What causes that stoop in old folk where their head and neck are permanently bent forward?

From personal experience (55m). You kind of get stuck in whatever position you’re in if you don’t move for a few minutes. So if sitting or bending over and then you stand up you’ll be super stiff or even in pain if you try to straighten up. If you don’t make a conscience effort you might give into it and stay that way.
For me as a teenager I had really poor posture and in my early 20’s just decided I didn’t like it so I somehow managed to keep it in my mind all the time to stand up straight. This still sticks with me so I fight through the stiffness every time.
Also, I refuse to waddle when I walk. Finally in my 50’s I feel good, in good shape, confident and look good. FML. Nah jk I’m pretty happy.
Just one person’s anecdotal experience.
