walking fast or running

Post Reply New Topic

does anyone else walk extremely fast, or sometimes even run to where you need to go? I do. I even run down the hallways at school sometimes. I got teased a lot for it, and I do not blame people. There's just something about walking slowly that I hate.

I walk at a quick pace, but I think my gait is off. People have asked me "why do you walk like that?" and I don't know what they mean. People have also laughed at the way I run. Anyway, most people can out pace me.

I always walked mych faster then most others, endlessly annoying as I want others to walk faster, and others want me to slow down.

When I was a student, I would walk as rapidly through hallways as I could. Didn't want to linger, it's a gauntlet (of potential terrors) to be hurried through-in hopes one isn't slowed & snagged. Was a noticeable behavioral feature in me back then, for many years of my schooling. Don't like to waste time getting somewhere, when the journey isn't of interest & is (socially or otherwise) hazardous-so am motivated to move quickly & get it over with. Travel time annoys me, such a hassle-want to get there, be there already (a la "transporter" beam).

For short time (in 7th grade) was also a fast-talker, it was reason (for others) both to like & dislike me. Got a certificate at year's end, from my English teacher for being the fastest talker (though that skill left when I stopped working at it).

I used to absolutely HATE IT I remember just walking seeing where I needed to go and thinking AHHHHHHH it's talking soooo long walking when I'd be there in like five secs if I run. I choose not to though.

Ah man! YES! I always walk like I'm trying to get somewhere... even when I'm just aimlessly wandering around. I never thought that was an aspie thing, though...

...are any of you guys always early for stuff, too? I get really aggiated immediately before I have to be somewhere, so I'm always like at east ten minutes early for appointments etc... just because I get antsy and leave early. Haha I've ruined a couple of dates by showing up like an hour early to somewhere with a bar.

Yes.

I walk fast when I'm going anywhere. I don't purposely try to, it's just how i've walked my whole life. I might have inherited this from my mother, who is also a very fast walker.

I do that and also when I see patterns on the floor or tiles I sometimes step over them in patterns, like if theres black ones i'll stay on the white ones and step over the black ones.

I got teased for running at school, too. I just love to run, plain and simple.

I got teased for running at school before, and once I was going from my bus into the mall, and an old friend saw me and said she wouldn't have seen me if I hadn't been running so hard, and I realized I was doing something wierd and stopped doing it. I still prefer to run sometimes but I never ever do it... social anxiety. It gets to me not to be able to move the way I want to. I couldn't even squirm in bed a lot of the time because I slept in the same room as my mother and often in the same bed, and it would disturb her.

I often have the urge to run. Whenever possible, I do.

Something like, running home from the bus or running to catch the bus... or running to class when I'm late again!

I know I like running because it is a faster than plain walking. I can be home in 1 minute when I run or home in 3 minutes when I walk - I mostly prefer that this dull task only lasts 1 minute.

I would walk fast sometimes and my mother said it looked wierd. Which discouraged me from doing it and made me so self-conscious of how I walked and blinked and EVERYTHING; how I looked walking down the street, if I even knew how to walk. Did I look odd or mentally challenged? It was NOT fun. I still have that sometimes thanks to critical people in my past! My father would make a big deal about how my mother and I stomped when we walked and is like, "THIS is how you walk." Okay, well, we have other things on our mind and in our lives, okay? Thanks for telling us, but give it a rest! I should have told him all that. But I didn't. So I became so nervous about looking dorky around him that I spent more and more time in my room!
