    Nothing more terrible than when a natural stride length and the distances between cracks don’t quite line up. Sorry mom

      The worst part is when sidewalk cracks are out-of-sync with your natural stride.

    I’m not diagnosed as anything but…whenever I walk on side walks or any ‘slab of concrete’ tupe walkway, I imagine diagonal lines from corner to corner like An X for each slab. I can’t step on the X part. I can step on the outline of the slab. That’s fine. Just not the diagonals. There’s no consequence for getting it wrong But it’s a minor compulsion.

      And here I was thinking I was the only one that is bothered by the bisecting angles. Except I can’t step on the outlines unless it lands between my heel and toes where my feet wouldn’t touch them.

        Yeah I try my best to either step in the triangles created by the imaginary diagonals or directly on the line between slabs with the arch of my foot

    This is me with stairs. When going up or down stairs, I always have to get off them on my left foot. Can’t make the final step with my right foot at all. That’s bad.
