I noticed that when Japanese people are on TV, especially when they're speaking into the camera or giving a presentation, they do a lot of motions that are like halfway between a bow and a nod. Like a miniature bow or an extra deep nod. Then I realized this isn't any weirder than how Americans on TV like to shake their heads when they're saying they like something

people saying 'actually' in the context of 'it's actually very good'. like i realise of course, we're above this stupid thing whatever it is, but in this case i deign to make an exception to taste and proclaim it's good enough, as an authority on good stuff

when i say people i mean me. i hate it.

Similarly, people who apply both emphasizing and deemphasizing qualifiers to the same statement. "It's kind of a big problem." "I really sort of think that we should go." I even occasionally hear people use "big" and "little" to describe the same thing in the same sentence.

My legs and feet turn outward so I walk and bend weird. I also tend to put all my weight on the balls of my feet so I walk tiptoed as well. It is exhausting trying to force myself to walk like everyone else in public, but I've always been terrified of not doing so. I can imagine some sort of horrible bullying event happened continuously and I've long blocked it out. I'm 35 and people still comment about it and I feel so embarrassed despite haaaaating caring about other people's opinions. I'm sure this will be a problem until I'm dead and I'm already in therapy.

I would talk to a doctor about that, you can probably fix it to some degree with orthotics, or at least they may make walking a bit more comfortable. The gait you describe probably isn't great for your joints and could cause you worse issues when you're older.
