I have hair on my back
Apparently I’m good at satirical mono acting
That if I’m eating and or trying something new and I don’t like the taste I will take it out with my fingers and put it back on some corner on my plate no matter how fancy the restaurant is lol like I ain’t swallowing something that taste like shit. My best friend pointed it out and I realized I did it so casually didn’t stop me but I found it quite funny.
When I take a pill, I go water first, then pill. It cracks my boyfriend up. Usually it’s the opposite: pill first, then water. I didn’t notice I did it differently until he mentioned it
I’m hot.
-when writing, I start some of my letters the opposite of what’s “normal”, but they turn out the same
– I can come off as stoic/aloof to some, and very extroverted to others.
Like 95% of the things I thought were my personality are actually trauma responses
when i walk my right arm moves in longer “strokes?” than my left arm does.
My generosity towards others. I struggle with feeling guilty and selfish so it never occurred to me that other people don’t see that.
Even when I am struggling to do what I consider the bare minimum for another person; what little I give is apparently more than others would ever hope or ask from another person.
I don’t know if I just grew up in a screwed up situation that led me to believe that I don’t do enough. Or if the world is so screwed up that showing basic human decency is a grand gesture of heroism.
Apparently my eyes are very pretty. Ik this because I got asked out whenever I wore a mask but not when I didn’t. Heartbreaking but I wasn’t looking to date anyways so *shrug*
The ten-year-old photo I keep using as a professional “profile picture” looks absolutely nothing like me today.
I was unconsciously channeling my mother, when I was fighting with my bf. Growing up I never liked the kind of relation my parents had and never wanted to be like them. But while I was having a fight with my bf, I dint know I was acting like her/being dominant like her exactly. After a few days my bf sat me down and shared his perspective of that fight, how he felt about my behaviour and then I realised that I was being my mom. Learnt a good lesson and got better, having a much healthier relation with my bf now.
That I have a very specific type when it comes to the guys I date. Not that I ONLY date these types of guys but the best experiences I have had with dating fell into a very specific category; nerdy, lean with nice arms, introverted, dark hair, glasses, and owns a leather jacket.
I have a really short torso. I never thought about my torso length until I got fitted for a backpacking pack
Generalized anxiety disorder. I had no idea I had a problem w anxiety, due to the fact I’m high functioning, until my therapist told me. Apparently, having anxiety because everything is going well is a sign of an anxiety disorder, who knew?
When I’m writing with pen to paper I move my mouth and smile a lot. A friend thought I was enjoying my own writing but turns out that’s just how my mouth do
That I’m not chubby like I think sometimes! I still need to workout more though Haha
That I have a very high-pitched voice. I was never really aware until I had a job review and they told me to “deepen my voice” to make it more professional. IDK how they expected that to work lol.
that i was attractive
that i was confident (in reality, i just figured i was so UNattractive so i walked around without trying because i didn’t think anyone would look or care, ha)
and that i (used to) complain a lot.
I snore ridiculously loud 😳
I’m toxic. 😅
I have tiny ears.
I didn’t like peaches because they make my mouth really itchy.
I now know I’m allergic to peaches.
Two things come to mind. First if I am eating something and don’t like the taste but want to finish the mouth full I will tap my fingers in a random order (I do this when I’m listening to music but didn’t know I did it with food).
Two. I might have undiagnosed ADHD…welp 22 almost 23 years old and I don’t think it’s affected much aside from attention
TMI but i apparently brush my teeth loud AF. Coughing up mucus takes some effort lol
That I get really hangry. It wasn’t until my friend said it that I realised but it’s true. When everything is irritating me, I feel so much better when I’ve eaten something.
I’m actually funny 😁 granted it’s sarcastic,self deprecating comedy because it’s my trauma response. Thanks Cancer!
My nose is big.
I’m ugly and I talk too much
How pedantic I am. When I feel like engaging in a disagreement or argument, whatever I initially have the urge to respond to is usually the way someone phrased something. I have slight corrections instead of substantive disagreements. Must be pretty annoying. I’m learning how to filter that
That I’m always second guessing myself. It made me realize just how terrified I am of making the “wrong” choice, that I can’t trust my own judgment.
That my voice goes way up and is more “girly” when I speak in my second language. My friends pointed it out once when I was ordering at a restaurant, and haven’t let me live it down since.
Logically I know that bad things have happened to me that would take most people down, down, down. I still have a hard time with feeling silly to say “I’ve had it rough” since my current status would be considered very privileged.
Being a woman in engineering, I battled imposter syndrome and generally engaged in a lot of negative self talk. I felt/feel very deeply that I try so hard and get nowhere, failing fast & often.
My undergrad program has their own graduation ceremony the day before the university commencement ceremonies. The dept chair has made it a tradition for all the program students to submit words describing the graduating seniors, which are then used to make a word art map to talk about each graduating senior at our private ceremony and how the program is proud of these skills, etc.
My #1 word was perseverance.
This means so much to me as a survivor. I’m still here, and I’m still here because of me.
