I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I’m like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.
Standing around awkwardly with my hands in my pocket, because I don’t know what else to do with them.
Sitting at my desk, thinking about how nice it must be outside.
Holding my left elbow with my right hand. Idk why, but I always do this gesture. People keep thinking I’m some sort of shy, femboyish think, which, in a transphobic environment does lead to some weird looks.
It looks especially funny with a bright purple bucket hat, dark green oversized sweater (for Brits: jumper), black fanny pack, black leggins, and New Balance shoes. Hmm… maybe I should start wearing this in real life.
I like how you translated sweater, but not fanny pack.
You might want to look up what “fanny” means in British English! Lol
I intentionally didn’t do it to avoid potentially witnessing any swear words.
Apologies to all the Brits who came across my comment.
Bored toddler.
Slouched forward shoulders, weight on my heels, head back with a pained expression and small crying sounds.
Sitting down and bouncing my leg.
Bopping to my own head tunes
Fidgeting
Stretching
Balancing on one leg in different ways
Doom scrolling on my phone.
Sitting low on a couch, legs crossed on a stool, bouncing the top foot.

I already have idle animations like video games. See Karlach
Like everyone else in the western world, looking at my phone.
This is the most accurate answer for 80% of the people on the internet.
Have there been any video games that have done this for an idle animation?
Going Under does this
At the top of my head I know Overwatch has looking at phone emotes but it’s not an automatic idle animation
Someone should mod this into Cyberpunk
IIRC, the Sims sometimes check their phones in the Sims 4. Sometimes even while walking somewhere.
Doomscrolling.
I do have one, I kinda sway/swing my hips/upperbody like this
Picking at my cuticles and cracking all my joints, while staring into the middle distance.
