when i walk my arms never move like there supposed to when you walk i either have them in my pockets or not swinging at all why is this?? im not crippled or anything either. i think i look weird when i swing my arms when i walk is this weird???
yea i do think about it how can i not think about it?
 
Its a little odd, i think your over thinking it, thats why it doesnt happen naturally. Your arms swing on their own when you walk. Dont worry about it, if you stop thinking about it when you walk, im sure it will actually happen normally like its supposed to.
 
You've likely just developed this body movement or 'gait' over time. Swinging your arms is the more 'efficient' method of movement and uses kinetic energy (momentum) to counterbalance our body weight and propel our walking/running with less overall energy expenditure.

Not a big deal,.. but if it were me I would probably start practicing walking around my neighborhood for exercise with an ipod and focus on moving my arms in an exaggerated fashion. In time the exaggeration combined with your 'natural' tendency to keep them still will probably fuse into a more natural happy medium.

It isn't anything that will hurt you in the long term..
