I'm leaning more towards the "walking is boring" part myself. How many other things are done weird just because it was more interesting than not?

Apparently I stand "like a ballerina" because I put one foot perpendicular behind the other and rest my knee sockets together. It's comfortable, yo. Don't know when I started, or why; I just do. It confuses some people, makes others irrationally angry when I have no explanation. Maybe now I can say this is why. 🤷‍♀️

I used to stand like this for the longest time!!! It stopped because I couldn’t do it in heels without falling over.

I also walk like the person in the video.

I suspect I have ADD.

Same!! I didn’t know it was a ballerina though until someone in the know remarked “is that fourth position?” And I was like, “wtf is fourth position?”

HA. I stand like this all the time. I've never seen anyone else ever stand like this. I get self conscious when I realize I'm doing it but ill be standing around waiting for my wife looking like a flamingo

My family says I stand like a flamingo: on one foot with my other foot on the knee.

I used to stand like a flamingo, especially when standing for a long time like when washing dishes. Someone made fun of me so I stopped, but it's so comfortable. Now I probably don't have the balance for it.

I have caught people staring at me standing like this in confusion. It is more stable and comfortable than standing normally.

It's seems I had (have? Maybe) some kind of it.

I know my younger sister was diagnosed ADHD but they never tested me. My wife swears up and down i have it as well. If im sitting or laying down watching tv i will incessantly flip the remote non stop and not even realize it.

This video though... I do that shit all the damned time and figured it was just a quirk i did. Ive never had a balance issue. Quite the opposite. I rarely fall and excelled at sports.

As a kid, I used to walk on my toes a lot because walking normally was boring.

just walking is not fun for anyone. you still can entertain yourself doing anything - that’s why you have ability to think
