Can you get cane training?

I’d recommend holding your cane in front of you diagonally.

I was taught hold it in the safety position

Hi, I use my cane to monitor the progress of the line anywhere I'm at. Holding it with the pencil grip, I can ntap the person in front of me to see if I have to give a few steps. I used to fidgit a lot with it, but it looks wierd so I stopped doing it.

Sounds like you need some cane training. I generally either hold it in front of me at a an angle or I hold it straight up and down with the tip resting on the floor.
