I just got through with a really socially intensive traveling experience, and one thing I noticed throughout was that having something in my pocket to fidget with while I was talking to people made it immensely easier. I felt like it distracted my anxiety. Does anybody know if there is something specifically made for this purpose that might work better than something like coins?

-
rubbery key ring fobs work well.

I have a nice large smokey quartz crystal that I fidget with when I'm at some social thingie. Or I'll fidget with my wedding ring or a large clear purple glass marble I found.

I found this site, not so you can buy their stuff but to give you some ideas. They seem to think it is all for kids but we adults fidget too! :)

I found my smoky quartz crystal at a quarry for rock collectors and my big clear glass purple marble at the dump store. Who needs to buy when you can "dig" for free! :green:

I also have a nice water rounded smoothed dark green with black spots pebble, that I found when I was a kid near the St. Lawrence Seaway in Quebec. It fits nicely and comfortably in the palm of my hand. 8)

I use my thumb drive on my keychain

I do this as well. Usually it is with my keys, more specifically the light I have on the keychain. The batteries are out on it from me pressing the damn thing in my pocket. I mess with my Ipod's slider and sometimes my cellphone when I don't leave it in the car or whatever.

Tres interessant.
I might give this fidgeting a go in social gatherings.

Thanks for this link, Renaeden. We already have a lot of things like the ones that they sell, but it is fun to see more.
I'm kind of lucky because I have a daughter, so I can buy whatever I think that she will like to fidget with and then I get to play with it too.
She loves these magnetic stones:

She likes this play foam, especially while driving to school:

I give her two colors at the same time and she tries to mix them as uniformly as possible, then we make different shapes with it, like multi-colored snowmen or whatever.
She also likes Silly Putty, which is part of this kit.

My daughter likes origami, sudoku, or organizing her beads.

Those stones look like fun.

Those stones look like fun.
They have rare earth magnets in them and are very fun, just keep them away from the computer.

And the TV screen.

I use the keys in my pockets. The keyring to the cinema offers excellent therapeutic value. The little alarm device, especially, contrasts nicely with the keys to the booth.
