Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.

I’ll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.

    I’m mixed handed. Not to be confused with being ambidextrous.

    Mix handedness (cross dominance) is where each hand is used for different things. I write and use silverware with my left hand but if I were to throw a ball or punch something I’d use my right hand.

    Most of the time it results in me not knowing which hand doing a particular thing will be most comfortable with until I do it.

      Large body dominance is different from fine motor handedness, write with right hand but stronger left side, cartwheel left hand first. Or vice versa. It is interesting as heck.

        I’m one of the vice versa. Fine motor left handed, strength right handed. But yeah not ambidextrous. Even the cart wheel hand is the opposite. I find it interesting that exactly these subjects are vice versa.

      That’s exactly how I am, I found out most of it came from my no-clear-dominance eyes. Quick reaction type stuff I usually use my right side, slow steady stuff I use my left side. Archery, shooting, writing, all left handed. Throwing, punching, Frisbee, right handed.

      I agree with the unknown comfort with sides when trying something new. Occasionally I’ll even end up questioning if the other side is better when I do a very infrequent task. It’s like I forgot what hand I normally use

    I don’t know what the reason is, but I have a large friend group of almost exclusively males, and I am a respected, listened to female, who can easily command the room. I can also deadlift twice my body weight.

    I can basically ride a bicycle forever as long as I eat and drink enough, until the lack of sleep overwhelmes me.

    People keep commenting on how extremely fit I must be.
    But honestly, if you find the right pace it’s like a brisk walk, and if your bike and your clothes fit, it’s more comfortable than that.

      I would think the environment factors into that a lot too. I’ve had 30 mile rides kick my ass more than 80 mile rides due to things like hills and wind. But put me on a stationary bike and I could probably go 150+ miles in a day.

    I dislike being observed. If someone comments on me in any capacity (clothes, looks, humor, etc.) Whether positive or negative I get uncomfortable.

    That being said, currently a bright orange top.

    Otherwise I’m a very average looking person who wears mostly black, dark blues, and some greys.

    I’m 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall, that is many more Oreos than most, but not as many as some.

    I’m attractive, moderately charismatic, large, weird, generally kind, and unable to shut my damn mouth.

    I’m able to blend into my surroundings, but I have to choose to. The rest of the time yeah, everyone figures out who I am

    Not sure if this is quite what you’re asking about, but my speech tends to be a bit stilted. Enough so that people sometimes comment.

    Physical features, though? Nothing I can think of.
