Have you tried fidget toys? I tend to stroke my beard or bite my cuticles, but my fidget toy helps when my hands want to be moving.
To add on to this, in front of other people, I play with my finger ring that has moving parts. It's a lot more descreet than playing with other objects.
Got any, uh, links for a, uh, friend of mine?
*looks around* Go to Etsy. Tell 'em your looking for "fidget rings". They'll hook you up. Tell 'em potoo22 sent ya. Idk about markets outside the US.
I have a silicon strip of bubbles... I fucking love that thing. Push a bubble through, pop it back out and repeat literally forever.
Fidget rings are great but it's hard getting them in metal I can wear, since I break out with most cheap steel rings. Had one in silver but since silver is pretty soft the ring isn't circular anymore but the fidget bands are and they slip off.
