Boyfriend critical of the way I walk

'Critical' may not be the right word.

We were walking along the road on our way to get some lunch and my boyfriend of 5 years said 'hmm, when you walk you swing your right foot out'.

I've not been aware of this or noticed it before and when we were walking past shop windows I was looking at my reflection and I seem to walk like any other person.

It's given me a real complex and I'm really irritated that he pointed it out. Even if I did walk like that, I don't feel like it was necessary to make a comment.

I feel like I'm overreacting but I'm really hurt that he would comment on something like the way I walk. He's refused to apologise because he says that he didn't mean to make me feel like I need to be thinking now about how I walk, but now I am overthinking it and walking around the bedroom looking at my feet in the mirror.

I know I'm overthinking it but it's really bothered me. Not really sure why I'm posting, looking for someone to talk some sense into me maybe.

People just have an innate desire to point out differences in others. 🤷‍♀️ No idea why but it is unnecessary.

Nice trolling.
