This Is The Weird Shit That Soothes Me

My 'weird' things that calm me down •Fiddling with my piercings, specifically my septum and labret piercings. •Tugging on my partners' earlobe, mostly while cuddling. I've been doing this to my parents since I was a baby, and for some reason it just really makes me feel warm and safe. • Cooing at my cat and replacing words in songs with her nicknames, which are all super dorky and obnoxious. I mostly call her 'rat' or 'ratto' and often say 'rat, oh sweet, tender rat!' at her when she's being cute. Embarrassing to type that out, honestly. •Scratching my head and non stop playing with my hair. Any hair. Maybe tmi, but I like to play with my pubes for some reason. It's not sexual, and I'm not masturbating. Playing with the hair just feels really nice. Lastly, not so weird, but I have a giant stuffed animal collection and I snuggle with them constantly while I'm at home! It brings me back to easier days, and I've had most of my favorites since I was a kid. I'm not at all ashamed of this, and I'm never getting rid of them.
