Eli5 what is stimming and why are there so many videos of people acting as if they have multiple personality disorder?

I just genuinely don’t get where this trend came from and what these people are tying to achieve from it? I mean artistic expression is great! But so these people actually believe that they have multiple personalities, and if so do the act the same way when they go out into society?

I’m just so..so confused..

Stimming are repetitive behaviours that people do to relieve stress, anxiety, et. It can be movements, sounds, touching things, bashing their head against things and so on.

They’re quite often very noticeable in people who aren’t neurotypical such as people with autism who may undertake stimming when they have sensory overload.
