Being an actual person where everything I do isn't too fancy, wannabe grown, picky, spoiled, or out of my league. I want to wear fun clothes and makeup without everyone gawking at it for trying too hard to look like a real person, or everyone angry that it has nice things it doesn't deserve. And probably the ability to enjoy music since I lost that after every single genre I enjoyed was either below society or trying too hard to be More Than.

People are useless stupid cunts
Slightly thicker wrists. Skinny wrists ruin the aesthetics of my arms.
Needlewrist Ned checking in
People existing in society in good faith. People who just want the world to be a better place to live, and aren't willing to shove people down below them in order to get an edge.
Nah, because it's communism /s
I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.
The sad reality is that I'm going to be fine. I'm going to survive the turmoil and probably make money in the process, because I've been lucky before now. I worry for people that haven't been lucky. I worry for people that have been lucky but happen to be the "wrong" race. I worry for my gay friends that are looking at fleeing the country as an easier alternative. I worry for my trans friend that already has fled the country.
The US has always had problems, sure, but nothing like this.

Being alone.
Everyone’s talking about a loneliness epidemic and I’m here wishing I had fewer people around me.
Most of them I love, for sure, but the freedom and relaxation of not having anyone around is addicting and I haven’t had a good hit since 2020
You trade me some of your friends and I'll give you some of my alone time, dealio?

A brain that can produce a stable level of serotonin and not go haywire all because the seasons changed.
That and being neurotypical, my life would be much easier if I didn't have ADHD

The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.
Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing

No allergies. Im allergic to dairy, eggs and most nuts. I'm not lactose intolerant, which I wish I had, because then I could be in the bathroom for a few hours instead of a hospital for a few days. So many things have milk in them, and the few things that don't put eggs in them too. I can't eat out.
I feel you. I'm allergy to all nuts (that are tested for) and soy. Dairy, eggs and nuts sounds like a shitty combination because a lot of the vegan stuff is nut-based.
An inner voice. My wife and son both talk about options and choices like they've discussed things with another person.
I have to go with plan A. There is no second thought.
Total aphantasia? Same here, but:
No intrusive thoughts, ever.
No visions of, or reliving, trauma.
No sad-memory sounds or tastes.
No facades, so no energy wasted.
And if you got the SDAM bonus, you can re-discover all your favorite books and movies like you never read or watched them before!

Being able to eat gluten. So many things have wheat and thus gluten. Soy sauce? Check. Dumpling wrappers basically everywhere in Japan? Check (more flexible and easier to work that pure rice flour). Tons of sauces? Check. Salad dressings? Check (sometimes via soy sauce in Japan).
gonads that produce the correct sex hormones
An interest in dogs. I really dislike them as far as having to live with one which makes dating literally impossible. Using dating sites over the years I've seen probably 80%+ profiles mention loving dogs, needing dogs, stealing your dog, owning all the dogs, some profiles even start with "blah blah dog."
I hate that there's such an obsession with dogs and travel... :(

Two things, I have horrible vision, wear -9 glasses. And I am autistic and have a very difficult time navigating many social interactions, I would love to not have to deal with either of these.
A body that isn't rapidly degrading before I'm even 30.
I had a couple more grocery store stops to make tonight but decided to go home instead because my body hurts and i wanted to stop moving for a while.
Granted, I am fat and sedentary
Illness or lifestyle related? The latter can always be changed, it's never too late to turn things around. A small step every day!
Some lifestyle, with a lot of family history of chronic pain (and a lot of other stuff) that i am about 10 years overdue to actually see a doctor to be on the lookout for.
