>As an adult, I'm expected to walk at a measured pace. There are times I'd want to just jump and start running but I can't, cos people would think I've gone mad

What are the chances you're ever going to see any of those people who'll 'think you're mad' on a daily basis, or even again at all and if you do how will them 'thinking you're mad' affect your life in any way?

Also, people are far too worried about what other people think of them to care how fast or slow you walk.

Some people cower and wince and shrink, owing to fear of what others might think. There is one answer to worries like these: people may think what the devil they please.

I make it a matter of principle to do childish things when I feel like it, and I think it helps keep me young(er). Had to stop jumping over the fence when picking up my kids from preschool though after a teacher told me it made it harder for them to keep the kids from leaving the premises. Can't win them all!

Young Black men have to be trained to stop running everywhere about age 11.

In the United States of America. In 2019.

(I am not Black. Friends I trust have told me this.)

If that's your neighbours then pretty high.
