| I still do that and I'm a young adult (even though I don't feel like that) and yes it feels good doing that, but ppl don't like it. |

I used to but I don't really flap anymore. Still, occasionally when I'm tired and trying to play air guitar to, say, RUSH, I basically just hand flap with my hands in a guitar position.

| I'm 38 and I used to do it all the time when I was younger but I got really badly bullied and I kind of went in my shell but only last year I started doing it again, I don't know how it started but it seems to be when I'm over stimulated and there's a lot going on in my head. It feels really good though and when I feel safe in the company of people I don't mind who sees. |

I don't think I've ever flapped my hands, I'm not too sure about it but though  I might have done when I was younger. I might ask my mother haha |

The responses explain everything!
Now I know why my power and comfort drives are satisfied when I walk quickly and silently (heels first, roll foot to toe, up, heels first, etc) or rotate my watch several times. But why does it satisfy those drives in particular?

| I do it a heck of a lot. I use to spend three hours a night before I went to sleep doing it xD (no wonder I was always tired! lol) Now it is much less but I do it if I am nervous/stressed or excited. It just feels good |

| I do when my parents yell. They yell more when I do--my mom thinks it means I'm having withdrawal from my video games and my dad is just an ignorant as*hole. I try to keep it to tapping though. |

| I am 17 and still flap my left hand almost unconsciously whenever i am anxious or excited and i have no qualms about flapping my hands in public. Unfortunately my hand flapping makes a distinctive noise and i had my exams recently (very stressful) and apparently the noise was quite distracting because i was told to cease my hand flapping. I spent the next hour focusing more on trying to deny the urge to hand flap than i did on the exam. |

In hindsight, I find the amount of stimming I did during a student government feast (with combined tables and everything) rather odd. Apparently, I kept flipping my watch and leaning about 5 degrees to the front as if rocking back and forth alone was not enough. I even had two brief shutdowns, but no one noticed because I rarely speak anyway.
