    Me: Causally sitting, leg bouncing is almost a blur My Mother: stop shaking your leg My GF: stop shaking your leg My Teachers(all of them): Stop shaking your leg Me: starts tapping pens and pencils or drumming fingers on any and all surfaces | Repeat above constant nagging ad nauseam

    When I did stop, it adversely affected my mood and mental stability. Do you know how hard it is to stop doing that, it literally (not figuratively) took ALL my concentration to stop and the second I let my mind wander to something pleasant or interesting the leg starts up again
