Antsy
What is Antsy?
There's an urge to move, shift, or do something — sitting still feels almost impossible right now. Your body and mind both want to keep going, even if there's no clear direction yet. Short, active tasks or a quick movement break can help channel this energy productively.
When you might feel antsy
Antsy is a specific form of fidgety, which itself is a type of restless. You might experience this feeling in situations where restless is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define antsy.
