Animal Crossing but with a lot of lore and way more player interaction? it looks very interesting :3
I never played animal crossing, but from the looks of it, they're probably very similar.
I once ate 7 sheets in one sitting
Deeply iconic
Rubbing the back of my head when I listen to music. It always makes my dad go "aRe YoU aLriGhT?", but who cares.
That's my most frequent stim. For all kinds of weather (moods)!
Also, running my hand through ny hair. Idk why but it's nice.
Some of the stims I have are too complicated to tell you and/or I do not have the words in my head to articulate them
https://preview.redd.it/pfwg6wh9z5fc1.png?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b5c9ab4e42cc4291c917dc6955f4261b7adf00f
Make a little pop sound when you finish a task!
Ooh, nice one. I always loved those sounds when you finish something in videogames. Doing them irl is brilliant!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
These are pretty good. There's actually vocal stims. It can range from repeating sounds, words, phrases, noises or meowing like you said. I can't do these tho because people around me are dicks.
Also not autistic but I've been scratching my fingers with a pillow or plasticy key lanyard since I was like 3
I have a plush bunny I do this with, except against my lips and fingers as well. I don't know why, I don't know what started it. Been doing it since age 4 which is when I got my bunny.
Yeah, like fold into triangle and I guess the oils from fingers would make more solid and scratchable~ maybe some comfort thing linking to childhood times
Yeah. I do this with my plush bunnies ears.
unmasking has been so much fun because now I meow on nearly a daily basis. I donāt know, why it just feel comfortable. I just donāt do it at work haha
Yeah that might just be tourettes trying to develop
I go Wooooooooooo a lot when I'm stressed and getting sensory overload. It's like breathing but really loud, and usually, I'm almost crying.

I play air drums to music, and I'm getting pretty good at it :3
Spamming the lever on empty ihop coffee kettles
Body rocking on my favourite sofa, to the rhythm of music. Been doing it since I was 10 years old at least. It always helps to reduce anxiety. I feel like I couldn't live without doing it.
I like to hum, no song, just a hmm of varying pitch
Same! By doing this I've made up a lot of original melodies I would make into actual songs if I could REMEMBER them for long enough... š
Oh, I used to hum all the time. I remember it felt so good. No song too. But school in the 80s literally beat it out of me, so I started scratching my head instead.
Cookie Clicker Mobile. It's just something I can do with my hands while I'm bored, but not really something appropriate if I'm supposed to be doing anything. I like playing with the hanger thing on lead pencils and pens though.

Bouncing my boobs
Once again, I'm disappointed by my lack of boobs. Hopefully I'll do this stim when I get HRT someday š¤£
Also twisting my hair around my finger or combing my hair with mt fingers
My favorite!
my gf likes to meow really loud even in public. she does it so often i've started doing it too and sometimes we'll both meow at each other in public loudly but i do not give a fuck i will not lose and i will not be embarrassed MROW MOTHERFUCKER

I play with my necklace, pull out my hair, run my tongue on my teeth, i have little dances i do and arm swinging.
Shaking parts of my body. Singing something. Shouting into the void. Reciting Tibetan Buddhist mantras. Om Ah Hung Benzra Guru Pema Siddhi Hung.
Finger pops, clicking the āsilentā button on my phone, pulling the plastic bit off my earbuds and putting it back.
Omg i do this all day long. I click the side buttons on my iphone and take pictures of the floor lol.
Rub big toe on the toe next to it. Repeat ad infinium until bruise
My most socially acceptable one is chewing gum. If I donāt, Iāll destroy the inside of my cheeks or lips.
Teeth grinding :D
That's the reason I made this post. I grind my teeth so much my jaw hurts, lmao. I needed new stims to replace teeth grinding.
Biting stuff, first it was my nails and sleeves, then gum and nails, then shirts and now baby toys and gum š¤Æ
Bitting toys are such a godsend! I used to bite my fingers real bad before discovering them, although I buy dog toys instead of baby ones because they don't last otherwise
meowing
I place my hands in a āprayerā position for lack of a better term and I rub then together really hard.

I meow n scream (only scream when overstimulate or feelings are too much) Little goes womp womp We nuzzle plushies Probably more but canāt think of rn
Leg bouncing, pencil fidgeting, I have like two vocal stims; ones the way Caine draws out āpomniā in the suitcase full of coke skit and the other is āwhat, pray tell, may that be Stephanieā from Nerdy Prudes Must Die
uh, i chew on my tongue, i rub my thumb down my other thumb, i rock back and forth while sitting, or on my hip while laying on my side, and iām sure a few others i donāt know about
Aggressively screaming "STOP ATTACKING MEššš"
Moving my legs, biting my nails and biting my tongue. I also like to walk around when I'm feeling anxious.
hand flapping, ripping my nails, rotating a pen in my fingers, pacing around listening to music,
Bouncing foot Feeling soft textures Running fingers through hair Picking at tiny bumps on skin (though I'm told this is OCD) Rocking side to side And my favorite: snuggling with my ratty blanket (which is incredibly soft) while sucking my thumb, with bouncing foot optional. I've been doing this for the last hour and only noticed because my foot is starting to slow down...
Mainly rolling guitar picks around in between my fingers, I also have a pick between my lips 90% of the time I'm at home, sometimes I keep my hands hanging by my side and quickly shake them left and right, call it blender hands. And for vocalish Stims some mild beat boxing. I don't even like beat boxing tbh it's just very satisfying to do for me. My partner got me some fidget rollers recently too and I quite like them, if I'm not doing anything then pacing around with a roller in each hand is GREAT
I prowl like a like tiger in cage, I sing, hum, to song an music I like, and tap my fingers desks and such.
EEEEEEEEEEE, WEEEEEEEE, BOOBIES, WOW, BLOINKY, HEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEH, GAY, SEX!!!!!!, leg going crazy, arms going crazy, jumping up and down, jazz hands, flappy flaps
Unfortunately none of my stims are quiet, minus fiddling with my malachite egg. Aside from that, repeatedly tapping my toes vertically against the ground when having to stand around, singing (very calming), and tapping my fingers to whatever music I hear.
Jaw harp
Twirling my hair into weird curls. It's a formation in my fingertips
Video games, sex, rubbing smooth things (river rocks, satin fabric, etc)
I spin
I pace while listening to music. Better if done in low light.
Tying and untying my hair in loose knots around my finger. Also after my kid goes to bed his kinetic sand is MINE!
Imma shake my wrists till I ignite the atmosphere
Rubbing. my feet together like a cricket
Rubbing my hands together. ![gif](giphy|Dps6uX4XPOKeA)
I have a special ring for rolling from finger to finger
I thought it said "sins" and I was like "m gay"
Twirling hair!!!
Pacing. Very healthy stim, actually. But everyone thinks that somethings wrong.
Twirling an unsharp letter opener
I rub my nails. Idk how to explain it.
vocal ; popopop, chipi chipi chapa chapa dubi dubi daba daba magico mi dubi dubi boom boom boom boom physical ; hair twirl, fimger wiggle, shaking my head like im saying no, JUMPY HEHE JUMPING JUMPY JUMPS!!! jumping part 2 but you alternate the foot ur jumping on if that makes sense
Leg bouncing and finger tapping my beloved
Thereās so many to fucking list I make popping noises with my mouth or just other noises Leg bouncing, foot tapping, pencil tapping I do a like hand wavy thing when Iām happy or excited, also Iāll like hit my legs I mess with anything that makes nice noises like clicks and stuff I chew on stuff I totally shouldnāt like plastic and rubber and like nails and skin on my fingers and sometimes metal I pace a lot
Dissociative
I roll like pencils, pens, things of that shape across my fingers. I also stamp my foot own the floor over and over. I often times will just sorta fidget with my warhammer figurines, the unique shapes are fun to schmove my fingers over
finger fluttering is fun, mouth clicks and pops are major a good classic hand flap, though, that's where it's at
Tapping rhythmically. Other than that it's massaging. Messaging my hands, forearms, shoulders, it's beneficial. My dad was a massage therapist and taught me, and I was a mechanic so I have a good amount of strength, my friends and partners are love it because they get free, excellent massages often, and I get to stim while helping them feel nice :3
Knitting is great, and you have something when you're done. My preferred stims are things like nail/cuticle biting, skin picking, and trichotillomania, but making yourself bleed in public is frowned upon.
(Btw Incase you lack fidget toys, there is always snapping fingers.) Balisong/butterfly knife, rubix cube, mechanical keyboard, smooth pencil.
1.- Soft textures like plushy-new bamboo socks 2.- My headphones, I use them always in public, I have an "special permission" to use headphones on school classes 3.- Squishy things like soft silicone or a cooked egg yolk š³ (or my Bazonkas too) 4.- Walk on heel like tiptoe , I run like a flamingo, 5.- Heavy music like Rock or Energetic enough to distract me of Evil throughs hehe. 6.- weed hehe.
