    Like so many people answering this, my height.

    In my case it contrasts with my wife’s height - I’m half a yard (nearly half a meter) taller than she is.

    That I’m missing a couple of body parts… nothing that big, major or important though so it doesn’t really hinder me.

        Couple of teeth, bit of an ear, part of a finger plus a couple of dents on my flesh. Something very big went “boom” near me. I’m also a bit deaf in one ear. I am incredibly lucky to have survived, let alone walk out. All of it will be patched up apart from the finger - even my hearing might come back. You might not notice if you pass me on the street but if you sat opposite me you probably would. It’s no big thing.

    I’m tall, fit, relatively handsome, somewhat charismatic and have good manners.

    Not necessarily how I see myself, but the stack of evidence to the contrary grows higher each day.

    I walk like a giant apparently, or with springs in my shoes. Not sure why I walk this way but its noticeable and many have pointed this feature out.

        • Eating whole fruit with the peel nonchalantly (limes usually, but my favorites are bananas)
        • Miscellaneous lighter tricks involving filling my hand with butane or putting out jet lighters with my thumb/tongue
        • Sticking straws deep into my sinus (Google human blockhead)
        • Holding cocktail straws and cards with my tongue

        This is just what I can pull out on short notice at a bar. Once people find out what I do, they’re usually interested in the details too.

          Oh nice. I only have one real party trick and I’m pretty sure I’d get kicked out of a bar for it (lighting myself on fire)

              Ah I use isopropyl alcohol because I don’t come from the circus performer side of things but the bdsm side. I learned a more unique style of fire play when I was just starting out and was taught to practice on myself until I was certain I wouldn’t do damage to others or buildings

    My apparently encyclopedic knowledge of early internet culture and deep cut 80s-90s media. I knew I was well versed, but thought that what I knew was near baseline. Just recently I had to explain the connection between Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid and the movie Escape From New York to someone astonished I was pulling out all kinds of details from an “obscure” old movie.

    The ADHD.

    Hyperfocus makes me ramble. I’ve also dedicated an enormous amount of time to an abundance of different “talents” and skills.

    It can make people around me feel like “normies”, which is not a self-compliment but an admission of social unawareness.

    I’ve made a concerted effort over the last decade to remind myself to listen intently when people are talking and be aware of my potential to monopolize a conversation. I feel like it’s helped a lot. Connecting with people is important to my mental health. Its always been difficult but its getting easier as I grow older and pay attention to these things.

    My hair gets a lot of compliments but it’s probably the fact that I’m an extrovert with severe adhd so I can really struggle to shut up

    I can project my voice really well. I have a big deep voice. I was a singer at one point. But that was something for my younger years.
