Does anyone know a website that helps explain actions that are done subconsciously?

Question

i know its strange. but i have a tendency to grab things with my toes.

my friends bring it to my attention all the time. we'll be sitting down talking and i'll be holding or grabbing something with my foot and i wont notice it until they say something.

i just want to know what is causing this and how i might learn to stop because its weird aha.

Answer 1

Seems to me it’s an unconscious stress response from an unconscious anxiety/conflict. Not really weird, because many people have habits of foot-tapping, throat-clearing etc. The stress could be because of, for example, the desire to be a part of the group and wanting to be separate, needing group togetherness at the same time as needing an independent identity, or needing personal space (territoriality) in a crowd.

Couldn’t tell about one particular website that would fit your particular need - a google search should give plenty of articles/books/sites to choose from. You might also look up relaxation techniques to help you overcome it.
