For some reason people who make super exaggerated body gestures all the time piss me off...

I don't know exactly what it is about it, but it just pisses me off. Like this one guy I knew, who every time he found something even remotely funny he would start clapping, jumping up and down, and laughing really loud. Like if he did this only here and there that would've been one thing, but it was EVERY time he found something even a little bit funny.

Like he couldn't just simply laugh, he would have to get up and start clapping his hands and jumping up and down. Like I get having a sense of humor is nice and all, but it just felt way over the top and too extra and unnecessary.

Almost always he was the only one laughing like this too. Meaning he stuck out a lot because usually nobody would laugh the way he did. While everyone else would sort of chuckle quietly, he'd laugh in that sort of manner.

I can't think of many other examples besides that one guy, but he was definitely the most egregious example of this.

I stopped dating a guy who had weird mannerisms especially hand mannerisms. Almost womanly. Like when he waved good bye he would wiggle his fingers and I just couldn’t get past it.
@DoubleRings Doesn't sound as bad as the guy in my example, but from what you described it seems low-key kind of weird. Not because of wiggling fingers when waving being feminine, but because it just generally seems weird/creepy. Like I think I've seen horror movie characters wiggle their fingers like that, so it low-key scares me...haha.

@DoubleRings I love it, lol. But unfortunately, most famous people I've seen having that body language appear to have shitty antisocial personalities.

@CrazyMusicLover he was hot and cold. One moment all in. The next minute “I deserve better.” He also admitted his kids were a challenge and that was another cue for me to jet. I work with difficult kids all day and I didn’t need more on my off time. Idk if he was antisocial but def “off”.
