Why Do I Walk Like That?

I’ve always been criticized about the way I walk. My friend Alex tells me I walk like I’m on the catwalk in Milan, even when I’m just stepping out to check the mail. In my mind, I am walking the catwalk in Milan because that is how I feel. I feel fabulous, therefore I walk as such.

I noticed this last week, when I was thinking about whether the way people walk has anything to do with their personality types. It’s very true for me, as I tend to walk fast and am a fast person in everything I do. I walk fast, I talk fast, I eat fast, and I think fast.

Alex walks neat, if that makes any sense. He doesn’t walk like your typical gay man, but rather with an aura of “I have something to do, and I’m going to do it, neatly.”

People often assume the way someone drives tells a lot about their personality. I drive aggressively but carefully, like I am in a Jason Statham movie. I feel that every action and every single movement of ours tells a story.

That being said, we should pay closer attention to the way we walk in different settings. I absolutely feel like I wouldn’t hire anyone who walked too slow or way too fast because in my head, that person is either slow or bipolar.

Think about it, how do you walk, and what is your personality type? Do you think they correlate in any way? Let me know your thoughts!
