Based on your replies, it seems he either hates you or is a narcissist. If you’ve brought it his attention, tried grabbing his hand, seen him not act this way with other people, ignores you while you talk and seemingly does this on purpose, he doesn’t care. It is a power grab to put you down very common in narcissistic people. You should consider how your life would be without him love, you deserve better 🤍

He’s a fast walker. There are many conclusions that can be drawn from the interplay of social behaviors but it’s almost impossible to say anything conclusive from just one. It’s actually hard to remember to change something as ingrained and habitual as walking and requires conscious and physical effort. It’s difficult to slow down just like it’s difficult to speed up, you are capable of walking at the speed he does but don’t for the same reason.

Try holding hands while walking. That’ll help the speed match if that’s the problem, if he doesn’t want to, you may have another problem

This is very common in people on the spectrum. In short they can’t walk at the same speed as you because it is uncomfortable for them. Some reason why some people on the spectrum have a hard time with loud noises, or keeping eye contact, or wearing clothes with seams.

Now if you do speed up and he speeds up with you, or normally walks slower when he’s not with you it could say a lot of things. More information is needed.

He walks next to anyone else but me. I’m a decently fast walker.

Like several feet in front of me. For example I went with him on a trip and he left me completely behind, I was having a full on conversation with him and he left me and talked to his family members I was in the middle of a sentence

Well idk the guy, so he could just be a neurodivergent person. Have you tried privately speaking to him about this and telling him how it makes you feel?
