Instead of biting my nails or playing with a fidget toy, is there a skill I can learn/practice?

Like rolling a pen/coin through my fingers or something like that.

    Also for those who don’t feel like Googling it: flow arts include juggling, spinning, baton/staff/whatever spinning, fan dance (?), and more.

    TIL there’s a general term for that.

    Wouldn’t the coin on the knuckles thing count?

      Coin on the knuckles is tangential but not usually considered flowarts, which is usually more of a whole body activity. However it’s close enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw someone showing off at a gathering. Similar to like hackeysack or balisong (butterfly knife).

      Flow is also a gateway to fire performance, aerials, acrobatics, and other circus arts
