Some people talk with their hands. I talk with my hands sometimes, especially when i'm describing something. But I know there are some people that have to use their hands all the time. Are you one who has to talk with your hands???

Yeah I do use them to talk. I didn't notice it before but now I am using them even more. There are times when I don't even know what to do with my hands. Like when I'm walking I need to have a pocket somewhere so I could just stick them in there or I'll hook my fingers into my bookbag. So it's weird because when I'm walking I don't know what to do with my hands but when I am talking they are all over the place.

i used my to talk instead my mouth. i learned sign language and it is useful you can talk to mute and deaf by your hand. My hand always talk by pressing different letters on my keyboard to talk somebody online. LOL

yeah, because usually when i talk ill mix together either 2 words im going to say one after the other, or 2 possible words for that spot in the sentence. for instance, in the previous sentence i could have said place instead of spot, and when im talking sometimes ill mess up and combine the two possibilities and say something like splace, so it helps a lot when i can use my hands and people can still understand me.
