Everyone is unique and has something that makes him different from other people. Talents, diseases, histories etc. I thought about hearing interesting stories of people.
For an example: Are you homosexual, do you have a habit that always annoys other people, are you extraordinary if it comes to maths?
Such things.
I hope some people actually write something that is discussable. And it's supposed to be ONLY a discussion. Questions are welcome, answers too. But please don't let this thread go into some spam thing. We all know that you can see lines. Thanks =)
For me, it's this:
I have decreased feelings. There's a gene missing in my skin that produces enzyme for my nerves and they are rare and some kind of numb. It's not as extreme that I can hold my hand into fire and feel nothing. I have just reduced feelings.
I can't feel a soft breeze, I don't feel rain. I can imagine how those things feel, but I never felt it. I only feel strong wind, and not much of it. So I think that my feeling of strong wind would match yours of a soft breeze. Just only without the hair flying around 'n stuff.
I'm not ticklish. I don't feel light pain. One day in school a guy came when I was concentrating and cut my arm with a knife. I didn't even notice it, only after some girls screamed about the blood that was everywhere on the table. I was so fucking surprised.
And it has a big disadvantage. Sex. I CAN have sex and it works fine, but I feel near nothing. This is propably the most broken and annoying thing about my disease. My body reacts and enjoys it but I can't, which makes sex something totally strange. My girlfriend said once to me that I am as cold as ice since I "don't enjoy". She didn't know about my disease then.
Also, I had tinitus for 4 years. It started after an accident with a car. This accident caused the tinitus thing. It's hell, I tell you. People who have it and enjoy their life fully have my biggest respect. It's annoying, driving you crazy. You can't sleep, can't concentrate, listening to music is different and you need to hear it loud to enjoy it without this beep-tone.
After 4 years, I had an accident again, with a car. The tinitus disappeared. The docs didn't know why, but I was so happy.
Mh. Bleh. So I think, I'm special somehow. What about you?
