I worry sometimes that I come across like a predator...

When I walk, I was with pace and pretty much haste.
I often have somewhere to go. It's a rarity for me to go out aimlessly.. I was never allowed to roam the streets as a child and just havg around so the streets are not the norm for me.

But I find when I walk people often get nervous since I come up behind or beside them with speed.
The worst thing is when a person is nervous they start to sway across the path left to right. Making it harder to pass, where I often have to say "EXCUSE ME!" for them to abruptly move aside.

I have been walking and had a cat jump because it didn't hear me coming up behind it...

I'm not entirely sure why this happens since I'm not attacker or theif and I've always tried to adhere to the rules I was taught when growing up.
I just move fast!
