Can't Sit Still

I have a really bad habit of moving around in my seat while sitting in class. It's always during the times where we're supposed to be still, like watching a movie. I feel like a first grader or something. I'm sure it bothers the people behind me. Does that happen to you? I feel like I'm the only one that does it.

Don't worry, even though it doesn't seem like it, a lot of people do this. You never notice anyone else squirming around, even though they are. There's not much reason they'd notice that you are too.

Well, I hope that nobody notices me. I hate it when I distract other people while they're trying to learn.

I do that too! I get really restless during class, especially if it's a class that lasts longer than an hour. I kind of squirm around and I move my legs around a lot. lol Don't worry, you're not alone! hehe

I always dread signing up for classes more than an hour long. I'm such a fidgety person. I can't even sit at home without moving around a lot.

well when I si in a class I keep my eyes glued to the teacher so that she/he thinks that I am concentrating,while I'd actually be sleeping.LOL.. AND since I am always a first bencher I can't keep moving so I keep myself glued to the seat and my eyes on the teacher..

lol. Well, I don't sleep in class. Thankfully. I can't look at the professor the whole time, that would make me uneasy. I've tried a lot of things, but I still can't seem to sit still.

I do the same thing! I'm really fidgety, sometimes I feel like I have ADD or something. While everyone else is sitting stone still I'm always changing position, crossing and uncrossing my legs, moving my hands a million times... I try to tell myself I'm just uncomfortable but I don't understand how everyone can sit so still in a classroom for an hour or usually more. I also have the habit of like, bouncing/shaking my leg or playing with my hair. Well, I'm glad I'm not the only person who does this...

I am very fidgety in class. I can only sit still for so long until I start to move around and I am ready to get out of there. I had a 3 1/2 hour Economics class once and it was nearly impossible to sit still in that class. If I'm not moving in my seat then I am moving my legs. You're definitely not the only one that does it!

Normally, I start fidgeting after 45 minutes. It never fails.
