Is it normal to doubt oneself when walking?

15 Comments

I sometimes over analyze myself in that i eventually doubt myself when walking. Yes walking. I understand there is no "proper" form of walking, however as i can not see myself walk from a third person view i feel as if i am walking unevenly, weird, strangely to the "norm". My body structure is normal, such that there are no physical abnormalties. Naturally walking without thinking is fine, but i can't walk without thinking. And such paranoia is worse when i walk with a slow group, i can't pace myself properly and begin to think i walk weirdly. I have mixed reviews from external sources on my walking posture.

Is it normal to think about how oneself looks to others while walking?

    You should consult the Ministry of Silly Walks.

    Ha! Thats so funny! I have a VERY similar question pending moderation. It's called "My legs malfunction when I feel that someone is watching the way I walk".

    I used to get paranoid about walking, the more paranoid I got about walking the more I walked funny and the more paranoid I got.....
    Best cure I found is just to walk funny on purpose and youll find your stride again, a hop or a jump or a sidestep stops the paranoia

    Yes it happens to me at college or when I'm on the street. I tend to stare at myself in large windows just to make sure I'm not bowlegged...I have social anxiety maybe you could too...

    I used to do that too! It's horrible, right?
    It's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, by the way.

    There is a scientific study that proves that other people judge and rate others' attractiveness based upon how they walk and appear when they walk. This may be your own mental intuition in regards to this natural rating scale.
