I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I’m like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.
Bored toddler.
Slouched forward shoulders, weight on my heels, head back with a pained expression and small crying sounds.
Definitely lighting a cig (don’t smoke kids)
Holding my left elbow with my right hand. Idk why, but I always do this gesture. People keep thinking I’m some sort of shy, femboyish think, which, in a transphobic environment does lead to some weird looks.
It looks especially funny with a bright purple bucket hat, dark green oversized sweater (for Brits: jumper), black fanny pack, black leggins, and New Balance shoes. Hmm… maybe I should start wearing this in real life.
I like how you translated sweater, but not fanny pack.
You might want to look up what “fanny” means in British English! Lol
I intentionally didn’t do it to avoid potentially witnessing any swear words.
Apologies to all the Brits who came across my comment.
Bopping to my own head tunes
Fidgeting
Stretching
Balancing on one leg in different ways
Sitting low on a couch, legs crossed on a stool, bouncing the top foot.
Doom scrolling on my phone.
cracking my back
restless leg syndrome
I already have idle animations like video games. See Karlach
Fiddling with my clothes/hair/anything within reach. For the big “fancy” idle animations that trigger after like 5 minutes of inactivity, I’d bust out my knitting/crochet or a book.
Like everyone else in the western world, looking at my phone.
This is the most accurate answer for 80% of the people on the internet.
Doomscrolling.
Have there been any video games that have done this for an idle animation?
At the top of my head I know Overwatch has looking at phone emotes but it’s not an automatic idle animation
Going Under does this
IIRC, the Sims sometimes check their phones in the Sims 4. Sometimes even while walking somewhere.
Someone should mod this into Cyberpunk
Standing around awkwardly with my hands in my pocket, because I don’t know what else to do with them.
Sitting at my desk, thinking about how nice it must be outside.
Sleeping. Possibly borrito’d into a blanket.
