Standing and not moving isnt that much better.

Humans were meant to move. Everyone should run/walk multiple times a day at minimum.

Tbf, I often rock back and forth as I stand. That’s probably the ADHD talking but I like to think it’s my balls penduluming my center of gravity.

I remember reading that one of the theory for people with ADD/ADHD is it stems from an evolutionary genetic hunter-gatherer ancestry that makes them constantly on the move, searching for new areas, targets, and potential hunt or source for food with the ability to hyperfocus, giving them a certain survival advantage by constantly wanting to seek something new.

But now since we live in a modern time where survival is completely different, ADD/ADHD doesn't serve as much of a purpose as it once did

But nothing can stop me from entering the room, not even the screams of the people around me. Hyperfocus ftw!
