when I'm talking on the phone.

I don't know why I do this. I just can't help it. I just start pacing and walking around as soon as I say "hello".
Sometimes I'll end up in a completely different part of the house.
This really started to get out of control when cordless phones came out. without that phone cord present to tether me to one spot, I'll just roam all over the damn place.

I have a real problem, and I need help

I too, do this.

I only do it with impromptu conversations that I'm not prepared for though.

I do this all the time

At first it was just when I was talking to girl, maybe because it helped calmed my nerves or something

But now I do it almost all the time

When I sprained my ankle and was on crutches for a few weeks, I was incredibly unproductive

what's worse is I'll be sitting on the couch when the phone rings. I'll answer, STAND UP, and start walking....

I do the same thing. I can't stop myself. Part of it is getting away from the TV or other people to have a clearer conversation but other times i dunno

They actually teach this in a lot of sales training because it helps you think quicker on your feet.

Worst is when I'm talking in the phone while defacating

I'll get up and start walking and I inevitably end up tripping and falling due the the restrictions of my pants around my ankles, or just kicking them off completely and just walking around buttass

I was talking on the phone last night with my mom. I started off in the office, and started running laps between the guestroom, bedroom, and bathroom.
Didn't even realize what I was doing until I hear G yell from downstairs "STOP PACING!"

part of me felt like a doofus. the other part of me wanted to go downstairs and punch her in the stomach.

this is actually one of the main reasons I opted for the 2 bedroom, for maximum pacing room

I pretty much always get up and go outside and walk around, I don't know why. I wonder why it's so common?

I pace around as well. I'll also pace when I'm brushing my teeth.

Also when on the phone. I think it helps me focus. If I'm in front of the TV or computer sometimes I'll miss parts of the phone call because I'm listening to the TV or reading something.
