When my stubble grows in, I just have to play with it. When I shave it off, I just have to feel how smooth it is.

It's maddening and I recognize that people must think I look ridiculous with my hand always stroking my chin.

Have you tried fidget toys? I tend to stroke my beard or bite my cuticles, but my fidget toy helps when my hands want to be moving.

To add on to this, in front of other people, I play with my finger ring that has moving parts. It's a lot more descreet than playing with other objects.

Fidget rings are great but it's hard getting them in metal I can wear, since I break out with most cheap steel rings. Had one in silver but since silver is pretty soft the ring isn't circular anymore but the fidget bands are and they slip off.

I have a silicon strip of bubbles... I fucking love that thing. Push a bubble through, pop it back out and repeat literally forever.
