I know I do when I'm explaining things or trying to emphasize something, but I really want to stop because I personally get really annoyed when people talk too animatedly. It's distracting.
Yes. I always talk with my hands. I can't help it. If I don't want them moving around, I will put them at my sides but they usually end up moving on their own or playing with something like my sleeve.
Everyone does to some extent, but I don't do it all that much. For the end of elementary school and most of high school, I lived in a pretty Italian area and half of every conversation would be vigorous hand gestures so I became pretty conscious of the fact that I rarely used them in comparison. So that pretty much set the bar for noticeable gestures for me and I don't notice anyone's anymore haha.
