When I was a kid I did gymnastics, and skateboarded/rollerbladed. This combination of activities meant I was falling on my ass all the god damn time.
It also means that I am so accustomed to falling, that even as I age, those instincts survive, and in turn, help me survive. When I fall, I tuck, I roll, I break my fall with any number of instinctual responses. This has lead to me surviving some scary falls I’ve taken whilst home alone (off a ladder, in the shower, fainting once when I got up from a long squat), and I think will help me survive more in my elder years.
That’s great now, also have you considered working to improve your balance so you stop falling doing normal everyday tasks?
You might be so accustomed to falling your entire life, maybe it hasn’t occurred to you that falling off ladders and falling in the shower and getting dizzy from squatting to the point you fall over when you get up, those are not normal or healthy events. Quite the opposite of normal & healthy.

Same here. It took me a while to realize not everyone rode bike or skated then ate shit as kids so now they eat shit.
