In inspiration of the other post, what’s your greatest nerf (as in, how are you really good at something but have something that balances you out). So you have to include the good too.
For example, In my case, I’m pretty strong, tall, high stamina, really good cold resistance.
But I have kidney failure and a transplant which means I need to take immunosuppressants every day or I can end up hospitalized, and also therefore more prone to sickness. And of course a weak point where the kidney is.
Use logic and statistics in arguments not emotional appeals.
I have a potion I need to take every week to stop me turning into a werewolf
Lost a ton of weight, raced bicycles, fought two SUVs at the same time and sent both to the crusher and survived, took the equivalent of a 10 story head first dive on a bicycle helmet.
Broken neck and back makes holding posture like lifting weights. Sitting up or standing is exactly the same thing – hard/hurts and fails after a short amount of time. No one knows exactly what is wrong.
Smart.
Social interactions require as much brain power as a maths exam.
As long as I’m in my goldilocks zone, I’m unstoppable. But I depend on the being both in the right physical environment as well as validation and support from others to get in the right mental state. If I’m left in a bad environment (for myself) I just spiral into a nonfunctional depression.
My hearing has great frequency range… But I often can’t understand people.
My vision is decent, and I can control it well (for seeing stereograms, etc)… But I require glasses to see farther than a few inches (around a decimeter) clearly.
My sense of smell is extremely weak, that’s both a nerf and a buff. But it means my sense of taste is largely based on degree of salty/sweet/etc. and I can’t easily tell nuance (like between different brands of the same food/drink)
I’m a fairly social, enthusiastic person but have a lot of dysphoria around both my appearance and just being human in general
I’m not great at socialization past a superficial level and tend to avoid interactions I expect to be uninteresting and awkward. It has cost me opportunities because there are areas in life where connections and networking are just as, if not more, valuable than skill and hard work.
The balmer peak is not a hoax or conspiracy
I’m really good at picking up skills fast, and also have great timing when it comes to joke delivery and video editing, but I got adhd so I can’t apply myself to do all that, and in turn have a perfection complex that prevents me from seeing the “middle phase” of a project
Hi
I believe those things are related
Sauce: me
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - my body has a bad recipe for collagen so all my tissue is too soft, I get injured very easily and I had arthritis before 30.
You have to also state what’s good about yourself! C’mon, tell us!
If you give me 40min and an internet connection I can become proficient in literally anything mechanical. Build a banjo, lift a house, 3d painting firearms, doesn’t matter. I can replicate it and master it by the 4th try.
Unfortunately I have the attention span of a caffeinated squirrel in a bounce house. Doesn’t matter if I’m a master machinist if I can’t be bothered to actually do it.
I’m apparently very likeable and a quick learner, so I do well at work. Severe anxiety and impostor syndrome make sure I stick around in places I’m apparently overqualified for.
I can handle spiders all day, but if I see a snake I freak out. We have had snakes recently in our basement, so much so that I bought a special snake grabber thingy so I can let them outside.
You’d like Finland. Many spiders in the woods (especially the islands for some reason?), but never seen either of the 2 alleged species of snakes that supposedly exist here.
Mine is I have IgA Nephropathy!
