Does anyone have this?

[Daniel1987]

Hi everyone,

I don't know whether anyone experiences this, and it's quite difficult to explain, but I'll give it a try! When I have to walk past a crowd of people who I think are looking at me, or someone who makes me feel intimidated (like a bully), I feel like I'm losing the rhythm of my step and losing my balance. I just start acting weird, like I can't walk properly. And then I have to try and focus to keep my balance and walk "normally". It's so horrible having to do this all the time. Does anyone know what I mean?

Thanks

Dan

What youre posting is quite common for people like us. We walk into a crowded place and get nervous. So nervous that we overly focus on what we are doing. This happens to me all the time I have to go to shopping centers. At first I am ok then i start wondering about how I might apear to others. I then start to focus on my walking and posture which makes me lose the ryhm and start walking akwardly. This them makes me even more uncomfortable.

The weird thing is if i am in a hurry I do not have any problems.

omg I get the SAME WAY! >_< I hate it so much, cause I think people can notice that I am walking different, and then think weird things.. Because they will be like "why is she walking weird past those people?" lol I hate it, really.

Mkay, I have mild OCD, and it's sexual (fear of being a lesbian, fear of being a pedophile, fear of saying sexual things out loud, fear of losing control and kissing someone, fear of blushing. lol and I dwell on these things A LOT, making it ocd) ANYWAY!!!!!!!! Because of these fears I get that awkward walk around other women and kids. It's so retarded. I hate it. >_> Don't judge my stupid ocd. please. I hate it.

Yeah it sucks, I remember when walking to college... I'm suprised I never fell over.

i definitely know what your talking about.. it's when your super self conscious and it's pretty funny when i think about it.. It's like i suddenly forget when my legs are meant to move and i feel all wonky

So glad you guys know what I mean! If I walk past a crowd of people, I'm like, "Oh my God! They're looking at me. Just act normal. Just act normal. Come on, you're nearly past them. Just keeping walking. That's it. Good, good..." And all through this I feel like I'm walking weirdly and losing my balance. It's horrible.

This is a real disorder for all of us.. This is something that hanging there, it's real, it's a disaster. Like disable persons: think you don't have arms.... Think you are schizophrenic

I too loosing control if someone watching i am walking...

Just today..... I've passed 2 girls faster, then one of them call me "HEY..!" i turn my head and i saw the girl and i know that girl likes me... After 2 steps i start thinking, "this girl like you and now watching you and probably saying" look at him how handsome etc".....

F****G DISASTER THIS...!

I know exactly what you're talking about... But, I can't really even walk in a straight line normally. xD I joke about it.

Just get comfortable with the possibility that no matter what they think, you're fine anyway. Even if you do walk weird, or feel intimidated. Don't worry so much about how you're viewed by them - worry about how you view yourself.

Omg yeah! I feel so clumsy and i try to appear confident when i walk by holding my head up high staring ahead, but i feel clumsy and that i'm stumbling even if i am not.

Thank you . I have to try and put this into practice.
