Is clumsiness a common INFP trait?

I was thinking about this earlier today. I'm extremely clumsy, I bump into stuff all the time. I was wondering if other INFPs are the same way.

I'm the same way... I drop things, trip on things, bump into things... Basically, if it's there I'll end up damaged by it or damaging it. Life is cruel sometimes. :crazy:

I ALWAYS bump into things and It's worse when I try and act all amazingly cool and graceful I end up falling
or bumping my hip on something it's really embarassing

Yeah, I'm clumsy. I don't tend to pay attention to things. I bump into things right in front of me, slipping, overfilling cups of water...
I'm so awkward. I used to break dishes a lot, and I tripped over myself, tripped on the stairs, bumped into stuff, and knocked over drinks EVERY SINGLE DAY. I'm not quite that bad now, but I'm not super awesome at being, you know, steady, either.

Yeah, a bit. Not overly--I haven't broken a dish yet--but I do bump into walls/objects and drop things. It's mostly just me being impatient, unattentive, and/or distracted.

I can be pretty clumsy yeah, but I have taught myself to walk and move lightly and delicately partly because of a self perception of clumsiness and unsubtlety of movement. (When I was younger I would do things like stand up too fast and knock over my chair, or get tripped when walking around seated people) When I am alone though, or in a frustrated mood I pretty often bump into the sides of things, but I watch my footing around others. :)

I'm a total klutz. I can't be in a room with chairs or tables or walls for that matter. -.-
And I seem incapable of exiting my school bathrooms without first missing the doorway and hitting the doorpost.
I can be clumsy myself. I have some Nike tennis shoes that have about 1/2 inch difference from the ground to my feet, and I trip in them when I'm stationary sometimes.
Thought it was just me :) I try real hard to look like im working hard at work when i see my boss so and ill walk into something
I'm pretty clumsy. I'm usually to in my head to pay attention and just end up bumping into stuff or it can even be from nervousness like at my graduation when I was coming off the stage. I was trying so hard not to mess up anything and I got my sleeve caught on the railing of the stage. Nothing too embarrassing though.
Ever done the thing where you walk into a glass door? Maybe not clumsiness exactly, but pretty hilarious for lookers on.
^ I ran into a glass door. My head hurt for like a week. And yes it was hilarious for the onlookers. There's just something about a child running full force into a glass door. I laugh about it all the time.

I am not really clumsy. Once in a while I may be careless and trip, but I don't fall. I don't walk into things, or break dishes. I probably do have a bumbling look to me, but I prefer it.
Yeah, I'm pretty clumsy. I think it's just that I'm so absent-minded at times that it's not uncommon for me to bump into or trip over things I'm not wary of.
I'm quite clumsy. Not so much the falling over or dropping things kind of clumsy, but more the not noticing things are there and accidentally knocking them over when walking/stretching/yawning etc. kind :p
I enjoy not hurting myself so I take extra care in not falling down or injuring myself.
I feel like I always try to be careful but it doesn't really work. I always seem to have a band-aid somewhere on my body. I always seem to get my fingers stuck in doors/drawers or hit my toe on something. I often spill/break things..

I also trip very often and I'm pretty sure I've fallen down all of my friends' stairs. As if being absent-minded didn't help my clumsiness at all, a doctor once told me that my feet have a tendency to walk on the outside which could often be the cause of me tripping :frustrating:
