People don't reach for posture gurus [1,2,3] to adhere to strict normalcy, usually advice is sort for reasons of beauty, pain relief, and mental clarity. If you are experiencing shame for your walking style it may be that they believe improper walking, posture, and breathing leads to slavish, impulsive, in short, contagious behaviour. You might be proving your enemies right and providing them with the contrast they want with your wall of text.
Back on topic, who knows how much of our walking style/tendency is genetic asymmetries like muscle length or social mimicry.
If you just want the basics of improving normal walking posture: purposefulness, practice, feet straight, keep thine heel heavy as though you are pushing off the centre of the planet. And you'd be surprised how much the shoulders are the control centre for everything and how tight muscles magically release when the alternate one is engaged by second nature.
