The only bone I've ever broken was my sternum. I couldn't do sports for several weeks but had no cast or anything to show off. I could only sit there and let my body do the healing.
Well I have a college degree, so people find it funny I never technically graduated high school. Did enough classes to qualify for graduation then ran away halfway through the year and never looked back. I was already enrolled at the college in an arts program so they didn't ask for the certificate. It didn't matter until I tried to get a job in a bureaucracy in my 40s and they wanted evidence of high school diploma. Which I didn't have.
My coworkers are always surprised when they first learn that I didn't even finish high school. I work with people who are mostly highly educated. Most with masters degrees, a few with bachelor's and doctorates. While they were studying, I was geeking out over some project that I did just for fun. Turns out that the skills I ended up with were exactly what my career for the past 15 years needs.
Just sad. My stepsons had never been to a concert and my kids thought that was crazy because I had brought them to shows since they were babies. Like, I can remember my first show but they can't. They all love music now.
I love music but I've just never been, if someone invited me sure I'd go, but other than that not sure why I would want to. At this point I'm probably getting too old for that crowd anyway
Do you live in or near a big metropolitan area? If so you can probably fulfill this one within the month depending on how broad your musical tastes are. Some shows are prohibitively expensive, but a lot of smaller ones are remarkably affordable.
Edit: I myself enjoy a decently broad range of music. One of my favorite types of concerts, though, is when the local symphony puts on a movie and they play the soundtrack. These are really fun because you get to go to a symphony concert but if you get bored you can watch a movie!
Likewise. I had braces twice, a bunch of baby teeth, all wisdom teeth and 2 permanent teeth pulled because my "mouth was too small". I have some fucked up dreams but the scariest ones are those where my teeth are loose or falling out. I think I have dental PTSD...
Granted they're probably made of something that's regulated here so...
Yeah, knew it;
The EU requires warning labels on artificial dyes. And countries like Austria, Finland and Norway don't even take the chance of putting Twinkies on their shelves. Read about Yellow 5 dye and the horrible health effects here.
(such a spammy site no point linking the source I sure that can be checked somewhere else)
I've never watched a football/soccer match. Sure I've seen some guys running on a field in the news, or sat in a bar with some screen in the background. But I have never watched a match in person either and have no interest in doing so.
I don't like or watch hockey but I won tickets to a Canucks game once. It was pretty cool. My favourite part was the timbits team or whatever and it was just a bunch of like 4 and 5 year olds falling all over the ice at half time.
ARFID. Has a common link to autism, but autism serves as a more overarching issue for me. It's my refusal to accept therapy due to some weird complex that's also a problem.
I started this thread thinking I'd have the bravery to answer my own question. I've got a few heavy hitters. But I hesitate because, altogether, they would probably make me uniquely identifiable.
I've never been stung by a bee either! I've had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee's version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in "their" territory. ... My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they'll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It's wild.
Do you mean other people wouldn't believe we've never done it or that they wouldn't believe us if we said we did due to being so associated with never having done it?
People often don't believe I never went to vocal therapy or anything. Some people are skeptical of my NZ accent since I'm not anywhere where it's common and ask if it's artificial. If anything, it actually used to sound more Maori-ish, but certain neurological symptoms when I was little caused it to Kiwify. People think I'm just attention-seeking by having an accent I never asked for.
alls Ill say is : I could turn you inside-out, with what I choose, not to do. Seriously though im way nerdy and introvert type but im in my 50's so like eventually you do things. Never smoked though or taken a non prescription drug unless you include alcohol. Oh kratem but did not really have any effect.
I've never had a headache which wasn't the direct result of hitting my head or a hangover.
I am half convinced people's "random" headaches are all fake and humanity has just kind of silently agreed that "the headache" will be a socially acceptable way to back out of minorly annoying but otherwise low stakes obligations.
I never had one until I was 17 and woke up with a crushing migraine, puking and crying. Those continued (not frequent but crazy intense) until I got pregnant, a pause each time I was. Menopause didn't stop them (so disappointing) but menopause plus low dose hormones has pretty much done the trick.
But I've never had a "regular" headache, like a tension headache. Only migraine, hangover, sinus.
What I wanted to say though is that you are so lucky if your head never hurts, like hurts so infrequently that you think people are faking it. It's a terrible place to hurt.
