Experiment Anyone else self soothes?

[Cuckoja]

Like when i feel anxious, usually around people im not used with, i hold my left shoulder with right arm, like self-hugging. Or holding one hand with another. Or pet the back of my neck and head.

Or when im depressed in thoughts, i hold my face and caress my own face jfl.

When my siblings ask me how are you because i look down, i just say im tired, because its easier to explain.

A week ago i really needed a hug and i wanted to hug my sister, but then i would have to explain so i didn't.

Make sense tbh. I was thinking about starting to learn playing a guitar, but i dont think that i love music enough to push it through.

Rarely

It doesn’t really do a good job at soothing me so I mostly don’t bother with it
