No that's weird. I would 100% judge a coworkers mental stability if they skipped to my desk.
If I slipped and fell running around my house as a child, I'd probably fall down some steps, through a window, bounce off a wall, then dust myself off and have snacks
If I slipped and fell in my house now, I'd have to get my affairs in order and book into a dignitas clinic
Edit:typo >

Ah the youth. When climbing up a bunch of metal shelves at work was a good idea. Now I'm giving side eye to the ladder. >

Knew a guy like you who zipped around the office. Fucker was in IT and could have easily been Malvin in War Games. 
One day he ran around a blind corner carrying a stack of laptops and knocked a very pregnant accountant on her ass. That was it for him. Immediately terminated. Last straw after many fails. 
I’m happy you never outgrew it, but yea, it makes you look nuts. >

damn! I agree you shouldn’t run where it could be dangerous for you or others, but skipping should be okay I guess. That’s why I didn’t mention running in an office setting. >

Honestly I think as long as your not doing in a workplace, around a bunch of kids, or a crowded place your good. As long as no one gets stepped on or hurt in any way. I’m a lively person to and sometimes I just like to randomly sprint to another room or crazily dance in my kitchen. Besides exercise is good lol >

Kids are small, if they hit someone while doing it, it ain’t a big deal, if a 100 kg dude does that, someone will get hurt. >

That’s why you do it outside. Also, as a woman, I’m still smaller than many 13 year old boys. >

I see no problem with people running outside, the problem is doing it in offices and stuff, like OP suggestions >

We do it at my work place, but we are a bunch of crazy musicians/performers, so it’s pretty normal for us. >

These are just social conventions about how an adult should look like. 
I'm a fan of demolishing these things, but I'm also a fan of peaceful environments lol >

I run twice a week and do skipping rope at my boxing sessions. 
But I guess that's not what you are talking about. >

Cool 😎 >

Why normalize? If you want to do it, be confident enough to do so. People will always find things weird. Not up to them to change their mind, but up to you to simply not give a damn :) >

I'm surprised this is a moderately unpopular opinion. I do this all the time >

Don’t care as long as it’s somewhere appropriate to do so.  If you are breaking social norms then you will be judged as per the rules of society. >

Yeah, shame is a powerful non-legal tactic to lessen certain behaviors. 
You are not mandated to take a shower. Yet people will shame you if you stink. You are not mandated to be nice to be nice to the waiter. Yet people will shame people that are rude
It’s quite good and people could use a bit more shame sometimes >

I find it weird that people will blame their emotions on others. ‘I feel like I’m being shamed’ really? Or do you feel shame about your actions and are making it somebody else’s fault you feel that way? 
Same with people hijacking anxiety. I know some truly suffer from the disease but I’ve also known some real pieces of shit that probably should feel anxious about their life choices and try and change for the better >

There is a time and place for all that!! Even kids are not allowed to run, jump, and skip around in classrooms. Hope you don’t do it around work!! >

It is not normal for kids to jump and skip when they are in settings that equivalent to your work place. >

Yep. Keep your body young. >

If safe, run like if no one is watching. >

I like to skip with my kids (I’m 44). And when I need to ask a coworker a question I stand behind their desk and bounce until I have their attention. It might annoy them a little but not enough that they don’t do it back to me! Never leave the playground! >

My wife and I sometimes skip holding hands (and rarely while humming the happy tree friends tune). I assume we look mad, which we are one about the other >

To all the women on this thread that love to hop, skip, and jump. Can we date? You seem like the best person to be around. >

Tell me you're a young adult without telling me.
My knees aren't going to survive that. What if I fall over? This is potentially deadly advice. >

I will simply not have weak knees >

Skipping is more efficient than walking/running. I’ve had this belief ever since I was a small child >

I agree. It’s almost like you hit 18 and can only have fun if you’re drinking. >

Go ahead and skip around all you want.  Trust me your back will put an end to that shit quick. >

Have you tried being fit tho
