I used to walk with my arms down to the sides but this last year I have developed a need hold things in my hands, keys purse strap or just have something next to Palm hands. My arms are bent at the elbow I tried to put them down and walk but nope can't anymore without feeling funny. my walk lessened up, step are closer together that flat heel that I see women with here has finally happened. If I step on something it hurts like H@!!. No more walking without shoes in the rocks. When I run I feel the fat in my inner thigh shifting my legs differently. I love it when things bounce ;) or jiggle. Some manorisms seem to come after HRT. It just feels right to do it were as before I had to work at it. Just want to to write about this and would like to know what your thoughts are on this subject.
The need to hold things comes with habit, not HRT, if you ask me. I, for instance, have always had that need to carry things around, because I've always had a school bag and books when I grew up; always a sort of bag to carry, or something. And I've pretty much always felt awkward, wondering where to put my hands, when I don't have anything to hold. I haven't noticed any change, really.
I guess since you started using a purse, the habit got into you as well.
I could see that it may even explain why I don't feel comfortable putting my arms down to the side anymore. got have that strap in my hand. I did not care much for holding things back then. I feel silly right now writing this. I don't want to write anymore. Talking would be much better. I want to talk but no one here to talk to :-\ I think I wrote it just because I feel silly to start with. Maybe I should have said any one feel silly and want to write about it. :) ;D

I feel silly everyday it's my natural state. ;D
It happens to me off and on. It almost feels like a cat playing with a string or something.
