I find it impossible to have a phone conversation over 2-3 minutes without standing up and walking around. I have no idea why. Am I the only one?

@Mtt Absolutely not, I do it all the time. It helps me think.

@Mtt nope, I’m exactly the same. It helps em think and process the conversation. Has the added bonus of adding steps to my Fitbit without needing to specifically do something.

@Mtt definitely not, the number of times my family had found me circling the dining room table, waving my arms, talking on the phone...

@colinwalker Yep. No idea why. I don’t walk around to think in other circumstances.

@philbowell Same. I almost feel uneasy if I’m not walking around.

@vishae Same. My wife makes fun of me, and half the time I don’t even realize I’m doing it. I’ll do it even if I’m on hold.

@Mtt I do this, too; in fact, if I can, I will head outside, where I have more room to wander around! I will also do this when messaging/emailing, at tense plot moments while watching television, when writing poetry, and sometimes even when writing replies on Micro.blog (always fun when I’m replying from the desktop!). I guess it’s probably a mix of nerves (communication is in many ways uncomfortable, plus the part about tense plot moments) and thinking, so the nervous energy gets spent and the brain gets going?

@smokey You definitely have me beat on all of that. Mine is primarily when on the phone (which I try to avoid at all costs).
