I can be at times but for the most part I'm pretty stable. I mostly run into door jams...lol.

Apparently more than I thought. Last year I fell down the stairs and broke my elbow. Now I have 10 screws in my arm and set off metal detectors ;-;

I'm actually not clumsy at all. People say I move kinda gracefully.

I beg to differ, though, because when I'm just learning something I'm definitely awkward, and fumble things.

But I don't often hurt myself, I'm strangely careful so that I don't. I think that comes from growing up around someone who was clumsy and hurt themselves in the silliest ways, so I always pay attention.

Not at all. I have good hand and eye coordination. I can catch something thrown at me from across the room. I have a quick, light step, people don't hear me coming, I get compared to a ghost sometimes, just appearing silently.

The only problem is that others aren't so light on their feet. I usually have to perform a balancing act not to fall over because it seems everyone is always going at half speed, stopping in the middle of the road and causing me to nearly crash into them. Cats and dogs like to hover by my feet too, and its amazing I don't trip other them. They seem to all be part of the conspiracy to make me fall.

I once thought I could run and jump a parking rope, which led to me falling on my arm, breaking 2 bones.

Then later, I became over confident when learning to roller skate. This led to me breaking my wrist.

I'm not sure if these would be attributed to clumsiness, or just being an idiot.

very not. last time i wore my uniform this week one of my shoes was missing its back sole, which causes it to be slippery as hell, and i almost slipped several times while we were out. keyword is almost 😉

i like to credit the time i spent learning kung fu in middle school for helping me gain agility. my father had a similar experience since he trained with us too - you're more aware of the nature of your body and have more intuitive control of it 'on your feet', as they say, so recovering mid-fall is more automatic.

In public I always try to maintain a graceful image! But really, I have good days and bad days—yesterday I was trying to open the seal on a new milk bottle and spilt it everywhere! Then I had to quickly clean it up before anyone caught me, ahaha.

When I was seven I broke my right elbow by tripping over and falling awkwardly on top of my watering can. The scar is very crooked. :x

Clumsy? Very much so. I tend to trip over air.

Silly me.

oh, unrelated to my op but since i went out today i became more aware of my severely awkward gate… i walk like i have a back injury, and some days when i roll out of bed i really feel pain like i do. might wanna get my spine checked, because when you couple this with bad socks i look like the world's worst stunt artist out and about. it's supremely humiliating because it's always just obvious enough, lolol

I variate. Like everything in life, I swing between spectrum's and boggle, baffle and bewilder.

I used to trip in bed, but I've shed gawkishness and taken on the sort of style and grace usually accredited to... Obi-Wan? Cyd Charisse? I don't know. But I don't walk. I glide. Like an eel. In Fanta...? Well, along those lines anyway.

I've had a few freakish occurrences where I move my hand and a glass shatters (its hard to describe) and I've injured myself a lot. But that's just carelessness, really.
