I impulsively crack my neck over and over again when I’m working on things (lemm.ee)

It’s become my main stem. My neck is extremely tense and slowly in more and more pain and I’m getting concerned… can anyone else relate or offer tips?

I've been doing this lately too, after always cringing my whole life whenever I would see people on TV do it. Now it's become a stim with me too, as well as scrunching my toes to kind of crack my ankle - like popping knuckles/wrists, just the foot version.

My ankle now hurts and I'm wondering if I'm doing lasting damage to my joints and ligaments 😔
