Honestly I couldn’t tell you. I didn’t realize this was considered not normal until I was in high school. During a quiet class, I was shaking my leg with such force that the people around me could feel the vibrations and pointed it out. I was completely unaware and had just been doing it subconsciously. But now I was fully aware of it.

Ever since I just find myself doing it all the time, sitting or lying down. Sometimes I stop myself on purpose and find that my leg does feel, “funny” if I don’t shake it. Not painful or anything, but just some urge that I have to move it again. Other times I go full days without shaking (I think). Maybe I have some underlying condition or maybe it’s just out of habit. Who knows 🤷‍♀️
