So quite often I’ll bump into chairs, knock my head into things, stub my toes into stuff, etc.
A lot of the time I “side swipe” stuff. Grazing chairs and things, partially bumping into things, or causing stuff that’s near the edges of tables to come crashing to the floor.
I think that’s called “dyspraxia”? Although I don’t have trouble with riding bikes or operating motorized equipment. I’m also fine with moving around and manipulating objects. I suppose I am kinda crap at catching objects?
I’m guessing it’s a pathfinding thing where my subconscious has a mediocre way of keeping track of objects around me.
This is probably part of the reason I can get really lost in 3D video games, especially the older ones.
Metal of Honor: Rising Sun was 👌especially👌 irritating, especially with that Guadalcanal level. That one was pure ASS.
Locating specific map locations from walkthrough videos is quite difficult.
Other then the annoyance of bumping into things, I don’t think about it.
Unless, of course, someone (my mom), goes all “uGh! WaTcH wHeRe YoU’rE gOiNg!”
That instantly pisses me off.
Is it the ADHD walk?
I feel called out
Did not know this was a thing holy fuck, I thought I just walked like that for no real reason
I have pretty strong spatial awareness, but maybe that’s just a skill that’s grown strong by necessity. I generally want to avoid being in anyone’s way, but also will weave through a crowded area like it’s a fun game. Probably related to
too.
Omg this is me! I LOVE THICK CROWDS! ZigZagZigZagZigZag
I do this and then still bump into the thing
Yes, doors and sideboards do this to me a lot, but at least all the wonderful little ADHD gremlins in my phone assure me i am not alone in the war on furniture.
I wear glasses, I don’t know what’s happening below my eyeline!
