Wild. I'm a pacer when I need to think, and a leg jiggler, but this is really interesting to me. That sharp sensation lets you focus on something other than the sensation?

Yes. It kind of replaces the need to fidget or rock. Pacing truly increases my focus and effectiveness (read superpowers engage). Pain is just a coping mechanism to make sure my performance doesn't degrade right into fully disconnected from the moment.

Figure out how to give yourself muscle cramps, its a great way to get pain and not have to worry about any marks. I learned how to do that as a kid and its helped me so much over the years.
