Question

Why do some people think that stimming is wrong?

Luna Rose Top Answerer

Sometimes, people like to judge other people because they feel insecure about themselves. Thus, if they can tell themselves that they're superior to other people, they feel better. So when they see someone who acts differently, they might say that it's because that person is inferior to them, and that the person's behavior is bad. But the reality is that most stimming doesn't do any harm, and there's nothing wrong with you if you stim. As long as your stimming isn't harmful or too disruptive (like screaming in class), you can stim as much as you want and it's okay. Judgmental people might frown, but you're OK.
