Animals in captivity pace their living areas, an expression of anxiety.
But also an ADHD thing, I do this all day while thinking or on the phone. I have to turn off my camera for meetings because I tend to wander in and out of frame while I listen and ponder.

I exclusively do this while on the phone. I don't typically do it otherwise.

If I'm alone I tend to walk in circles inside for like 0.5-1 hour or more thinking about stuff (with or without music). It's soothing😌
I also pace when waiting bus etc.
(Even when I sit I pace some times.🫣 Leg goes up and down.)

I can stop pacing anytime I want, I swear.
