Being able to see during ocular saccades. I was surprised to hear in so many videos “your brain blinds you because it would be nauseating”

No it’s not ? It’s just blurry.

Also, apparently some people can’t consciously control the focus distance of their eyes.

I remember one day realizing it was odd that my dad would hug my mom but my mom would never hug him back. She would just stand there and let him hug her. Yeah he was an abusive husband and I was very happy for her when she finally left him after over a decade!

Knee pain. Everyone told me it was normal growing pains, until one little league coach notice I run weird. Queue years of doctors and specialists and tests and scans and surgeries, and now I'm a 40 something guy with advanced arthritis that could have been much much worse if left untreated.

Being unable to think of something without a prompt.

I guess most people can just remember things without sticky notes and calendars.

Long, skinny stools. Turns out it was because of a precancerous blockage.
