calming touch
When I am stressed or feeling anxious I rub material between my middle finger thumb and forefinger. I don’t know why. I always have and it freaks out my B/F. I read romance novels and can’t without rubbing the fabric on the inside of the same purse I have. That purse’s material seems to keep me calm.

I actually do this but for a different reason. When I think about it I get this little annoying single bead of sweat between each of my fingers in that little webbing part. I actually hate it so much that I scratch it until it peels. Now that I’ve thought it it’s bugging me right now so I’m taking my index finger and scratching the webbing of the thumb of the same hand.
i do this with my blanky from childhood. its the only thing that can calm me down and reduce my anxiety. it looks gross and i am a grown woman. but there’s nothing wrong with it if it makes you happy, right?
I do this, too. It has to be a satin-y smooth material. If I don’t have that, then I’ll rub my thumbnail with my forefinger.
my sister always rub the corners of the newspaper or book between her thumb and index finger on her right hand. if i borrow her a book, i am sure that the right corners of the book is almost gone.
