FFS! WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT??Does this happen to anybody else
>>36945946
This happens to figuratively everyone else.
>>36945960
>figuratively
Eh, practically is better there
I stand by my original path, i don't move for anyone.
>>36945946
Don't move, people won't just slam into you by accident, you'll both walk slightly differently. Also don't think about it so much it just makes it worse, of you stop worrying you'll walk more naturally.
Also maybe she thought you were cute. Who knows?
>>36945946
Do you walk like pic related, OP? Moving at too high a speed can make it difficult to make course corrections
>>36946022
Thank you.
I don't like that people jam figuratively into sentences in a ham-handed manner in substitute for literally, since gratuitous use of the latter has become an English language taboo. I see this the time and neither I nor anyone else ever says a thing.
Words mean things. You're doing the Lord's work.
>>36945946
Don't move for them, stand your ground. You'll find 99% of the time they will beta out and move for you
>Someone bumps into ME
>Apologize
Pick a path and look at where you're walking. Other people will see where you're looking and know if they need to get out of your way.
>>36947334
shut the FUCK up nerd thats why nobody likes you
>>36945946
I combat this by simply noticing them in the distance then ignoring them. They then move, I don't and it looks like I don't know they are even there.
>>36947211
Not OP but I walk exactly like this. Finna kms
>>36945946
Happened twice to me today. Its uncomfortable for most people, but the building I go to everyday has very tiny halls and it often happens to everyone so we are pretty much used to it.
>>36945946
You're supposed to walk straight. They're supposed to sidestep around you.
>>36948557
>I bump into SOMEONE
>They apologize
>Walking straight
holy shit you idiots are retarded.
you're supposed to walk on the RIGHT ->
like the side you drive on
>>36948688
nice digits.
>implying I somehow don't already know that
>>36949126
I drive on the left, like a real man.
>>36949126
>staying on the right like a good avoidant cuckboy
This is why you're still a virgin.
