Walking too fast

[u/Old-Engineering-7046]

I have been told on several occasions by almost every potential that I have spoken to, my mom and my female cousins that I walk too fast. Like every time I walk with a Somali woman, I was always being told to walk slow but I see a lot of other women on the streets that walk at the same pace as I am.

So sisters, no offence but have you noticed you guys walk slower than everyone else?

Maybe you just have long legs. when I walk with my brothers I cant keep up. It feels like they’re running when they’re just walking

dk if you’re a man or woman but you’re probably someone with rly long legs lol… it’s hard to keep up with my aabo because we’re like a foot apart

[u/MidnightWarrior365]

Umm… I think walking faster or taking bigger steps has to do with long legs. I can attest to that bc I’m the same. I have to slow myself down to the other person pace when walking. We all have different paces so it no worries to slow down sometimes

They say the same thing to me lmao and i’m a woman.

But as a man, you walk faster than women so you need to slow down

Men walk faster than women..

It is rude to walk too fast for your walking companion.

Just slow down.

Omg i relate! I lived abroad and had to commute early mornings and nights so learned to walk fast to avoid 'trouble'! Even now when am in the ME and going for walks or even when in a mall I still cant shake off the habit lol

Do you mind me asking what role you do to help you relocate to ME?

[u/Moix888 → u/Burco21]

I moved here with my family and I now work in HR. I suggest visiting first to see if you can handle the weather & bureaucracy then only move after securing a job

I got used to walking fast cuz I’m always running late lol.
