I will use hand gestures to make others more understand about what i'm saying. It's uncontrollable action. Sometime we notice it and sometime not. But most of the time, we can see all the peoples do the hand gestures, especially teacher, lecturer and person related with direct speech.

I used to hand gesture a lot in the past but I'm not sure when, I just stopped, I might gesticulate but now it's much more rare. I really don't know why I stopped, but I used to gesture a lot and sometimes poke a person in the arm untill I'd get their attention, sometimes I'd poke them so much I'd unconsciously keep doing through the conversation until I'd start to gesticulate on something.

I always use my hands to talk..always. I think I'm pretty bad at that, but then again, that's just part of my personality. I do it so often, I don't realize I'm doing it. Sometimes people point it out and I'm like what are you talking about? And when I realize it, I try to stop myself from doing it, but I just can't.

Yes, I do that all the time. I just don't know why but I feel myself kind of unconfortable if I just keep my hands still. A very close friend of mind even used to say that it would be impossible for me to speak with my hans tied up... :) I guess he's right..

Yes, I do that all the time, I just find myself kind of uncomfortable if I don't move my hands while speaking... I remember a close frin of mine saying that it should be impossible for me to speak if having my hands tied up...
