Who else paces back and forth?

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

I do, but only when I'm REALLY panicking.

And it's not even methodical or rhythmic. It's more just ambling around because I'm freaking out and standing still makes me panic worse.

[Foxx 258]

I often pace to and fro whilst waiting for something important, after doing something cringeworthy, or when I am trying to find an answer.

[Drakkon 362]

I make circular motions generally, if that counts, while thinking. Going around my kitchen, to the living room, back and all over again. I'm told people with ADD/ADHD do this very often in order to help them concentrate. As I do have ADHD, I wasn't surprised.

 

 

Whenever I'm doing it and my fathers around (My yard is bigger so he likes to hang around my house and do things out of boredom himself ) it drives him nuts.

Haha, same here, except with my mother. I can't pace next to her or it drives her crazy.

 

But I am surprised so many people's parents also can't stand it. I thought it was just my mother being weird!

I Pace Back And Forth when im waiting for someone,or doing it cause im bored.

[Tao 7,756]

I do it to think,  or move around a lot!  Helps me to daydream!

[Kel_Grym 1,917]

Chronic pacer, right here.

[Tameless 979]

If I'm nervous or just excited about something I will do that.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I was doing that a lot just a few minutes ago on the phone with someone... when you have a lot on your mind and angry. You tend not to know what to do.

[Perradial 114]

I pace back and forth if I have to use the bathroom (and have for a while), am very anxious, or am daydreaming a ridiculous situation that has strange choreography (not necessarily walking in the strange choreography. I just randomly get up and start walking around).

[BROKENLOYALTY 51]

You called. I do this constantly. I don't know why, I do it when I'm bored, nervous, excited, happy, sad. I just like to pace. I can't figure out why.

When I'm in thought- particularly if I'm thinking about someone fictional or real being angry or excited, or a busy scenario- I tend to pace around the room a lot, as well as when I'm listening to energetic/tense music or if I'm bored.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I do it all the time... 

 

I'm not crazy... I TELL YOU I'M NOT CRAZY...

I pace all the time, it's hard to stay seated for too long unless I'm really focused.

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

if im waiting for something

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

Me. Seriously I have a really bad habit of pacing back and forth when I'm anxious/nervous, which I am often.  That and if I'm forced to sit while anxious I have a tendency to bounce my leg up and down or tap my fingers on whatever surface is close to me. So yeah.  

[Will Guide 21,360]

After a big revelation in an engaging TV show, I ended up pacing the floor putting the pieces together since the big reveal caused a lot of early confusing moments to finally make sense. 

[Cash In 22,309]

I pace a lot. Often for no good reason, other than my inability to sit still.

[PrinceGlaciem/LordNemesis 13]

I do sometimes, It's pretty much when something is bothering me or if I have an artistic idea and I am acting it out in my head to see if it works.

[TheRockARooster 51,172]

Yup, heaps of times.

 

I think people must think I’m a malfunctioning robot.

[Doctor Derpy 164]

I pace a bit, usually when talking to myself.

 

I swear, I'm not crazy.

[Denim&Venöm 18,932]

Oh all the damn time. I hate sitting or standing in one place for long periods of time. Even when I am sitting, it's in a rocker, so I'm not exactly still. When I'm bored or really thinking, or excited or nervous, I just pace around. 

[Rainbow Cloud 17,970]

I can start pacing up and down sometimes if I'm stressed or worried about something.

[Snow 7,034]

I’m not one for standing still, if on on the phone I’ll be walking all over or pacing back and forth or if I’m waiting at the train station I’ll be walking up and down the length of the platform.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,663]

I pace back and forth a lot. Even while I'm brushing my teeth. I seem to get most of my best thinking done when doing so. Sometimes when I conclude a thought, I'd just randomly stop, clap once loudly, spin on the spot and exclaim one of the following:  "RIGHT!",  "YES!", "HA!" or "NOW THEN!"

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

I walk in circles actually. After I had back surgery a couple years ago the doc wanted me to walk a mile or more every day, so I started walking laps around my apartment building, and now I mostly do it indoors, around the coffee table in my living room, over and over and over again. It helps me think.
