Leg shaking is universal

[Tristin]

Habitual thing, that anyone in the world can have. Why do you think this is?
Genetic maybe? Was boredom that deep?

[Dracoco OwO]

You mean like the thing you do when you sit and like your leg shake because it's not close enough to the ground?

[GlaceonChireiden]

I've seen it compared to having adhd, so maybe some degree of that?

I'm not saying everyone has adhd, but maybe to some extent humans aren't mentally great at doing nothing for long periods of time, and need some form of stimulation. Probably an evolutionary trait back from when we were hunters/gatherers and always out doing something.

I started in first school for some benign reason.
In its very limited form it staves a bit of boredom away when sat down amongst other 'tribbles'.

I think it goes more with anxiety. I have ADHD, but nowadays I only do this with my leg when I'm feeling anxious or in distress.
If I'm calm, my legs stay still.

It helps burn calories

it happens to me when I'm laying in bed and trying to sleep but can't go to sleep

Also it's only been a few decades where we sit around for long periods of time. We used to be way more active so maybe its in our DNA's to move

A temp job i did in days before yore even existed.
Putting leaflets into envelopes and you had to do it a certain order.

I learned to put the leaflets at arms distance and a pile just out of reach with the envelopes much closer to me.

With my method i was getting a limited but active role just from sitting at the desk always moving always breathing and at the end of the day because it was not hard work but i kept myself moving 17:00 I was still bright and happy and ready to do more stuff in the evening somewhere.

My colleagues were tired, bored a little pissy with the job because they would plod through it and hardly move.

So I think you are right we need to move.

Capital idea.

Yeah this I guess. Plus everyone is always stressed. Running on a treadmill like a hamster is also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. It's just how we live which is the problem.

Depends

[AdahnGorion]

Nothing odd in that and its there because we are not active enough and keep sitting still.

Body language in general is pretty universal, yes.

Learning to understand body language is a good way to improve your interpersonal relationships, even when there’s a language barrier.

I recommend a book called “What Every Body is Saying.” By Joe Navarro. He’s an ex FBI agent who’s job was to conduct interviews with suspects. It’s very informative but pretty dry.

Reading that book made me a far superior poker player at the very least. I can attribute several won jackpots to what I learned from it.

Problem with the very nature of culture, body language can have different meaning, you have some eastern european country where if you shake your head side to side it means yes and up and down no, many other instance of hand signs in asia straight up being insulting in the west and so on, there isn't a global rule on body language.
