Agreed, people will assume you are mentally ret*d if you hand-flap in public. I can usually get away with rocking very subtly though.
Yeah, but rocking is not NEARLY as foreign. I rock, my Project Manager sways, and I have a coworker I have caught doing BOTH! Interestingly, NOBODY has said anything against any of it.
I saw that kid with the basketball, flapping, etc... It looked kind of cute, and he seemed to be enjoying himself, and then I realized something. And NO OFFENSE IS MEANT HERE! You are obviously all aware of it and yourselves, etc.... But I analyzed WHY I felt as I did, and I think I found out why. I felt that way, and his mother treated him that way, because he evoked feelings of almost a playful puppy. That isn't exactly the way you want to be viewed.
HE definitely seemed LFA.
