When I was younger I used to walk focussing on the pavement (to avoid looking at others in the dubuious hope they would not look at me as I attracted bullies like a magnet) so had a slightly hunched over walk.
I also find that if I actually think about how I walk I nearly forget how to do it and become quite robotic - I need to dissociate slightly to let the automatic motor functions kick in and seem vaguely normal again.
Ever come across the term "tall poppy syndrome" Iain ? Typically autistic perhaps however I tend to take the analysis literally. No coincidence that the physiological capability of carrying one's head high has a relationship to confidence. The poem says: "if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you etc" Clever person that Kipling - :-)
