Sometimes if I lean over to pick something up I nearly topple over. People have told me I look really awkward. I kind of know what it means but it's still vague. The thing that happens most though is hitting my shoulders on door frames. It's as though I forget how wide I am.

I trip on nothing all the time, I managed to bump into the wall when walking down a straight corridor. Ibrot my head on things a lot, I smash glasses and burn myself when I tried to iron
It's worse when I'm tired and got so bad my Manager used to go into work early before I got there to make sure nothing was in the floor

Oh my Lord...where do I begin?...

- I trip over my own feet all the time. Sometimes it seems that I trip over air, since there is rarely anything to trip over.
- I've broken my front tooth, my right wrist, both ankles, cracked both elbows, and broken toes innumerable times due to various accidents. Oh...and I broke the cartilage at the end of my nose falling in the bathtub and hitting the faucet.
- I'm a danger to myself and others in the kitchen, having several scars from cuts and burns over the years. I generally break things when I cook or try to clean up after.
- I drive over curbs and off the road at times because I get distracted while I'm driving.
- Nearly every shirt I have has stains on the front where I've spilled food or drink on myself.
- I'm constantly walking into doorframes and furniture, as recently as about 3 hours ago. I'll have a nice bruise on my hand in the morning.

So yeah...you could say that I'm clumsy. The stupidest way I've hurt myself is lighting a stick of incense, taking a sniff of the smoke and accidentally sniffing a burning ember up my nose....
