Yes, I do these things, mostly when I'm NOT in public so as not to appear childish or unprofessional .... I absolutely dread doing everything! Once I force myself to do the dreaded thing and am in the middle of it (party, work, housework, meetings, presentations, paying bills, shopping, socializing, waking up lol) I am fine and often don't want it to end! But there is a lot of dread before almost everything until the point I have no choice but to do it or suffer bad consequences! Does any of this sound familiar?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this. It is something I've done for a long time and it gets more intense the older I get. I will sit here at my desk and just bounce my leg up and down really fast. It really shakes everything around me and I do not do it intentionally. I think this is a self soothing thing as it seems to somewhat calm me. Anyone else do this? If so have you been able to stop doing it or does it even bother you? It isn't like restless leg syndrome or anything like that. I can stop doing it but it feel antsy if I do stop.
Its means you irritated, or stressed. Bouncing your leg up and down is something i used to do, i did it when i was nervous. You need to find another way are calming yourself down, and find a way of being less stressed. Drinking coffee calms me down. Or i exercise to release stress levels.
