Instead of biting my nails or playing with a fidget toy, is there a skill I can learn/practice?

Like rolling a pen/coin through my fingers or something like that.

    What do you mean by “stimming”? Being on stimulants?

    Edit: In case it was not clear, I am literally asking what this word means as I have not heard it before.

        I hadn’t heard of this before either, but after seeing the Wikipedia article, I’m not sure if this is correct, but I’d summarize it as the activity of fidgeting.

          Fidgeting in a repetitive way that provides sensory feedback.

        Thank you! I thought it might have been new slang that I was unaware of rather than something that I may have experienced and may need to look into further.
