Yes, i do. I didnt know what it was until i read about it, though. When I get really excited, I flap my hands and stand on my toes and kind of bounce up and down. I also twitch my fingers.

i never do it privately or publicly, I dont have any weird impulses.

My main issue is the emotional maturity level which my "peers" (are they really?)
have reached, which continues to elude me.

Yes, it usually happens when I'm excited or sometimes frustrated.

It is great for stress relief and continues good moods, so sometimes yes.

Wow...

I do that, when I feel very excited about something. I make sure no one can see me though, unless I'm with an equally excited friend or something.

I don't hand-flap, but I do... arm-things? Like, I'll hold my arms up over my head or spread them out like I'm pretending to be an airplane, usually while I'm walking along.

This generally accompanies some kind of elation, or if I'm trying to relax after an intensely stressful/anxious time. Very much feels like I'm shrugging off the tension. Smile
