Animals in captivity pace their living areas, an expression of anxiety.
But also an ADHD thing, I do this all day while thinking or on the phone. I have to turn off my camera for meetings because I tend to wander in and out of frame while I listen and ponder.
The secret is I’m always anxious, especially on the phone.
I just carry my laptop with me while walking around during meetings.
I exclusively do this while on the phone. I don’t typically do it otherwise.
Ayyy
If I’m alone I tend to walk in circles inside for like 0.5-1 hour or more thinking about stuff (with or without music). It’s soothing😌
I also pace when waiting bus etc.
(Even when I sit I pace some times.🫣 Leg goes up and down.)
Hey Picard, please don’t explicitly call me out on Lemmy…
I can stop pacing anytime I want, I swear.
Well if you figure out how, please let me know too.
That’s an ADHD thing, welcome to the club. !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I’m a card-carrying member!
I know, I know. But ICD-10 doesn’t recognise it, if there were non or few symptoms in childhood.
Hanging up the phone and realising that I somehow teleported on top of my shelf…
