Does anyone else walk with their knees locked or is it just me?

First post on here, pretty sure I used the right tag if not I'll fix it.

TLDR: I've been standing and walking with my knees locked for years and it's fucking up my knees back and hips (go figure) any advice or anything is appreciated!

For context I haven't been diagnosed with EDS or hEDS yet but am trying to, as the more I look the more I realize things I assumed were normal weren't. I've locked my knees when I stand for as long as I can remember and it's caused some problems for me (knees, back, hips.) I'm trying to be more aware of the positions my joints are in and when they're doing something there not supposed to which is 90% of the time, learning how to stand properly is already frustrating, the second i unlock my knees i feel so unstable and wobbly but i know it's something i need to fix. I know standing with your knees locked isn't too uncommon but dude I walk with my knees locked and have for years and I know that can't be good for my joints but I cant get over how wobbly I feel when my knees aren't locked what do i dooooo 😭😭
