I have suffered from disabling calf pain when walking since I was at high school, but only when walking alone. I’m actually very fit. There’s nothing wrong with my legs. So I always thought it was an odd psychological issue.
Recently I’ve noticed that when I’m walking with other people or when walking alone but absorbed in something, I literally walk with a different gait and have no pain. So I wonder if this is my true, unmasked, unconscious gait. It’s like I walk when I’m around the house.

Yes I think that you are correct in your analysis. Pelvis means "bowl" in Latin (interesting Greek and prior origins too!) funny thing to consider - but you are in it :-) The leggy bits underneath it provide the "buoyancy" to support it. If the waves and such are wafting that bowl in the mutually desired direction then plain sailing. I have never been a sailor however I would observe that it is probably easier to sail in a group, equally easier if the captain is in a good frame of mind. Not so easy if the captain says one way but the boat and crew say another maybe... perhaps that's the odd psychological issue you describe?
