i'm not sure why, but sometimes i kinda just feel ambient excitement stemming from seemingly nowhere??

i also do this thing when i'm excited where i cover my face with my hands, and then kinda strum my cheeks and nose with my fingers

i stop myself in public, because to a casual observer this must look crazy--especially when nothing particularly exciting is going on ahahah

@imixstimsandkinks huh! TIL stimming

maybe that's what it is?? i don't think i'm on the spectrum, but i definitely have a rough go with anxiety sometimes

it's kinda like if you get embarrassed and you go all (*/ω\*)
except it's lower down and with a lot more finger motion
