Does anyone have an anxiety related habit of balling up food as I call it. I pick up little pieces of food like bread or rice and then roll it into a clay like ball. The piece I make is usually less than half the size of an eraser on a pencil. I roll often even when I don't appear to be anxious but I definitely do it more when I am anxious. After I get the ball I roll or mush it between the tip of my my thumb and index finger. I have felt alone with this habit as I have known no one to do it or anything like it. Please let me know if you or anyone you know does anything like what I have just mentioned. Thanks

Hi, Regnevar! I hope you find someone who has this habit too, but you are not alone. People do many things due to anxiety and they probably feel weird because of it. I used to make sure that all my pencils were aranged in a certain way, or that all the glasses on the table were in a straight line when I got nervous.
