From my immediate environment? I sit on the toilet, the toilet does not sit on me.

For now
Also I wip with the TP The TP doesn't wipe with me
the bidet temporarily connects my butthole with a near infinite series of tubes containing pure water and in that moment I am the clean water and the clean water is me

That's some wild poetry there.

I'm mixed handed. Not to be confused with being ambidextrous.
Mix handedness (cross dominance) is where each hand is used for different things. I write and use silverware with my left hand but if I were to throw a ball or punch something I'd use my right hand.
Most of the time it results in me not knowing which hand doing a particular thing will be most comfortable with until I do it.
I had no idea there was a word for this, I'm the same way.
Large body dominance is different from fine motor handedness, write with right hand but stronger left side, cartwheel left hand first. Or vice versa. It is interesting as heck.

That's exactly how I am, I found out most of it came from my no-clear-dominance eyes. Quick reaction type stuff I usually use my right side, slow steady stuff I use my left side. Archery, shooting, writing, all left handed. Throwing, punching, Frisbee, right handed.
I agree with the unknown comfort with sides when trying something new. Occasionally I'll even end up questioning if the other side is better when I do a very infrequent task. It's like I forgot what hand I normally use
Well iβm in the .1% for height, I guess that helps me to stand out.
Head and shoulders above the rest.
I can basically ride a bicycle forever as long as I eat and drink enough, until the lack of sleep overwhelmes me.
People keep commenting on how extremely fit I must be.
But honestly, if you find the right pace it's like a brisk walk, and if your bike and your clothes fit, it's more comfortable than that.
I would think the environment factors into that a lot too. I've had 30 mile rides kick my ass more than 80 mile rides due to things like hills and wind. But put me on a stationary bike and I could probably go 150+ miles in a day.
You must have Dutch blood.
I actually do. I participated in a 1-day 250km group ride in the Netherlands recently. But I did it on easy mode with a road bike, there were people riding a traditional baker's bike (including the box) while wearing wooden clogs.

Nothing.
Get close enough to me in a very quiet area, specifically close to my heart, and you will hear ticking noises. Freaked out my older brother once because of that scenario. Mechanical heart valve.

I have a "unique" accent of some kind. Basically, I don't sound like I'm from "around here", even though I have lived in the same area for my entire life and so have my parents. Probably because I read a lot more than I actually talk to people.
I dislike being observed. If someone comments on me in any capacity (clothes, looks, humor, etc.) Whether positive or negative I get uncomfortable.
That being said, currently a bright orange top.
Otherwise I'm a very average looking person who wears mostly black, dark blues, and some greys.
Reminds me of Jung's theory around The Gaze, and how by ourselves we are our own subjects, capable of authoring our own paths, but as soon as another being is introduced and we're subject to their gaze, their own aspect of being a subject necessarily forces some objectification upon us (and us on them). It's interesting theory, and a good examination of why some people feel so incredibly uncomfortable with others around.
I may have to look into that to some. I've never been good around people, but specifically when they say something it's much worse.
Sort of in a similar vein, I don't like mirrors because it makes me see myself which presents an image that does not match the way I feel I present myself or my internal image of myself. it's less a matter of attraction or confidence so much as a disillusionment.

I have been told, on multiple occasions, that I have a strong sense of justice. Somehow I doubt thatβs a good thing, as all itβs done is get me in trouble.
Also have been told that I have a voice for radio. I was born about twenty years too late for that to be relevant, I always reply. βStart a podcast!β they say. I tell them I tried and it failed because I can read from a script great, but I have zero ability to be witty.
You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.
You donβt need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.
Get it submitted wherever you can, youβll never know what might come of it.
I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.
One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.
Yes, me too! The justice part. I am very principled. And it is something that I, sometimes (?) hate about myself. I think it mostly drives people away.
I figure many people on Lemmy are the same in that regard, very principled people.
This sounds like something you could fix with practice. Maybe try reading books out loud. People with pleasant voices can also make audio books, although I don't know how much they pay.

I don't know what the reason is, but I have a large friend group of almost exclusively males, and I am a respected, listened to female, who can easily command the room. I can also deadlift twice my body weight.
i don't
I'm very beautiful
Oh my
Nice try, NSA.
Iβm attractive, moderately charismatic, large, weird, generally kind, and unable to shut my damn mouth.
Iβm able to blend into my surroundings, but I have to choose to. The rest of the time yeah, everyone figures out who I am
I always think I stand out but I probably donβt.
Have you tried barefoot shoes?
I'm a 6' 4" albino with a foot long beard.
Do you have a quest for me?
Tall. Beard. Green eyes.
What makes you stand out?
Standing up
I'm 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall, that is many more Oreos than most, but not as many as some.
anyone in public sees me as a crazy,unhinged and weird person. but I don't want to stand out that way.....
Not sure if this is quite what you're asking about, but my speech tends to be a bit stilted. Enough so that people sometimes comment.
Physical features, though? Nothing I can think of.
i just let out a giant fart
I have red curly hair and I tend to wear big hats and sunglasses in the summer, and I find that makes people (read: men) stare at me. Idk.
I'm also fanatically polite and nice in person, and people respond a lot. Bad manners is my pet peeve.
I have a forked tongue
I bet it's fun for two people with forked tongues to kiss. There's a lot more you can do.
