I'm satisfied with just clicking a pen ... I'm a simple man.

[@BoydotEvan]

"That guy must be anxious cause he can't keep his legs still," he said as I was anxiously shaking my legs under my desk.

[@scottshannon9379]

If I see a guy at school flinging noodles around... I'm transferring

[@sadmac356]

My two cents, and keep in mind that I have ADHD and anxiety: Yes, I fidget. I really like the fidget cube myself, in fact. While I don't personally understand how the spinner works, I'm not gonna judge you if you like it. Can they be distracting? Absolutely. But that really depends on what you're fidgeting with and how; if you're doing something like clicking a pen while I'm trying to work on something, or you're sitting at a table with me and your leg's bouncing and shaking the table, I will get annoyed. That's the point where I'll say something like, "Okay, I understand that you need to fidget, I do too, but can you please redirect it, it's distracting me?" and if I have an extra fidget, I may let you borrow it, depending on what it is.

CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE: use a pen

[@lampoonetti]

talks seriously with a noodle on his shoulder

I think everyone else with ADHD will agree but they do really help.

[@jessieholinson530]

Okay guys we get it, it's for the special people with ADHD or ADD. But it's okay if someone that doesn't have a disorder buys them because they fidget a lot. Calm down.

[@hihillama6621]

whos watching while using some sort of fidget toy?!

[@xphatlas965]

My school is going to insane measures to ban fidget spinners.

[@Exeposting]

The Fidget Cube honestly helps me more than the spinner does and I have Asperger's.

[@charlottekeaton6331]

Everyone in class:

[@sarahstaulo]

Working at a school revolving around kids with attention disorders, we utilize fidget boxes for students who can't concentrate. They are extremely helpful and a positive tool to use in an educational environment. I SUPPORT FIDGETS!

"I can double fist it"

Fidget Spinner - Only does 1 thing.Famous.

[@missmisaamane1]

Fidget cubes (I have 2) have helped me cope with my trichotillomania, anxiety and OCD. My hair is growing back in, my nails are intact, I'm more focused and I've passed maths 092 (remedial college level/ prealgebra) with a B-. I'm thankful for my cube. It helps so much.

[@CasuallyJapan]

"Woo woo woo! I'm swinging a noodle at my meeting!"

[@fridayizzy40234]

I use fidgets for my anxiety and ADD. I love fidget toys, I have Tangles and a Fidget Cube. It helps me focus so much. I like fidget spinners except when people spin them when it's super quiet.

[@birbdaddy]

"Everybody who's anybody has a fidget toy"

[@99yoona]

One kid has a fidget spinner...
