I thought it would be interesting to make a thread asking posters here if they suffer from any disabilities.. be it mental or physical. What have been your experiences? Cons and possible benefits?
As for me I was born without a sense of smell. Never fully realized it until I was in my early teens. Before that I always assumed my nose must somehow be stuffed up. Or I wasn't trying hard enough to sniff, or that smells were just really subtle and I am too stupid to pick them up. I consider anosmia to be no different than being born blind. In fact it's probably worse..
Nah.. I'm just kidding.. when it comes to disabilities anosmia is probably the bottom of the barrel. Doesn't stop some millennials or some other generation from trying to cash this in for some oppression points though.. lol. Personally I find videos like this funny. Eating food may be a more bland experience, but I also do not have to deal with being penetrated with rotten smells. Which sounds violating. So I think it all evens out in the end.. lol.
Here is one woman who decided to make a whole Youtube channel about it. She's an anosmia activist.
I guess I do worry about not being able to detect rotten food and being burned alive in a fire and whether or not I'm a walking dumpster.. but meh.. lol.
