I don't believe so, but I think if I had found another calming thing without downsides I'd be using that instead anyway, no? [looks up what a zentangle is; is bemused] Brain/a point required for the former, else I'd get upset with the ugly, tree-wasting doodle, and colouring other people's drawings feels Wrong to me; that would be highly stressful to attempt. I have mentioned that before, but it is not a very memorable detail. I need to learn to knit, really, but again I sort of need a point... It's less that and more "I want to talk but am aware I am too dangerously volatile for it to be safe for anyone to talk to me". Excuse yourself politely with a task that isn't actually urgent but can be implied to be so? Ngh.
