I was at a wedding tonight and everyone on the dance floor seemed to know what to do with their hands while dancing. I just can’t seem to figure it out.
Executive function.
Legs. I’m a double amputee, and I miss them.

I feel like long legs would also help out in other facets of life.
Like, if you have long pants
You’re a menace

I would say that’s not really minor
Relatively? Yeah. It’s minor. Most people don’t even consider having legs.
Yeah highly disagree there lol
When was the last time you thought: hmm… I have legs. Outside of this post obviously
I dunno I guess every time I use them? Especially during work outs. There isn’t a single thing on me I would be willing to give up or consider “minor.” Unless it’s like eye or hair color. But to lose a finger or toe or a whole leg or both because I don’t spend 8h of my day contemplating their value to me is just not how I roll. Friendo.
I wish I didn’t have this giant penis.
Well spit it out
I’m constantly tripping over mine
I’d settle for a non-shy bladder (a social bladder? An extroverted bladder?)
I’ll trade you! I have to pee about every 20 minutes due to malnurishment as a kid.
A loving family
My heart goes out to you, sweet stranger. ❤️
I’m so sorry, right there with ya
As in parents or spouse and kids?
I was gonna write the same thing. You’re not alone on this one.
A brain that can produce a stable level of serotonin and not go haywire all because the seasons changed.
That and being neurotypical, my life would be much easier if I didn’t have ADHD
I feel you, although I’m not sure this counts as minor
It is minor. People that are neurotypical don’t even think about it and take it for granted. For them it is normal, so it’s not a big deal, they don’t think there’s a struggle there because they don’t struggle.
No allergies. Im allergic to dairy, eggs and most nuts. I’m not lactose intolerant, which I wish I had, because then I could be in the bathroom for a few hours instead of a hospital for a few days. So many things have milk in them, and the few things that don’t put eggs in them too. I can’t eat out.
I feel you. I’m allergy to all nuts (that are tested for) and soy. Dairy, eggs and nuts sounds like a shitty combination because a lot of the vegan stuff is nut-based.
A properly functioning neocortex.
The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.
Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing
I’m a shut-in and I’ll say it doesn’t help living in a sparse area with only a bike*. I usually just ride on the trail to a very close bridge, sometimes I go to the closest town over and buy a few things from the produce section from the local grocery store and that’s it.
Admittedly, I probably still wouldn’t be very social in a denser place (money, but also other issues).
* I don’t want to drive, though lots of ditches around here and there is no north/south trail. So it is a factor.
Oh I got one of those too i need the thing that gets me out of the house. Like a thing that makes me leave the house to go do
Hair

An inner voice. My wife and son both talk about options and choices like they’ve discussed things with another person.
I have to go with plan A. There is no second thought.
Total aphantasia? Same here, but:
No intrusive thoughts, ever.
No visions of, or reliving, trauma.
No sad-memory sounds or tastes.
No facades, so no energy wasted.
And if you got the SDAM bonus, you can re-discover all your favorite books and movies like you never read or watched them before!
As someone with diagnosed anexity. Constant repetive intrusive thoughts and obsessive reliving of past trauma, I can’t help but be a little jealous.
Apologies. I’m sure you have your own complementary problems to over come. I just can’t help and admire the how green your grass looks
My husband is like you, and also wishes for the absolute silence of my mind. But you’re right about green grass - I wish I could visualize happy memories or even picture the people I love.
OMG. There’s a name for it? I have ALL THAT OTHER STUFF!!!
I’m so happy you posted, I’m going deep dive tomorrow!
Buckle up. You’ll discover we have some great advantages, but you may feel cheated out of some abilities, too. You can DM me if you have questions.
I’m 63. I’m about as buckled as I’m gonna get.
Smooth joints, by the time I was 14 I already had clicky joints and now if I stand or sit in the wrong way I need to click them back in
My ankles, wrists, fingers and hips pop so loud the secret police would hear it from down the road and bust me in the attic
A functional pancreas. Worked perfectly fine for 27 years, then my body just decided it was evil. Super neat.
The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

Can confirm, got long fingers, can reach the bottom of most jars.
Make an OK symbol with your middle finger
Move every finger except your index finger to your palm as close to your wrist as possible (in a comfortable manner)
Adjust your thumb so it is on the edge of your middle finger closer to your pinkie (this is to cause more friction between your middle finger and thumb)
Press down with your middle finger and then move your thumb, as quickly as possible, to around where your index finger is
If it works, it’ll cause some burning on your finger and a loud noise, you can massage your palm where the middle finger hits if it’s still muffled, it’s likely stiff.
I definitely misread this and thought you said to put my index on my palm, so I was doing it that way, resting my thumb in my index finger. Definitely not as good as the actual method. Absolutely needs practice, though. Thanks for the help.
Which finger do you use other than your thumb? I use my rong finger, but I’ve seen others that use the middle. I’m sure some wierdo is out there mastering the pointer thumb technique
Middle. I’ve never heard of people using any other fiber, so it’s what I use.
