Born that way: Discuss your natural advantages

[Queen Victoria]

Must have some kinda gene that makes me really tall. It's an advantage as it means people are less likely to get into fights with me due to an intimidating size but a disadvantage due to the dyspraxia and whatnot.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall is a very literal term in my case. 

An offensive lineman for the N.O. Saints was in the local diner picking up b'fast for some of the players (rookies do this in training camp.)  I asked him to raise his arm and I walked right under it.  Everyone laughed.  He was later cut.  I've suffered anguish that I may have inadvertently contributed to his not making the team.  Good-bye Pierre Jean-Baptiste.

  Adorable anecdote, and it's not your fault he was cut.

My wisdom teeth are perfectly formed normal molars. They came through when I was 14, and caused me no discomfort at all. When I had to have one extracted last June due to an infection in the root, the procedure only took a couple of minutes of very hard pulling and the whole thing came out in one piece. I didn't need stitches, and it healed completely within a fortnight.

  So what happened to the molars they displaced?  Or were there already spaces available for them?

The spaces were already there. Nothing was displaced.

  That's excellent.  One of my molars is still tilted in its socket from the pressure the wisdom tooth
  was beginning to put on it while trying to erupt.  I didn't realize that had happened until I saw
  a mold of my teeth, all relatively straight except for the sort of sideways one in back.

I can move my ears independently of eachother. They move on their own too, but no one notices because they're usually under my hair.

I can move my nostrils, without anything else in my face moving too.

I tried to learn to wiggle my ears, tried really hard, instead my nostrils started moving. So now I can move them at will.

It may be a good way to make people look away, when they stare too much.

I can do that too. Is it not normal?

I only know two others who can do it. My daughter and her best friend.
Was funny, that friend came here, wanted to show off and was moving her nostrils. And both my girl and I answered with doing the same. Kid freaked out. She had never seen someone else do it.

I have always been tall for my age up until high school when other kids started to catch up to me and be taller or my height. I am still taller than average height for women.

  I'm sitting here trying.  It's hard not to move my forehead/eyebrow muscles when I do it.

  Being short gives me a nice low center of gravity.

Same here.

I can also move my nostrils. When I was a kid it was a tic for a while. I can also move my eyebrows independently of each other.
