    In inspiration of the other post, what's your greatest nerf (as in, how are you really good at something but have something that balances you out). So you have to include the good too.

    For example, In my case, I'm pretty strong, tall, high stamina, really good cold resistance.

    But I have kidney failure and a transplant which means I need to take immunosuppressants every day or I can end up hospitalized, and also therefore more prone to sickness. And of course a weak point where the kidney is.

      Lost a ton of weight, raced bicycles, fought two SUVs at the same time and sent both to the crusher and survived, took the equivalent of a 10 story head first dive on a bicycle helmet.

      Broken neck and back makes holding posture like lifting weights. Sitting up or standing is exactly the same thing – hard/hurts and fails after a short amount of time. No one knows exactly what is wrong.

          Smart.

          Social interactions require as much brain power as a maths exam.

              My hearing has great frequency range... But I often can't understand people.

              My vision is decent, and I can control it well (for seeing stereograms, etc)... But I require glasses to see farther than a few inches (around a decimeter) clearly.

              My sense of smell is extremely weak, that's both a nerf and a buff. But it means my sense of taste is largely based on degree of salty/sweet/etc. and I can't easily tell nuance (like between different brands of the same food/drink)

                As long as I'm in my goldilocks zone, I'm unstoppable. But I depend on the being both in the right physical environment as well as validation and support from others to get in the right mental state. If I'm left in a bad environment (for myself) I just spiral into a nonfunctional depression.

                  I’m not great at socialization past a superficial level and tend to avoid interactions I expect to be uninteresting and awkward. It has cost me opportunities because there are areas in life where connections and networking are just as, if not more, valuable than skill and hard work.

                    I'm a fairly social, enthusiastic person but have a lot of dysphoria around both my appearance and just being human in general

                        I'm really good at picking up skills fast, and also have great timing when it comes to joke delivery and video editing, but I got adhd so I can't apply myself to do all that, and in turn have a perfection complex that prevents me from seeing the "middle phase" of a project

                            Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - my body has a bad recipe for collagen so all my tissue is too soft, I get injured very easily and I had arthritis before 30.

                                I’m smart and cute and nice, but I have ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety and my immune system hates itself. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have those though 🤔

                                  Nerfed myself.

                                  I'm pretty good looking, especially for my age, little short though. Socially competent, creative, interesting (IRL anyway), stylish, "bright normal" IQ, long dong, good stuff.

                                  Have what my doctor calls "emphysema light" from smoking over 20 years. More active than anyone I know, but I have an inhaler in my pocket at all times and have to eat Advil Cold & Sinus most days to breathe freely. Tried a hit on my wife's vape last night and about choked to death. I honestly think my body developed a sort of allergy to defend itself from my self-destructive brain. Those two always gotta fight!

                                  Doesn't stop me from most anything I want to do, but I need medicine almost every day. Won't die without it, but being unable to efficiently expel CO2 is taxing on my heart. If my heart is slamming over something stupid, like getting out of bed, that's my cue to get a pill.

                                  Interestingly, I get a sort of second wind after 20-minutes of hard exercise. In fact, I have to get out and work hard every day and I'll start sliding downhill. On top of all that, I'm on the waters around here frequently, have no illusions as to how long I can swim.

                                  Don't have a job ATM and am suffering total lack of executive function. That's far worse than the crippled lungs.

                                    Excepting the immune disorder, exact description of my 12yo daughter. She's starting the long road from child to adult and I have no idea how to help her navigate that. Like her paternal grandmother, she'll be very attractive. No idea how to help her navigate being a total hottie and nervous as a chihuahua. Wish my mom was around to talk to her over the next several years. I'll take any advice ya got!

                                    Her mom won't be any help at all. Despite having all the elements to be attractive, she refuses, loathes anyone looking at her. Got that way growing up poor as a church mouse and being bullied for it. Imagine being so poor that Arkansas kids bag on you. What a world.

                                      Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - my body has a bad recipe for collagen so all my tissue is too soft, I get injured very easily and I had arthritis before 30.

                                        Smart.

                                        Social interactions require as much brain power as a maths exam.

                                        More. Math is logical and consistent. There's no rigor involved in devising social solutions.

                                          In inspiration of the other post, what's your greatest nerf (as in, how are you really good at something but have something that balances you out). So you have to include the good too.

                                          For example, In my case, I'm pretty strong, tall, high stamina, really good cold resistance.

                                          But I have kidney failure and a transplant which means I need to take immunosuppressants every day or I can end up hospitalized, and also therefore more prone to sickness. And of course a weak point where the kidney is.

                                          I'm like wicked smaht, but I get so bored so, so fast. I get pretty good at most things I try by the time I get bored, but I rarely have the patience to truly excel.
