Sounds like you're self-soothing. I figure there are worse ways to self-soothe but if you find yourself having to do it more than you consider appropriate, here's a suggestion: while you self-soothe with one hand (so to speak), with the other keep looking at what's going on for you that you need all that self-soothing for, and how you might be able to address it that could begin to resolve it for you.
Best of luck to you, Evening, and thank you for sharing about that!
