I've always wondered why people suddenly start to turn or swival in their chairs. Any ideas why? Nervousness is obviously one of the possible reasons but doesn't seem like a major on. I ask because a co worker suddenly started swivaling & it just seemed odd & like it shouldnt be nerves.

Just a natural reflex, I guess. Kinda like we enjoy the rocking motion (or in this case, the swiveling motion)...maybe subconsciously it brings back pleasant memories of when we were babies (being lulled to sleep, etc., etc.)...I'm a sociologist....maybe the psychologists here could provide better explanations.
Rock, baby, rock!

Well with some people it could be just plain old nervousness but with some i think it's something they may do when their thinking and don't realize their doing it.

Personally, I swivel because I can't sit still. I am always moving around, when I stand I move back and forth a lot and when I sit I bounce my knee or swivel, I also do it our of boredom.

Sometimes I just want to move, and it's fun to do that. But yeah, in my case it could also be a slight case of nerves. lol

Swiveling is fun! It breaks up the stress, seriousness, or monotony of the day! You should try it!
