I was wondering...

[MMXII]

if I were the only weirdo in the bunch. The older I get the more restless I get. In other words...I can't sit still. It's horrible, especially in church. I look around me and either my choir mates or my pew mates are sitting still, paying attention and I just can't. I move my legs, I fiddle with my fingernails, I twirl my hair...good grief, what the heck??!!

So I was wondering if you were like me?

I'm pretty calm most of the time. Altho, there are times at home where I can't sit still. There's always something else "to do".

My restless legs syndrome drives me nearly crazy at times.

I used to behave well in church. I have to say though lately when I have gone I have been more interested in things around me. When people walk in late it disturbs me. I draw allover my note pad, make notes on stories I am working on. Shift around in my seat constantly. And watch the time. It's like I want to be there, but my mind and body don't.

I'm like that too Jan but I can sit, I just fidget alot. I've always been kind of a restless person but I don't notice it getting any worse as I get older. Maybe that's just because my over 40 exhaustion covers it up

 

[GritsnGrace]

Usually when I get home from work, I sit in my recliner and sit, motionless for about 20 minutes!!!

 

[wayfaringstranger]

I'm fidgety too. I have to keep crossing and uncrossing my legs.

 

[loribee59]

I had to get up and move around, otherwise my arthritic knees stiffen up big time. Other than that time, I never had a problem fidgeting while sitting.

 

[foundationguy]

I can sit pretty still, unfortunately, staying awake while I'm just sitting is another matter.

 

[edie19]

I voted sure, even though I'm not exactly what one would describe as calm

Give me my knitting or a book and I'm set for hours.

Oh, almost forgot, a glass of wine helps too

Sounds good to me

Waiting for a train or bus is the worst for me, Ugh! and I too am prone to get stiff if I sit too long.. but, after a hard days' work, look out recliner

 

[Tattered]

I'm pretty calm. My job requires lots of sitting and computer work ... also, I can read a book for hours and not budge except to go to the bathroom ... and get chocolate and refills of my coffee

 

[~A.Pure.Heart~]

I meditate. It's not a problem.

Oh my! There HAS to be something wrong with you. lol

I KNEW it!!

My parents couldn't abide fidgeting. So, I learned pretty early on not to do it. Or I would get smacked. I can sit so still, I'm pretty sure I can lower my heart beat and my temperature even. Be still and know that I am God? But, I didn't answer that people can't tell if I'm alive. (or however you worded the last option.) that would just be freaky man! I'm not that bad!!!

I do get twitchy though. My neck...I think something's wrong with it. Because I had to pray last night for God to heal my neck, becuase I just can't get comfortable at night. It's like my head was taken off and then put back on crooked.

You sound like my friend Shannon MMXII. I actually went to a Ladies Retreat with her and she had to have one leg out of her bed, because she just can't be still. Her leg was constantly moving. But the thing is? She's skinny. So, maybe fidgeting is a good way to keep your metabolism up?

I have to jiggle my leg too to get to sleep at night. And when I'm standing, e.g., cash register, for prayer, in queue...I'm moving all the time. it's no wonder my legs ache at night.

 

[Tumbleweed64]

J have you been to Dr. lately and gotten checked for RLS?

Well yeah...not even marathon runners move all the time...you're fatigued.

Should we start calling you the figinator? Poor kid. That must be tough.
