I am exactly like this! I do that too! I have to go outside several times a day and walk, but I can do it alone and don't have to have a particular goal, it's just walking to burn off restlessness, and so that I am not always sitting or inside a building.
Yup. With no goal in mind. That's exactly how it is and why I do it.
Hey we're both in L.A... We should be walking buddies.
I think boredom and restlessness are two different things, like IndyAnnaJoan touched on...restlessness almost seems more physical, like you aren't getting enough exercise or sunlight or interaction with other people? I also think I get restless when I'm sleep deprived...I experience it as being "boredom" but it's my brain's way of saying "let's go to sleep now." Either that or being so tired that you're wired, that kind of thing.
I get cabin fever when it rains heavily every day or if I try to stay inside for more than half a day, and/or if I don't have any real-time interaction with other people.
Yeah, I think I tend to mix the two up sometimes. I guess it's because when I get that restless feeling I can't tell what it is sometimes so I think to myself, "Am I bored or something?" Why do I feel like this?" I feel better now though remembering that there's a distinction. I just don't like when my mind and body aren't in sync like that.
