does anyone else do this with their hands?When ever I get mentally stimulated I catch myself doing this.

The music is to keep me stimulated by the way. 8)

I do....That is more or less exactly what I do with my hands, and variations of that with twisting, rubbing, & bending of the hands & fingers


I don't do it all the time, but definitely often. If I'm with friends or in a social setting I'll catch my self doing it frequently. Sometimes when I'm walking through a store, or when shopping and there are decisions that need to be made. I think I do it a lot in loud, chaotic, & high stimulus environments too. But I don't think music causes me to do it all that much.

I don't notice it, and to be honest I didn't start to become aware of it until I was a teenager. The only way I can describe it, I guess, is that doing this keeps my mind kinda "pulled down" and a bit more on point to what ever it is that I want or need to think/hear/say/& focus on....if that makes any sense.

Old Metallica man, you should rock out and headbang! (Not literally bang your hang against things, but you know...)
