I remember that my sister and i have had this habit since i was about 7 and she was 5 ..for some reason we just cant stop doing this lol sometimes we dont even realize that we are doing it,but ive never came across anyone else who does this..i think its not normal lol

usually ill be sitting down watching tv and i fold a piece of fabric into a little corner and start rubbing it on the side of my index finger

    i have been doing this as long as I remember. I am 28 now. typically in a comfortable situation, i will grab a piece of fabric and fold it and rub my index finger, and sometimes all my fingers. sometimes unconsciously, and sometimes i am fully aware. fabrics include pants, dress shirts, bed sheets, pillow cases. very soothing for me. i have never known anyone to do this, until i saw my boss in multiple situations do this habit on his dress shirt fabric, usually when he is talking or thinking, almost a nervous tic. this is what led me to google the habit, and i found your story. may i ask what sex you are, how old you are, and where you live?

    Your Normal, but you should stop that. Bad damage can be done if your not careful. Just find another thing to keep your hands busy. I play video games. You could do that, or even draw. Many things can be done about this. But it's still normal.
