I knew a lady who did it to such a dramatic extent that one could have been forgiven for assuming she was demonically possessed.
She also loved wearing bangles on her wrists which would subsequently rattle noisily as though some form of musical accompaniment to her conversation |

Have you ever met a fellow ‘gesticulater’ in conversation?
If so, is it like a competition with each person trying to out show the other? |

If I sit on my hands I’m speechless. In fact movement helps me flow. Even when I’m presenting I have to keep moving as my memory appears to be in my muscles. Stop moving and my words don’t flow. |
