is being clumsy a bad thing?

No, it's not bad. I've been a clumsy all my life but I'm not really the type that knocks things over or drops things. My clumsiness is due to the fact that I constantly bump into things, hit my head on hard surfaces, or trip over my own two feet. It's funny...I've been able to walk for over 20 years and apparently I still haven't gotten the hang of it. I've learned to laugh about it because I have to admit, it is pretty funny. I usually just laugh it off.

About the guy thing...well I can't speak for all men of course, but I've been with my boyfriend for 5 years and he finds my clumsiness to be an endearing quality. Trust me, if a guy likes you for your personality and the kind of person you are, it won't matter to him if you're a total klutz. It hasn't really been a factor concerning my dating life.

I am clumsy too. I think it is because I think of so many things at once, then forget where I am going and into a door I walk, or I drop a bunch of papers.

Maybe try to be more aware of what you are doing at one time. Just center on one thought when you are caring paper or coffee or walking. See if that helps out. It has me and the clumsiness will dissipate a little at a time as you become more aware. I learned this because I stepped off a curb wrong 2 years ago, being clumsy not watching where I was going and broke my foot. That is what woke me up, the fact I really hurt myself.

Best of luck, be you; but just try to focus on what you are doing. It will be hard at first.

Happy Holidays!

How long has it been since you have had your vision checked? You very likely need glasses, but if that's not the problem, you should probably have a complete medical evaluation to determine the cause. You need to find out why you are clumsy and maybe get physical therapy for it before you or someone else gets hurt. Of course you should try to change! Not for the sake of not getting teased but for the sake of your own health and well-being. You are not a child any more.

Um, being clumsy and knocking things over that might be important is certainly not a good thing. Don't try to change this into a "personality trait." You need to simply try to pay more attention and be more aware. Being careless, unaware, and considering that a good aspect might be convenient for you, but it sure doesn't help other people.

Of course, there is no reason to make fun of you to a high degree over it either. Just be a bit more considerate, and don't treat this as some sort of cute disability when it is most likely just not paying attention.

Being clumsy is dangerous. It should be something you work on or if you feel that it is a serious problem, you might want to discuss it with your doctor. Leisure Learning might have classes on poise, or take some ballet classes. My experience is that men are attracted to women who carry themselves with poise, and style. You can do it, but find out why you're clumsy.

It isn't really that big a deal. But try to tone it down a bit or people are just going to constantly make fun of you for it.

You can't change being clumsy. Best to laugh when it happens, and let it go. Accept yourself for whatever you are.

No it's not a bad thing. I doubt if you can change it but if you want I guess you can try.

No, its not a bad thing. I am a blonde, and I am very climsy myself. You should not try and change yourself. Be who you realy are.

Sometimes...
