Just curious. I don’t think I’ve jumped for a while, maybe two weeks? I think it was performative like ‘wow I’m so happy’ to underscore a point not practical

  • Every work day. I’m almost tall enough to check the top shelf while conditioning the store and can’t be assed to find whoever took my departments stepstool.

    My most recent non-work jump was trying to train my dog to jump and hoping she would emulate me. It didn’t work.

    Nearly every day. My driveway slopes down and there is a retaining wall that runs along it. Whenever I come home from walking the dog I jump up on the start of the wall and walk up it, instead of going up the stairs. It’s only about 3 feet high.at that point, so I could take a giant step, but I like to jump up on it.

    I’m 45 years old, BTW

    Probably yesterday? I jump up and climb anywhere I can. Idk if it’s just the autism but my brain has always been pretty much like “that’s the shortest path, so what if I have to jump over something”

    Been a minute. Im short but my tip toe game is incredible full ballerina. I do lil hop to enter the stance tho, so earlier today. I am weirdly buff in muscles that people dont work out wirh but I have needed personally. My legs are like that of those mgs4 walkers and I have medically weird grip strength

    probably like two months ago. I’m a mail carrier and there was this brick divider between two houses that would have taken a long time to walk around it so I jumped that shit

    jump a lot tbh, it’s a part of my “dance and jump around outside a bit while listening to tunes in the sun every day” anti-depression aktion

    don’t really do like full practical jumps often tho really, i think i had to jump over a puddle like two months ago i guess? and ofc short hops on and off of curbs and shit i guess

        I jump in elevators all the time, although I don’t do with when other people are inside.

        It’s fun, it’s not like an elevator with a 2000lb weight capacity is gonna break from a 160lb person jumping

            I used to be a little bit more unsettled by elevators until I learned how they work. Those things are built to such insane standards that I now feel safer in them than on a 5ft staircase. I don’t think I could be less unsettled by being somewhere aside from my literal bed.

              Maybe I should learn more about them. I used to have recurring nightmares of being in a plummeting elevator (not helped by the fact it’s a trope in so many action movies and games). I guess it’s like vertical thalassophobia in some ways too, like it’s the same fear of the void underneath, but also the thought that you’re separated from it by just a few feet of metal. At least in the ocean you can swim. Then, add the vertigo, air pressure discomfort and related fear of heights/ledges/precipices (“I’m heading up to a place where I’ll be uncomfortable/afraid”) means that the ascent is scary and the destination sucks. Also small enclosed space. I have been stuck in elevators twice, once for just a few minutes the other time for about half an hour… All around, do not enjoy them.
