Ive been called out on the fidgeting thing a couple times. Mostly people asking if i had too much coffee this morning which then i realize both my legs are bouncing a mile a minute and im drumming the desk like a madman. Internally though i was fine, didnt even realize i was doing it. Anyway, good luck with your testing!
I know I fidget, but always have a paper clip or something to mess with off screen or in my pocket. It wasn’t until I watched the recording of a talk I gave to high school students about our program, that it really hit home. Throughout my half hour talk the back of my chair (which is quite high) can be seen swinging from one side to another behind me. It’s green too so pretty distracting!
Oof that is so annoying when people just call you out like that... 😅
