@koneko: Ive told them, no idea if they just forgot of dont care. So i just dont bother bringing it up again to no cause any unecesary arguments :^/

@CooperationIsKey: Oh alright! I good friend of mine has tourrettes. They told me its generally better to not hold it in or it starts hurting or it will get more severe. I personally rarely experience unvolentary movements or noises. A wierd one that trigers it tho is the word "clock" but at a secific pitch. The fisr time it happend was when watching a series, i got so taken aback i needed a moment lol. I then tested it and it happend again. Not sure why my body reacts when i hear it lol

@MaxIsConfused: I bougt a fidget cube online! It hasent arived yet but im looking forward to it!i got a semi-broken fidget spinner i got from my brother after the hot craze a few years back, it spins normal butits missing the inner piece so its akward to hold but i put it on a pencil and spin it around bc i like the feeling lol. I got recomended in another group to get a lil plush keychain as "companion" when going to a store alone so ill look into it + i loveee corgis!. That reminds me for while i had a small resin heart in my pockets at all time bc a friend made it wich i used to fidget alot with... i have no idea where i even put it i should get it back.

@koneko: Whenever i get overwhelmed with family they think im mad or im being mean so i just... go away. However somehow my friend can tell so when she asks if im ok i know i should go to a quite place, and then we either talk or she waits for me to calm down.

@CooperationIsKey: Im sorry to ask/asume and you honestly dont have to answer. But with tics are you reffering to tourrettes?

@Totalanimefan: ah yes! i recently gotten some wireless headphones, they arent noise canceling but they do cancel out alot of the "smaller noise" around me! like the wind, electrical stuff, mumbeling ect wich is great!. I also stick my fingers in my ears if its a sudden loud noise or too many people talk at once.


@Stinky: When im with a friend or family i also dont really care about being wierd. But when alone i just simply dont want to be percieved lol. It stresses me out when people talk to me or simply look at me

So for context
Im autistic, i got ADHD and i have social anxiety.
I got diagnosed with most stuff when i was around 18, i am now 21 so im still discovering alot about myself.

Just today i started getting overstimulated. I still dont know exactly what to do but i do breathing excercises and i close my eyes and stim alot wich causes me to calm down eventually.
But thats because im home, where i can do those things freely.

I remember when i was in school and i got overstimulated and i just didnt know what to do so i had to excuse myself from the class and had a panick atack.

So now im wondering, what should i do exactly when in public?
On the one side i know i shouldnt hide my stims because they help me. On the other, my social anxiety would kick my ass. I have trouble enough saying hello and bye to somebody, let alone make "wierd noises and movements".
Some of my stims include, bouncy leg, hitting my forehead (not to the point it hurts), uh i gies flapping my arms/hands up n down, vocal stims (mimiqing beatbox and ska noises, whoopwhoopwhoop, saying a line from ice age, and more) (i now realize i make sim noises lol)

So are there any things you do when getting overstimulated or overwhelmed?

Posted in Hobbies! What do YOU do for funsies? Posted 3 years ago
(˵◕ ᴥ ◕˵)ノ Hello there


I got a couple of stuff!
I like drawing, since 2020 more so digitally then traditionally (just bought a display tablet aswel so yeehaw).
In 2019 i went to my first con with my own booth, it was fun!

I collect washi tape, i got over 200 designs already. Some where very cheap from dollarstore-like places, some i traded with people (not a whole roll, you just roll it around a posicle stick a few times) and some i got from artists.

I collect bjds (ball jointed dolls). I know to people outside the hobby this is a strange thing for an adult. Personally i make my dolls into my characters, i make clothes and wigs for them, i take pictures of them and b4 the pandemic i went to meetups wich used to be fun.

And my biggest "hobby" is creating characters/working on stories. This one influences my other hobbys alot. I like drawing my characters, im planing on making a comic and even a game.

Other then that i like being creative, ive made mini furniture for my dolls, ive made some cosplays, ive 3D sculpted, made a fursuit head, jewerly ect.

I also enjoy playing some games, my pc cant handle it but since last year i got a switch lite. I play minecraft, stardewvalley, miitopia, before i got burned out i rly like acnh. On pc i liked playing slime rancher alot and my friend got me to play some phasmaphobia... I think its obvious that i like calmer games lol. I used to really like osu but my old tablet had places it din register anymore so i had to stop, now i got my new one i think ill pick it up again tho
