I get that. I have a fidgeting thing with pencils where i press it into my palms. I find myself doing it even without noticing and i end up with pencil marks everywhere.

Yeah i really like mine. I find myself rolling things between my hands, so acupressure rings work really well for me.

Never heard of them I’ll definitely have to look into them I am always moving my hands and rolling stuff around in them
Especially when I drive somewhere and have the keys I am constantly twirling them on my fingers.

I kid you not, best cheap and easy to get fidgets I've found are ketchup packets. Just don't use one for more than a few days and don't squeeze too hard.

That’s a good idea.

Combo fidget. You get one sensation from just squeezing the ketchup back and forth inside, and additional stimuli from folding the packet around or or passing it back and forth between your hands. I play with them subconsciously so often I just keep a few on my desk to fiddle with.

I do mess with them everytime I have them they are actually really nice never thought of using one for a fidget though.

That actually sounds really good! I don't think we have "ketchup packets" like you do here, they're quite different here...
