Do you ever pace back and forth or walk in a circle?

Yes, this is one of my most prominent stims.

I pace back & forth nearly everyday.... almost always when I'm alone. I don't walk in a circle becaue our place isn't big enough & there's no room, but if there was, I don't know whether I would or not.

Yes. Straight line back and fourth, sometimes elliptical.

Eh, for me , its not so much pacing as i wander around in a fairly small area, i usually do it when i'm bored or thinking about something. Its weird, i can think better when i'm walking...

Yes. Often. Especially when waiting for something or frustrated.

A few years ago when I was quite "bad", I'd walk around in large circles on the driveway outside of the house for most of the day (well, daylight). I did this every day for about six months.

I pace back and forth when I'm out and about when I'm not doing anything, and stepping over cracks where available, of course.

I do this all the time, but it is often in a circular motion covering multiple rooms.

I'm always walking backwards and forwards.

I always pace back and forth while waiting for trains or buses. Throughout most of my childhood, I would listen to music, and while listening I would walk in a circle, over and over again. (Always the same circle). I did this every day, for hours usually. It was like a compulsion.

I pace often, when I'm bored or listening to music usually. I sometimes just step backwards and fowards or I wonder round a larger area in a circle.

Yes, I waste so much time doing this lol. Pacing in too tight a circle will make my joints feel uncomfortable though, so I can't continue indefinitely.

Yes, I pace all the time...have done since whenever.
