When ever I walk in a public place, I need to hold something in my hand to feel comfortable while I am walking. I usually hold my phone, however I am not a guy who is constantly glued to my phone. I don't use it while I am walking I just hold it in my hand. If I don't hold it in my hand I feel like I'm walking funny. IIN?
voted yes right away, I'm the same. for me I feel like my arm swaying movement is just wrong and awkward when walking empty handed. that's why I always hold something like rolled paper or phone/bottle etc or put my hands in pockets. otherwise it feels so weird like my arms have no natural movement when not holding somethinf
I guess I know what you mean. If I have something bulky in my left hand (my notepad or tablet) when I walk, I feel more balanced. Maybe it's like that thing where tightrope walkers carry a stick for balance.
I can't go out for a walk without a bag. Even if I'm just walking for the sake of walking, I'll take my handbag. I think I just don't know what to do with my arms if I don't.
Maybe you just like having something to hold onto. Sounds harmless.
I can walk without something in my hand, but I have noticed that I do this. Usually it's a bus pass. It's just a little piece of paper but I don't usually chuck it away until a couple of hours later. During that time I kind of just fiddle on with it, fold it, rip it a bit, scrumple it up in a ball and fidget with it. And if I'm walking then I'll just hold onto it. It's not noticeable in my situation but I don't think it's normal:P.
