Who else paces back and forth?

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

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.

I have a habit of pacing back and forth and walking around when I'm thinking deep thoughts on things like philosophy.

Oh, i have a terrible habit of doing this. 

[Savygriffs 5,021]

Oh geez, I happen to do this a lot of the time. >.<

I pace a ton. I think it's just because I have a lot of pent up energy. I pace while doing a lot of basic tasks and it drives my parents insane.

I used to pace back and forth a lot back in the days. But I replaced it with actual walking (a long distance per day) which caused most of my problems to disappear.

Me when at the end of a case in the Forensics section of Trauma Team for Nintendo Wii, where I need to present the evidence cards that shows the truth of how the victim died. The music makes good pacing music

I used to pace back and forth when I'm trying to figure out a really tough question for homework.

I pace back and forth when I am thinking about something

[Tao 6,719]

I will pace back and forth if thinking or if I get pissed off about something.

I do it a lot at work since I have to stand the whole time. It helps to make my legs hurt a little less.

 I pace often as I don’t like sitting down a whole lot.  

[Ixrec 86]

Sort of yes.

I cannot remain still for very long. If I'm standing, I'm gonna walk around. If I'm lying in bed, I'm gonna toss and turn. If I'm sitting, I'm gonna cross and uncross my legs or change which way I'm leaning (unless I'm already toe-tapping and head-bobbing because I have music playing). It has nothing to do with my emotional state.

But in practice, pacing is super rare for me because I almost never stand up without a destination in mind.

Thus, when I do end up pacing, it's usually because I tried to do two things at once, one of them required standing up, then I forgot why I stood up, but I'm already in the middle of the second task and I don't want to interrupt it just to figure out what the first task was.  So there I am standing for no reason, and the need for motion kicks in.

I walk and dance while waiting for dinner to cook. I hate standing still

[Savygriffs 5,021]

I used to a whole lot back when I was little, but I don't really do it anymore.

[Clawdeen 12,109]

I do this a lot at work. Especially if I’m stressed out

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,358]

I do it within the kitchen and dinning room areas, that's when I need things to eat  

[TheRockARooster 47,280]

Me when I’m thinking about something or I’m really stressed.

I feel quite similar to this! Mostly, it's to relieve a ton of energy that makes it difficult for me to do much of anything. Otherwise I would be constantly tapping my feet or something like that.

Sometimes out of nervousness too, but I tend to try and distract myself to get myself mentally prepared for whatever it is I'm nervous about instead of only pacing.

When I was a bit younger I’d walk for hours in a circle around my room it helped me think. I haven’t done it a while though 

[Iforgotmybrain 3,505]

If I’m on the phone absolutely yes. I almost unconsciously do it, I’m on the phone for more than 10 minutes I’m probably pacing around the house.

[Impulse 471]

I walk alot when i'm waiting for bus or taxi

Back and forth cause I have energy
