Are there things that you purposely do - or can't help but do - in high pressure situations? Let me get the ball rolling so that y'all can get a better understanding of what this thread is about!
1.) In any tight-scoring lacrosse game, I find myself constantly shuffling my feet back and forth when the ball isn't on my side of the field. It's definitely an involuntary action, and I've always had my teammates tell me that I do it as well. I think I do it because of jitters, but I'm not too sure. Usually I'm just racking through my brain, trying to figure out how the offense is going to play out, so I start to shuffle my feet.
2.) I ran for Homecoming Queen my senior year of High School. I had to present a speech to the senior class, and my speech was between 1-2 minutes in length. In that short span of time, I managed to push my hair behind my ears about 20-30 times. My friends in the audience were counting. :bleh: This is also involuntary for me, because I had no idea that I had done it so many times until after my friends told me about it!
3.) When I'm angry or frustrated at someone, and I can't get in a word - and I just so happen to be standing while this is happening - I hoist myself up onto my tippy-toes. This is definitely one of my wierder movements in any given situation, and I personally cannot decide if it's voluntary or not!
Anybody else got any little quirks when they find themselves in a tough situation?
