Instead of biting my nails or playing with a fidget toy, is there a skill I can learn/practice?

Like rolling a pen/coin through my fingers or something like that.

What do you mean by "stimming"? Being on stimulants?

Edit: In case it was not clear, I am literally asking what this word means as I have not heard it before.

I hadn't heard of this before either, but after seeing the Wikipedia article, I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'd summarize it as the activity of fidgeting.

Fidgeting in a repetitive way that provides sensory feedback.

Thank you! I thought it might have been new slang that I was unaware of rather than something that I may have experienced and may need to look into further.
