Anyone else walk really fast?
I constantly get comments about how fast I walk. Like, it’s not a run or a sprint—I walk kind of funny but other than that it’s a normal walking gait, just sped up. I walk so fast that when I have it in me, I can keep pace with my friends when they’re on their bikes.
I also like listening to metal or hard rock while I’m walking, and matching my pace to the drum beat or something. It makes me feel awesome.
Yeah I really don't like the slow meandering people like to do and have places I'm trying to go, so I usually walk pretty fast.

Okay not that fast
Holy fucking balls I hate slow meandering people who block every possible way of passing them, or who walk at such a pace and distance that you have to slow to a crawl. I will actually cross a busy major street to avoid walking behind someone (either because of this problem, or because I feel really uncomfortable walking behind people a lot of times).
I walk everywhere so I wanna get there kinda fast.
Anyone else walk really fast
Yes, and it's not even like I'm trying to rush, it's just my walking pace.

Yep, I'll do it with walking, running, hiking, and it feels great!
Most people walk with really mincing steps not using their full stride even when walking at their 'top speed' you really gotta swing those hams if you wanna walk properly
I always see this, someone people's feet fall like half way past their planted foot, you can do so much more with a stride, why are you being a penguin?
I've tried to match the same footfall (timing my right to their right, my left to their left) of people walking ahead of me and it's like they're walking with a rubber band tied around their ankles I don't get it. I'm not even talking about people going for a casual stroll, I mean people going hell for leather trying on a morning commute. I want to open their world
what if people could use 100% of their leg
This has always bothered me a little bit. I'm tall with long legs and tend to outspeed people at what is a relaxed normal stride for me.
I contend that my pace is average, I just move fast because my stride is huge.
yeah i gay walk everywhere if I'm on my own. i can hit a really good pace if I'm in a rush. if im with my gfs they're asking me to slow down sometimes. i live in a busy city and have utter disdain for slow walkers.
Yep. I walk faster than anyone I know. I'm trying to be better about letting the other walker(s) lead so I can be in on whatever conversation they're having.
Yes and I have lengthy struggle sessions with myself over whether this indicates narcissistic traits in my personality. To be clear I am not suggesting that this is the case for anyone else who walks faster than their companions. But I've really beat myself up over it at times.
I'm marginally better at matching my pace to whoever I'm walking with now. But yeah. Keep up damnit.
When I'm being most truthful with myself I think it stems from anxiety and is related to my hypervigilance. Sometimes I yearn for a past relationship with a woman who was wired the same way. We would flow through crowds together and it felt amazing.
Also I just have long legs and it feels bad and restrictive to walk slow. But that's my problem to deal with not to foist on the people I'm walking with who might be struggling to keep up.
... I have really deep demons around this stuff.
I have the opposite problem... I have zero sense of urgency.
It's got nothing to do with urgency at all for me, my normal walking speed is just really really fast. If there's anything worth lingering for, I'll just stop
I'm an old man.
I pass joggers regularly. My legs are fucking BUFF and carrying a fairly skinny and smol rest of my body. I'm built like a GEKKO from mgs4. My favorite job ever would be Guy That Has To Carry A Scroll From One Castle to Another
Yeah, to the point that it can be frustrating to go on walks with people (for everyone involved). I'm not ay all in good shape, but whenever I go on hikes my natural walking pace is apparently a death march for most people so they have to ask me to slow down and then I end up feeling kinda restless. It seems like people equate walking fast with not being relaxed, but idk, it's just the speed I feel comfortable at and I walk that fast even if I'm strolling aimlessly.
Yeah, for some reason all my friends growing up were rather tall, I think that's where I get it from

You don't walk kinda funny, you walk very funny. That's why people keep pointing it out. If you don't care, more power to you. If you want the comments to stop, walk more like everyone else.
No u.
