anxiety or just gotta pee

Often austistic people or schizophrenic people will do that.
Asperger's syndrome or autism
sometimes nerves.
well one of my friends i autistic and he does it but i think rocking back and fourth soothes them
meth can do it.
Nagging women will do it. It's a learned response to help us not strangle them. It doesn't always work, but what the hey, it's a honest attempt.

It's called steming. People with developmental disabilities and emotional issues do it because it's comforting.
I don't know, but sometimes I rock back and forth when I'm trying to get to sleep for no particular reason.
