Hyperactive
Hyperactivity means to be overly active - the word 'hyper' means higher so it's higher than normal activity. It means you might find it hard to sit still, fidget all the time or have trouble finishing tasks. Hyperactivity is a symptom of a condition called ADHD, but you can be hyperactive without having ADHD.
