  • Did anyone this week and last find themselves stimming a fair bit during that? It’s like the empathy feedback loop was so intense that it somehow made that adaptive behaviour much more constant for me than during many other things I’d ever watch. I don’t have dramatic stims normally, but i had interlaced fingers, drumming, tapping, my foot was going, I was digging into my palms with my opposite thumb, and I started pulling eyelashes and eyebrow hairs out, something I do relatively seldom these days but has been a lifelong habit. 

  • Yes, there was a bit near the end when they showed all 4 people featured stimming in some way and I suddenly realised that I had for some time been rocking back and forth.
