Walking around in circles and eating.... a very disturbing habit

[The Pentium Guy]

Background info:

Ever since I was little, when I was given a problem/task I would walk around in circles (for minutes, hours) and stop only when interrupted or when finished solving that problem (I remember walking around for HOURS with the "Which Came First? The Chicken or the Egg" problem....

Then when I got older I walked around thinking about girls .... I'll leave it at that

Anyways.....
Now I've been doing this while I EAT ! While I'm not Neffing at ATOT or doing homework, I do this quite often. Been doing this since I was about 13. I walk around thinking about a heatsink I've been trying to design.

Case in point: I was at my relative's house and randomly got up and started walking around and eating.... I did this for 30 minutes. And um....they thought I was weird.

My question: Is walking around in circles while eating bad for you/your stomach/digestion?

In the past 3 weeks I've spent at least an hour a day walking in circles.

I don't think there's any problem with it physically, but you might want to start some therapy or something; it seems like there's something deeper going on.

If anything it's good exercise

Naw. I'm all set. Either that or my sarcasm meter's broken.

So there's nothing wrong physically right? I won't not digest or something ..... right?

i've always thought walking actually helps digestion

When I'm on conference calls at the house, I walk laps (kithchen -> dining room -> front room -> kitchen). Over and over until the call is done. Half the time, i don't realize I'm doing it.

Drives the wife flippin' crazy..

This is some kind of parody, right?

My wife does that it drives me nuts too. Please stop it makes us normal people nervous.

OP - If you're doing something repetitvely that you have lost conscious control of and that is interfering with your life, you should see a Dr. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

If this whole topic is not a joke, has anybody in your family been diagnosed with schizophrenia?

I believe it depends on whether he's in the norther or southern hemisphere.

..I see people doing the same thing when talking on cell phones..or swaying back and forth type mannerisms. We all have our ticks and twitches.

 

[Deeko]

I pace when I'm on the phone.

 

[MazerRackham]

I wave my hands around a lot when I talk. I also point at things.

are you really this stupid?

 

[The Pentium Guy]

Haha. Counterclockwise. No, I realize I'm doing it, don't worry I just find that doing so helps me think better(sitting down with a paper and pencil never helps me for some reason).
