Can crack/pop most joints.
Can wiggle both ears individually or together.
I can cause my vision to go blurry on purpose - no idea if other people can?
I can hear some electronic devices that are plugged in, can also hear when certain portable devices have finished charging, so basically I have pretty good hearing.
I can pop my arms out of my shoulder joints, without using my hands, and back in again. Completely painless, but can sometimes do it by accident if I'm leaning against a doorframe etc, or pushing/pulling against something, so I have to be careful.
I can turn my face red by tensing my jaw.
I can turn my eyelids inside out.
I can forcibly go cross-eyed.
The back top of my skull is completely flat. If I shaved my hair off it would look like a chunk is missing haha. This also means there are dents in the middle top either side of my skull as well, almost like it has creased inwards. Was layed on my back too much as a child.
I have a seemingly hidden source of strength, I am very slim and not particularly muscular, but am stronger than some friends who are bigger and more muscular than me. I also find it difficult to add any visible muscle mass. Maybe I have dense muscle?
I think the eye stuff are normal just take a bit of practice. If you have good control of your focus you can see "3D". Try merging the two circles here. Once you get it there's a bunch of interesting things you can do
Thanks, very cool.
I can cross my eyes no problem but can't make them look in opposite directions outward.
And not particularly strong, but "stronger than I look" according to every guy I have playfully wrestled. I don't know if I am strong or other women hold back, though. I never do because I understand guys who look my size have an advantage of like 100% more strength, even if I want to lose I try to win!
I can go cross-eyed in both directions, though I have eye problems related to that anyway, so I don't have to try particularly hard as a result.
I definitely wouldn't say I am "strong", just stronger than what most people expect. I have had some people who were surprised when I beat bigger people in arm wrestles etc. Don't hold back, try to win every time ;D.
Yes, I can focus and unfocus my eyes at will, I too, to razor sharp vision or so blurry that I can't even make out features on anyone's face. (Without going cross eyed, which I can also do with any eye at a time).
It's a good superpower, as I have glasses that I can wear if I want to which are roughly +3.5, but I rarely bother, because I'll just use my eye muscles to see perfectly well,so I never freak out when I lose my glasses or whatever. I
It's really handy for zoning tf out, too. Which is mostly a blessing, but sometimes a curse, especially as I have the inattentive ADHD where I just go blank faced and stare into the blurry distance whilst totally disappearing inwards.
Have you been diagnosed with any hypermobility disorders? You might want to look into some and check with a doctor, because some of them have pretty nasty side effects since they lead to most connective tissue degenerating, even inside your heart
Nah I've not been diagnosed with anything. Be reyt.
