What do you do when your excited or happy?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you handflap, clap excessively, jump up and down, twirl around in circles, run on your tippy toes, giggle uncontrollably, make screaming noises, rock back and forth, air type with your fingers......What do you do when your excited or happy? I clap a lot, jump up and down, twirl in circles and run around on my tippy toes !

Being Normal Is Vastly Overrated

Ive thought that I had reasons to be excited about something before. I jump, do stuff with my arms (almost like waving), make noises, talk outloud to myself and pace. I actually smile and dont care too.

Whenever I'm happy-excited, I want to run outside and jump up and look into the sun and scream with joy! But I can't do that. I live in a city! So, I repress it.

I don't really anything in particular. Usually, I just post on WP (or any other forum) and inform people of the momentous occasion.

I have a bad habit of hand flapping when I get excited. I can't really help it. It just happens.

depending on how excited or happy, i usually shake/flap my arms(always), rock back and forth, the faster the happier i am(i do this for the stronger emotions i think, so i usually do), jump (usually), hold my breath(most times), run around(if very happy/excited) or pace(usually/always, but i do it always anyway), cover my eyes/put my head down and put my arms over (sometimes/if I'm at a desk or table) scream (not too much, more of an internal suppressed scream) Sometimes i may not even react, i could be the happiest kid in the state and apparently look depressed, I'm not good at expressing things on the outside
a few years ago this kid in my class for two years came up to me and asked why i never smile, she'd never seen me smile. shocked, i laughed, all this time i though i looked happy, and smiley i wasn't, and that was a happy year for me

i do always do the arm or hand flap thing though, and the rocking thing, and hold my breath, i don't even notice half the time until someone asks me if i'm alright

I flap. And smile.

I talk fast and fidget a lot and climb on things if there is something to climb on, and move pretty fast.

I shake, and I maybe giggle a little bit.

When I'm overexcited in relation to being in my fantasy world or seeing something House-related that fuels my obsession, I stim by moving my fingers rapidly, pacing, and sometimes kind of falling onto my bed. This doesn't happen when I'm just excited in general - about a test grade or something. It only happens in reference to my obsessions or when I reach a state of hyper excitement caused by fantasizing.

Talk excessively or blog depending on my company and comfort level.

My daughter (aspie) screams and jumps and makes pitchy vocal sounds.

My son (autie) flaps and toe walks, occasionally shreiks or squeals.

When I am happy I hum...according to other people I also do kind of a "prance" when I walk. I have no idea how it looks like though

When I am excited I usually flap my hands...sometimes laugh. Nothing "that" out of the ordinary

I really had to think about it, cause normally I'm the only one around me(Well, my son is around me too...but he's only two so he can't point things out. haha) and I don't often pay attention to how I behave. A lot of the time, things don't make me that excited, I normally just smile or laugh. But on the occasion that I have been that excited, I've found myself running around the apartment squealing and possibly flapping my arms. I notice that when I get that happy, I must be doing something cause it makes my son(Who is Autistic) run around flapping and squealing.
