When you are excited do you pace uncontrollably?

Post Reply New Topic

I was watching love like winter on TV... DAVEY comes onto the screen... I start rocking back-in-forth and waving my hands around like I'm in water...
My Pokemon evolves on Diamond and learns a new Attack... I jump around the room giggling and squealing... I can't help it and if I try and stop I want to do it more!! !! !! !!
I'm all excited because I have been watching AFI music videos!! !! !!

Yes, I do tend to pace uncontrollably when I'm very nervous or excited. I don't do this every single time but I would say most of the time.

I pace all the time, and especially when I'm excited. Obviously I can't leap out of my seat when I'm at a movie, but if I'm watching something good by myself... yeah, I jump all over the place.

I do, sometimes.

Pacing is one of my things; its not uncontrollable once I realize I have started to walk around. I just sit down again but sometimes I am up walking around after minutes again. Doesn't bother me really unless I do it outside and that is rare.

I need to get up and pace when I'm thinking hard. I also pace after I have a conversation with someone and it makes me start thinking.

I do more than pace... I run around in circles!

My 9 year old son flaps and jumps up and down on his toes.

My 7 year old son jumps and does forward somersaults on the floor.

i tend to have a bit more of a hop in my step if im fantasizing myself

Oh yeah, I do that a lot.

When I was a little boy, for instance, I couldn't watch a Tom & Jerry cartoon without running around the room (and even at the age of almost 28, I still sometimes get the urge to do that now).

I pace the length of the house anytime I'm under undo stress. Proably go miles when I'm alone. Wish I could channel that energy into something more productive on the material level. My autistic daughter jumps on the bed and the couch and her squeals and laughter make me smile anytime I hear her.

BTW wasn't that one of the questions on that test?

I think so, but Im not sure because its been so long since Ive been excited about something. However yes, I do frequently pace uncontrollably when Im stressed out or if I have a lot on my mind. It seems to tend to make people a little uneasy and annoyed if they notice it though. Whatever, its not like I can stop doing it just for them.

I did before, but now I have more self control.

I still do it when I have nothing else to do, or I'm just really anxious.

I do, as a really bad stim!

Omgosh I do that, I also jump up and down and clap, and pace around the house and make weird noises, and giggle, its so funny, my family hates it haha!

My hands go crazy if I'm excited. It often happens when I'm on the internet and I read something I can relate to. Sometimes I'll pace if I'm bored, impatient or trying to think.
