I am a person who walk quite fast. My friends always need to remind me to slow down, or they can hardly catch up with me. They are wondering that I am not a person that with short fuse, why I walk so quickly. How about you, my friend, do you think there is relationship between character and walking speed?

Hi karenkarenkk, Walk fast and walk slow depends on how much I want to rush around. In the mornings I tend to walk fast but later on I enjoy walking much slower and taking things in because I have a bit more time. On the whole I try to walk slower because walking fast does´nt get you anywhere quicker. If I have to get somewhere really quick I run for a Bus and then take it easy after.

hi i too walk very fast. my friends say i almost run. i don't have any idea if walking fast has to do something with the character but i think it is a kind of work out. it helps in burning some caloroes for sure.

I am a person who walks quickly. I also like to walk if it is a small distance instead of hiring a vehicle or driving. I love to walk and it helps me to manage my weight. I get dropped in office in the morning, but in the evening I walk to my home which is around twenty to twenty five mintues of walk away. I enjoy doing it. My friends always ask me reduce the speed when I walk with them.

hi fren...i don't know whether because of having long feet or any other reasons, i walk so fast too. i don't like to walk slowly. i think time is money, and i don't wanna waste my time just for walking.

Hi Alatecablebill, you must be living in a big city, where economy are highly developed. I know another ciry in our country, the pace of life there is very fast, most of people are running to catch up with their bus, to meet the tight schedule of their job... By the way, do you like to live in such busy city?

hello karenkarenkk, no, i don't walk that fast, just normal. i am not used to it. but my wife does. she walks so fast that she needs to stop for how many times waiting for me especially when she is in a hurry. i think i need to learn that so she needs not to wait for me anymore.

I tend to walk fairly fast, too, but I am an extremely laid-back person. Maybe we feel the need to walk fast because the world is moving so fast. Gosh, how I wish time would slow down a little bit..

I walk on a medium pace. I cannot walk quickly unless I am to reach somewhere urgently. Also I do not walk quickly because it is so humid here, and within a few minutes of walking, I will be bathed in sweat. I like to walk on a meduim pace, see around, watch people, vehicles. May be that has links with my character. I do not lose temper quite quickly, but when it does, it will be one hell of a temper. Also other things I do , I do it pretty fast like cooking, cleaning and all...

Hi karenkarenkk! I normally walk fast especially when I'm just alone. Brisk walking is a healthy exercise, so I take advantage of it and it gets me to my destination a lot faster too. It's a different case though when I'm with somebody else. I do try to slowdown when I feel that my companion is having a hard time keeping up with my pace.

Hi karen! Same here, I walk quite fast too. My friends find it weird that I walk fast even on high heels. I like doing things fast I guess. Like at my work I tend to hop from on corner to another just to get things done. I guess it has something to do with our personality. Maybe because we are "go getter" or want to finish something we started thats why we walk like that. LOL. Its just my idea of it. :)

Well I walk fast all the time. I don't know why. No patience I guess. But I am a very fast runner..so maybe that's a reason behind it.? I'm not sure.

I think that there is relationship between character and walking speed.You should slow down,because it's benefit for your health especially after dinner.

I am a choleric by nature and part of our streak is in fast paced movement as if we have to do every thing at the same time. I remember a time i was walking with my elder sister and she had to be pulling me all the time to slow down. I learnt to walk with my sister and others but generally when I walk on my own its basically on the fast pace. Well I don't think fast paced movement has anything to do with character. Its just that when you have long legs like I do, you may tend to speed things up a bit knowingly or not.

My husband is a very fast walker too, and he is normally a very laid back man. He is one that really hates confrontation and does what he can to avoid it. I walk fast, but not as fast as he does, and I am also a pretty laid back person, although things do tend to get to me quicker than they do him. I don't think that waslking speed really has anything to do wth character, i just think that some people naturally move faster when walking than others. Now, my husband may walk fasater than me when we are not working, but when it comes to working, we both do our jobs and do them quickly, me sometimes working faster than he does.

I have a long stride so even when I mosie along I tend to pass folks up. I'll try to slow down to accommodate folks but I get to thinking on things and habit takes over and the race is on again.. ENJOY!

yes, i am a fast walker. it has been my way and i just feel that i am wasting time if i slacken my steps and i grow tired. my son is slow in his ways and we always point it out to him especially if we are in a hurry. he is not gay but that is just how he moves. a person is unique. each one of us has his own qualities, so to each his own, isnt it? i don't know if there is a relationship between walking speed and one's character though.

I walk fast and thats mostly because i don't want to waste any time , but notthat my life is hectic at all , i also walk quick because i have few time to get from one place to another , like from the train to school . Sometimes i'll run even and i don't care if people look at me in a weird way . If i need to be on time , i'll be there on time .

Me too. I walk fast especially when i am in a hurry. But my mom walk faster than me. She leave everyone behind when me and my siblings take a walk in the mall to shop. Sometimes we get lost as we keep on following her.
