    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.

    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.

    Always the bulge. It’s okay, you can look. I’ll keep this just between us.

    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.

    I’m a big guy. Tall, fat, boisterous, strong, opinionated, and outgoing. I love watching people, giving compliments, and delivering a solid joke. I make an impression on people whether I realize it or not. I’m too big to hide so I’ve chosen not to.

    But I’m also an introverted hermit, so I almost never get to be that guy unless I’ve pushed myself to be out and among people.

        • 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
