FIDGETS Meaning and
Definition
-
Fidgets, noun (plural form of fidget)
1. Restless or nervous movements or gestures, especially those made when someone is bored, anxious, or agitated, often without conscious control or intention. It refers to the almost involuntary actions such as tapping one's fingers, twirling a pen, shuffling one's feet, or jiggling one's leg, that a person engaged in when experiencing restlessness or anxiety. These repetitive, restless behaviors may manifest as a way to relieve tension, expend surplus energy, or divert attention.
2. A feeling of uneasiness or restlessness characterized by an urge to move or engage in minor activities. Fidgets can also refer to the internal sensation of being unable to sit still or focus, accompanied by a desire to be active or do something. This restlessness often results from boredom, nervousness, or an excess of unused energy, and individuals with fidgets may find it challenging to maintain stillness or stay engaged in sedentary tasks.
The term "fidgets" can be applied to both the physical actions people exhibit and the mental state they experience. It encompasses a range of small movements or restless behaviors that serve as outlets for restless energy or nervousness. It is important to note that while fidgeting can be seen as a distraction or irritation to others, for some individuals, it can provide a means of self-soothing or focus enhancement.
