Avatar constantly looking at own feet

I'm brand spanking new to SL so I'm unfamiliar with all the bells and whistles. I've searched the forums until my eyes hurt but didn't find anything similar to this problem.

When my avatar walks around she looks at the ground and even does it when she's just standing there idle. I know others can see this odd behavior as well. Did I inadvertedly change something and is it something that can be fixed?

Thanks!

Generally, my avatar follows my mouse pointer. If I use Alt+click on something, my camera, thus my AV, focuses (looks at) that. I don't know if this helps or not, but thought I'd put my 2 cents in. Good luck with it!

I think the only things that affect how your head moves is an animation or as Danielle says wherever the mouse pointer is. When your mouse is idle look where the pointer is. If it's on the floor your avatar will look at the floor. If that's not it you might have some kind of attachment that is animating your head. Try right clicking on yourself and select 'detach all' and then check if you still have the problem.

You can get an AO animation overrider that can remove all the head movements. You just need to add a walk animation and stand animation that are a high enough priority to stop the head from moving.

I think you can point your eyes up using the camera controls. That should show you where you are walking to.
