You're stimming. It's a way autistic people control stress caused by uncontrollable stimulus, i.e. loud noises or social situations they don't understand. Trying rubbing your fingers together or something, it's a much healthier form of stimming. The super autistic sometime give themselves brain damage because of how often and how hard they hit themselves in the head.

No, I can't be autistic. I have only started doing this recently, if I were autistic I probably would have been doing this before then.

I refuse to believe that I have autism. Hell, even if I were formally diagnosed, I wouldn't believe it.

I do this sometimes when the self-loathing gets too strong and I feel the need to punish myself. I only do it when I'm sure I'm alone though and I've never done it hard even to leave any noticeable marks

I usually just punch doors or hit my legs. Sometimes I hit my mom, but I've grown out of that.
