Knees randomly give out

I'm 22 and this has been happening since I was a teenager.

Sometimes my knees will randomly give out while I'm walking. People who know me well are used to me randomly collapsing or stumbling for a second. I don't experience any sort of pain in my knees. I also usually have the same issue when I sneeze while standing.

Someone told me it might be because I lock my knees too much (I'm pigeon toed and stand weird sometimes) and I'm also very thin so I think it doesn't help that I don't have a lot of leg muscle.

I never went to a doctor for it because it's never caused me problems and I don't feel pain from it. Honestly, I know I should. Could this possibly be a sign of a bigger issue I've been ignoring?
