Thoughts on Fidget Spinners, Cubes,Thumbchucks and Skill Toys

[MKF30]

So as you probably know the fidget spinners and toys in general are kind of big now. They say they're great for boredom, fidgets, anxiety, ADHD, impatience, stress and make you focus/think better. What do you think? Is this true or is this but just another fad/trend that will die eventually?

Thumbchucks

Fidget ring/gear ring

Few more I'm sure but you get the point.

Do you guys have any of them? Do you think they help you in any way? Think they're overrated?

I think the "thumbchucks" are just anal beads in disguise... In which case, no, they will never go out of style!!!

You left out autism. That's not an edgy joke that's actually also good for autistic people.

I think this is a stupid fad that puts soap to shame in terms of lameness

 

[MKF30]

@coconutshrimp Yeah that's another one. There's a few conditions they're useful for. But yeah, it's like a "thing now" but as someone who has anxiety can tell you it does help focus your mind, distract.

Thumb Chucks. Those things take more skill than MK and Injustice combined...just check out the video below, that shit is insane...lol

Ok so I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, I haven't been diagnosed with anything(or tested lol), but whatever I'm doing I perseverate on it till it drives me insane, but screwing around with the fidget cube while I'm just doing random stuff kinda helps me relax.

I didn't even know these existed until now. Seems fun though.

I just draw when I need to "fidget"

Hmm sounds like stress or anxiety, if it helps you relax that's good. Sometimes people get stressed, it's hard to find something that helps them relax. For me, Bob Ross, Putty Exercises, Fidget Spinners and ASMR help me relax lol.

I send out 500000 fidgets at work, I had no idea they were so big till then

Interesting. didn't know this stuff existed. I chew the tips of my fingers.. not my nails, but the skin itself, done it since I was a kid, a nervous habit I developed and have kept my entire life. I keep crap around, pens, use my phone, paper clips, anything to keep my hands busy.. this shit would be nice for me.

I dont think its some idiotic cure thing, but for people who fidget naturally it just seems like a focused outlet for it. Shrug.

Yeah this stuff can definitely help with an issue like that, I never bit my finger nails or tips(bit of a germaphobe lol) but I had a habit of peeling the nail and rough skin back, then gently cut it away with a thin box cutter. Friends would be like "dude what's with you and the band-aids"? lol Now there's so many things to help with habits like that regardless of the reason.
