What is "posturing?"

Post Reply New Topic

Haha now can you get rid of my paranoid thoughts/feelings too ? I'm scared because that's a symptom of you-know-what .

Yes, there is no correlation between your height and wingspan. Some of the best boxers have had larger wingspans than height. Sonny Liston was 72.5 inches tall and had a wingspan of 84 inches.

If your anything like me you are flitting from thread to thread adding your content then looking for the next one , hitting refresh , oh goody , there's a reply , quick gotta post , next post , I feel like a machine , gotta reach out , gotta connect , gotta be social in the only way that feels comfortable. If you do do this it is very easy to lose track of things - well it is for me. If you don't do this forget I said it

Every day's a school day

Yup! Totally do that- but I was forced to take a shower .

Why did someone delete their post?

I wear a US shoe size 10 or 9 1/2. My shoe size hasn't changed since about 5th grade. I had big feet then too and always had. They grew first before I hit a growth spurt. I have not worn a children's size shoes probably since second grade. I was also a tall girl so I always weight more than my peers because of my height. It sucked though because everyone then thought I was older and I would be too big to play on toys so soon and it was great when McDonalds decided to get rid of their height restrictions and change it to 3-12 (except for ball pits) when lot of them all had playlands back in the days. I also had to wear Junior clothes bu ten years old because of my height and girl size 16s were too big for me but was too big for girls size 14s.

Now I stand at 5 '7' and haven't grown since high school. I am not sure when I stopped growing. I am guessing 16 because I remember being 15 and being told I grew a half an inch. in Junior high I was a little over 5 '6' and I slowly grew to 5 7 in my high school years.

I know what the post said but didn't see anything wrong it at all so I'm guessing it was deleted due to either anxiety , revealing something they didn't want too , didn't think it was relevant.
It wasn't a forum breaking rule post if that's what your thinking.

When I'm nervous, I tend to have a stiff posture.

I didn't even know until yesterday that I pace , hover ( not the literal kind ) and have a stiff posture when I am anxious , my GF told me I do it but she says I am able to make it look almost natural and not awkward but she says I will resist it in a situation where it will become obvious ( this are the situations I find tiring )

That was me, probably. Last night, I wrote something like this:
Well, by my family's standards, at least, I have large feet. As for the youthful looks, I'm 17 right now, but some people assume I'm in my 20s. (Though others assume I'm 13 or 14.)

Then I realised I didn't put what sized shoe I wear, and what size it translates to in different places. It was late at night, and I decided to research that in the morning. But you can't edit a post you made yesterday, so I just deleted it. I decided I'll write the post again in the morning if I wanted. Anyway, I wear size 8.5 US / 39 EU / 6 UK. Not too large, but at family reunions, they all tell me I have big feet.

Thanks^^^^

It doesn't matter to me, but I though I was hallucinating . You know how OCD goes.....

When I first saw the title of this point I thought it was talking about posturing in terms of "faking it," but then I saw it was about physical posture. I am fairly relaxed when I'm not anxious, although I couldn't say I was entirely and completely relaxed.

Yeah- I was wondering if it was having bad physical posture or something else. I never heard of posturing meaning "faking it" before, though that sounds interesting .

"Faking it" is the usual definition of "posturing."

But it's not the same thing as "posturing" within the context of the DSM-5.

Yeah. All these terms are so confusing!
