I did it tonight in my event with some kids from church. I was excited and flapped my hands on my head, and made a weird face. Then this jerk called me out and I was so embarrassed. Sometimes I can't help it. Does anyone else feel the same way?

I used to do that, as a kid.

I don't think anyone ever said anything, and I never really realised it was un-cool, just stopped doing it one day.

It's nice that something has made you that happy! Shame some peeps have to pick on you for it.

I flapped my hands in class one day in college. I didn't mean to, it just happened. The teacher sort of made fun of me. It was really embarassing.

I have this thing where I wiggle my fingers if I'm reading or watching television...I used to do it a lot as a kid. I don't do it in public anymore but I used to as a kid.

I always do it. Nobody has ever called me out over it, though.

I twitch my toes at times, and flap my index finger sometimes. But I dont use my entire hand.

Of course. Though it's due to being overwhelmed.

I tend to curl my hand up against my chest rather than flap though.

Flapping like imitating flying is my "I am eggsited" eggspression mannerism. It comes with a spin, for those eggstra eggspecial moments of eggstra eggsitement.

Noe, never. Well, I get odd looks anyway all the time, so I might aswell say I always dance around spastically when I'm out in public, because people look at me the same way (when I'm being normal) as they do with people doing something noticably out of the ordinary. Heh heh.....

OK, I got to laugh, otherwise I will cry. Or scream.
