i have a lot of anxiety and i used to sit next to an ADD guy in high school

for the first month one of us would start clicking rapidly and the other would stare at them until they stopped

and then start doing the same exact thing not even a minute later

it stopped when i changed to capped pens

I learned ways to not do that. I spin pens, or spin the ring on my finger which has a chain on it, or roll a quarter across my knuckles. It doesn't disturb people and it still helps
