Lowkey bummed I don’t have any of the sexy makes-you-a-superhero-genius afflictions like Asperger’s, ADHD, synesthesia, or generational trauma. Just dumb ones — high cholesterol and prediabetes. Not even inherited as heirloom conditions, just mindless eating. Not even left-handedness.

Does aphantasia count?

On the bright side, there is large chance you have a “yet to be identified and named” affliction that you earned from spending so much time writing on the internet 🫡

Imo aphantasia is a peer of all the above.

I say this as a lefty who failed to achieve intellectual greatness despite spending a brief period in a wheel chair at a young age.

I have aphantasia too. I suspect it makes writing easier? Which doesn’t fit the writing is pain group either haha
