So, this is more a “what are you like” discussion.

How do you stim? do you stim? do you not stim? anything like that.

I hum to myself nearly constantly. If it’s not the song stuck in my head, I’ll just make up a tune. I quite like it, really.

I used to do that a lot back in middle school. Then a girl made fun of me for it, so I stopped and would only listen to it in my head.
