[Red Fortune]

There are certain colours that have the same effect on me as nails scratching a chalk board, some shades of yucky, yucky pinks and pure magenta of any shade. It is manageable, though.

I also have 16/20 vision.

I exceed at some mental attributes amazingly (abstract reasoning to name one), but I'm not sure if that counts, does it?

Oh and I basically have the ability to switch between hearing things for just the sound frequencies and vibrations (e.g. the vibrations of a persons voice instead of comprehending the actual words) and hearing things for what my brain translates them as... I can literally tune out from what someone is talking about while still listening to their voice...

But often the sounds irritate me, a LOT.

This.

Also, about the hair thing, I have really hairy genes.
Legs were fully covered in hair at about 12, arms got noticeable, but not very dark at 13, facial hair including sideburns at 14, and now the beginnings of a neckbeard at 15.

Waitwaitwait. Are you a girl?

That's the only reason I can think of that would prevent you from getting facial hair. And even then...

Or are you an Elf?
Maybe something horrible happened to your testosterone glands?

Oh, right. I can see that being confusing. Yes, I'm a girl.
Whoa! Maybe I have that Durhams thing, my feet are cold even as we speak type! Success.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but cold feet are very common for women. For some obscure biological reason.

Well, so much for my good cheer. Thanks, internet! Now I can NEVER be subnormal! D:

You're a girl.
On the internet.
Not as unusual as it's hyped up to be, but still unusual.
Congratulations on being different.

So theres a lot of ear-related things in hear, like that ringing people hear in silence. That ones on Wikipedia though, I recall is being some sort of genetic trait.

Eh, a friend of mine is freakishly tall ( I believe he's pushing 6'5", now ) but the downside to it is that his heart is relatively weak and his extremities are ALWAYS freezing. It's a medical condition, and you can have normal sized parents and be massive with it.

If you're really tall, I'd get that checked out.

EDIT: Oh, and I find it's VERY rare that I get bit by insects. When kids used to have lice in school, I'd never get them, and when my dog has fleas I'm quite happy to let it sleep next to me, because I get at most one or two bites when other people would be bitten to bits. It doesn't seem to be hereditary, either, because my parents seem to get bitten at a normal amount.

5'4''. So much for that one.
As for the girl/internet thing, as amusing as it is, it doesn't seem all that true in reality. I've encountered quite a few women online, as many as men. Even here, if some of my assumptions are correct, theres a larger female population that stereotypes would expect of something so, uh, niche, I'll say, as Bay 12.

So I'm sort of curious about the people who claim they can engage in conversation and instantly detect if people are lying or not, and all that. It seems that a power like that could go a long way towards making people social overlords, you know?

It's probably something in your sweat that the bugs don't like.

If it height we're talking about now, I think I've hit 6'5" as well. But that's not strange where I live, where everyone native is either in excess of 6'3, or under 5'2".

gogo Viking/Saxon/Gaul/Franco/Anglo genes.

It's mostly in the eyes. Sometimes, with either good instincts or practice, it can be in tone of voice and the the way they're holding themselves.

I just watch people's eyes. If they look down and to the left, they're usually inventing something as a lie. You usually have to be a pretty good liar to fool me ( sadly cheating a cheater works in this case =p ). Training yourself to look to the right when you're lying is one of the ways to make sure you can get away with lying.

Uncomfortable oddity of mine: As a male, I naturally produce lots of heat. I, however, produce too much ( usually around 38 degrees celsius in my palms ), and usually feel ill and drowsy because of it ( heating of stomach, which kills enzymes, and heating of... other places, which leaves me a bit worried ). Then again, it's considered a good thing by a few women. I've been describe as a walking furnace. Anyone else get this?

[Akigagak]

Must..resist...bad...joke.

And no, I don't have nearly enough insulation to be described as that.

[Renault]

Pathos, what do you do when people dont make eye contact? Or, if they're more like me and look to the left constantly, even when I assume I'm telling the truth? I just kinda constantly look left and right, especially at the corners, mainly because of my generally shifty and fidgety nature. A friend once said I reminded him of an Oblivion character because of it.

[ein]

Also with the lying, there are these things called microexpressions.
Those are part of what I was talking about.
It's essentially when they unconsciously make an expression for a fraction of a second.
Microexpressions aren't just about lying either, they can show anything.
I believe the eyes thing is a special subset of these.

Lack of confidence. I know, I do that too.
Hmm, this really isn't going well as to finding something unusual about you. Maybe that's what makes you so unique, that there's absolutely nothing unusual about your body or your mind, when most people have one or two things that aren't the norm.

Oh god. I'm Captain Marvel.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I leave the thread in shame, defeated.
