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.
