Yeah I really don't like the slow meandering people like to do and have places I'm trying to go, so I usually walk pretty fast.
I walk so fast that when I have it in me, I can keep pace with my friends when they’re on their bikes.
Okay not that fast
Holy fucking balls I hate slow meandering people who block every possible way of passing them, or who walk at such a pace and distance that you have to slow to a crawl. I will actually cross a busy major street to avoid walking behind someone (either because of this problem, or because I feel really uncomfortable walking behind people a lot of times).

slow people who won't keep to one side annoy the shit outta me
Yeah, to the point that it can be frustrating to go on walks with people (for everyone involved). I'm not ay all in good shape, but whenever I go on hikes my natural walking pace is apparently a death march for most people so they have to ask me to slow down and then I end up feeling kinda restless. It seems like people equate walking fast with not being relaxed, but idk, it's just the speed I feel comfortable at and I walk that fast even if I'm strolling aimlessly.
I pass joggers regularly. My legs are fucking BUFF and carrying a fairly skinny and smol rest of my body. I'm built like a GEKKO from mgs4. My favorite job ever would be Guy That Has To Carry A Scroll From One Castle to Another
Anyone else walk really fast
Yes, and it's not even like I'm trying to rush, it's just my walking pace.
I also like listening to metal or hard rock while I’m walking, and matching my pace to the drum beat or something. It makes me feel awesome.
Yep, I'll do it with walking, running, hiking, and it feels great!
I have the opposite problem... I have zero sense of urgency.
It's got nothing to do with urgency at all for me, my normal walking speed is just really really fast. If there's anything worth lingering for, I'll just stop
yeah i gay walk everywhere if I'm on my own. i can hit a really good pace if I'm in a rush. if im with my gfs they're asking me to slow down sometimes. i live in a busy city and have utter disdain for slow walkers.
What is gay walk? I thought I knew but apparently I do not
its just a meme i guess that we tend to walk faster than the straights. I'll always knock 5 mins off a google maps walking estimate
I love this
Yeah, for some reason all my friends growing up were rather tall, I think that's where I get it from
Yes and I have lengthy struggle sessions with myself over whether this indicates narcissistic traits in my personality. To be clear I am not suggesting that this is the case for anyone else who walks faster than their companions. But I've really beat myself up over it at times.
I'm marginally better at matching my pace to whoever I'm walking with now. But yeah. Keep up damnit.
When I'm being most truthful with myself I think it stems from anxiety and is related to my hypervigilance. Sometimes I yearn for a past relationship with a woman who was wired the same way. We would flow through crowds together and it felt amazing.
Also I just have long legs and it feels bad and restrictive to walk slow. But that's my problem to deal with not to foist on the people I'm walking with who might be struggling to keep up.
... I have really deep demons around this stuff.
I'm an old man.
I walk everywhere so I wanna get there kinda fast.
yes, I'm a very fast walker, which I attribute to being a short person who grew up around tall people – had to lengthen my stride and increase the pace to keep up
I contend that my pace is average, I just move fast because my stride is huge.
Yep. I walk faster than anyone I know. I'm trying to be better about letting the other walker(s) lead so I can be in on whatever conversation they're having.
yes but i'm a bit short so my max speed before i have to break into a run or jog is lower than i'd like. i genuinely get upset when someone (taller) starts outpacing me 
I’ve been told I walk really slow, but I don’t give a fuck why is everyone in such a hurry all the time. No I will not walk faster.
Public transport transfers and anxiety.
I walk fast. Kinda slow at everything else, though.
I run super slow, walk super fast.
Love matching my walking to the drum beat
I tend to feel bonkers anxious if I walk slow, like I'm weirdly balancing on each leg before proceeding to the next step. I don't even feel like I'm that fast, but even if I only walk faster than 50% of people, I'm going to overtaking or walking weird slow a lot of the time.
Can absolutely eat up the miles walking long distance though
