Charles Bukowski posted: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.

Charles Bukowski posted:Oh I'm in no pain, it's much more comfortable to walk tippy reverse pigeon toed than to try and emulate normies. Only thing I need to remember is to not stand and bend straight when I'm doing squats and stuff, I need to have my feet and knees cockeyed or I will fall. I'd still double check with a specialist, just because it doesn't hurt now, doesn't mean it won't later. Maybe the doctor will say you're all good and you can keep doing your cool unique walk. However they may say "Oh yeah, when you hit 65 your knees and lower back will be turbofucked and you'll spend your days in complete agony praying for the sweet release of death. Here's some little things to put in your shoes to make that not happen." Best to find out just in case imo.
