Reveal something totally unexpected about yourself - Shock and awe awaits - Don't powerlevel

If I'm very stressed over a long period of time, I get really bad night terrors. Instead of my usual thrashing and yelling, I get out of bed and start trying to beat up walls. If the pain doesn't wake me up right then, the bruises on my knuckles and my pissed off neighbours will let me know exactly what happened the following morning. At one point I ended up having to apologise to a neighbour because my other neighbour heard me screaming and thought that the first neighbour was beating the shit out of his girlfriend, and threatened to kill him if he kept it up. I've woken up a couple times just as I was about to punch out a window, but thankfully I've never actually done so.

I don't have night terrors because I was traumatised or abused. I used to get them when I was still in the cradle, according to my mother. I just never grew out of them. If I'm hot, stressed or over tired I'm more likely to get them but they can happen anytime. Whenever I get new neighbours I go and introduce myself and tell them not to panic if they hear blood curdling screams in the middle of the night. I will never share a bed with anyone because I have a legitimate fear that I'll try to strangle them in my sleep.

That sounds absolutely terrible. The worst my night terrors do is the usual thrashing and sweating and sometimes I just wake up and have to stand by my window or move around so I’m tired enough to go back to sleep.

My eyeballs vibrate constantly. It's just congenital nystagmus. When I was a baby the doctors ruled out all the nefarious causes of nystagmus so its just a benign thing. It's super obvious to other people. For some reason when I meet people they point it out to me like I don't know about it or something. I don't notice anything wrong with my vision. I guess this is because I was born with it and my brain stabilizes the picture or something. It's only noticeable if I'm trying to stare at something in the distance. Or if I'm looking at a pattern of vertical black and white stripes. To me patterns like that look like they are flashing lights.

One time I hit my head and went to ED to get the wound closed and the doctor freaked out until I told him my eyes just always do that.

Sometimes bouncers won't let me in to bars even if I'm sober because when people are super drunk they get nystagmus. But usually I can convince them I'm not drunk by saying "congenital nystagmus" without slurring

@SNU this is actually pretty interesting. A relative of mine makes these sorts of involuntary movements with her eyes if she's stressed or tired or concentrating hard, but she's not aware when it happens and she doesn't appear to have any changes in her vision,. It's just something that she's always done.

Hmm. A rabbit hole just opened up in front of me, I think I'll jump down it and see what's in there.
 
Apparently I have a strange accent or at least one that most native English speakers can't identify. Put it this way, several Australians couldn't place it, I either got German and Irish.
 
I am thinking now for some time about trying to become a lolcow.First of all, my internet presence is minimal, i dont have FB,Twitter,anything(except of reddit but its anonymus).
I am a failed narcissist, i also tried many things carrier related and most of them failed,IDK if this deserves a separate thread, I would love some feedback.
Anyway, my vague plan so far comes down to start streaming and finaly expose myself to the world with all my falacies combined with my magical thinking that I will succeed only if i try hard enough.Ofcourse this includes making a living out of it.
Now, you cant force these things, but still, there it is-I actualy want to become a lolcow and try to endure all the lols and keks from the rest of the world.
For starters, I was a moderately good gamer, now with age I became so bad.I learned to hold anger back but its no problem to release it again and start making a fool out of myself.Again, this cannot be forced, its easy to detect bad acting compared to true failure soaked rage-droid.
IDK, what do you think ? I would, in a masochistic way, love to go through the machine and come out on the other side.
Yet, Im probably not even aware of all the consequences this could bring,I might actually flip out for real.But I still think about it often.
