I got a spiky stim toy and I'll never be the same again

I was apathetic back when fidget spinners got popular. The one I had I just totally forgot about! Those really did nothing for me. Slime wasn't for me either. Some smelled off, had weird textures, left crumbs on your hands and got filthy after a few uses. Sure, I used to like silly putty as a kid, but silly putty was way better than whatever the hell cheap slime was. The closest thing to a fidget toy I enjoyed was those fidget cubes. But I also ended up forgetting about them. Same with the keyboard stims. I'd click em so loud to the point I annoyed myself instead of feeling like i was releasing stuck energy.

Its not until this year (almost 10 years later) that I decided to get myself a 3D printed, spiky stim toy with a bearing and a quiet clicker on top. Holy shit. The moment I opened the package I squeezed the fuck out of this thing and I swear the happiness i felt was surreal. It hurt and it was exactly what I needed!! This stim toy actually relaxes me to the point of yawning; I never thought I'd enjoy a torture device like this one. The pain is somehow soothing. Highly recommend bc I tend to pick at my fingers & nails a lot. Some nights my fingers & nails would ache from all the fidgeting and this helps me take my focus outta my hands.

So yeah, if you're contemplating getting a spiky stim toy, I think you should!
