In my younger years (say, age 0-6) I had incredibly good posture-- uncommonly so.

But after that, it became worse and worse. Now I frequently slouch. But my back isn't too strong in the first place.

I've always had horrible posture. Sitting up straight and proper just dosen't feel comfortable for me.

I have terrible posture when seated, when alone I slouch to the point that my lower back is straight, and flat against the seat of my chair. Around age twelve I forced myself to develop a good standing posture which has remained more or less intact to this day.

I have such bad posture... I always look slighty hunched.

I'm a permanent slouch. It takes too much effort to appear perky; slouching just feels 'natural'.

I slouch so badly my cat sometimes falls asleep on my back.

And the way i walk is described as the portrait of lurking.
