So GTPlanet, what would your biggest curse be? Something you were born with or got that can make your life a living hell on occasion?

Mine would be my imagination. Many would say having an incredible imagination would be a gift, but I disagree. I can't stand it half the time. Either it makes me think up story's while walking around the house, which makes others think I'm crazy. I don't see anything out in front of me, only what's in my head. Other times it makes me have really, really vivid dreams. Then it can make me worry way to much, and it's what makes me such a hypocondriac.
 
Developing a massive overbite only to be partially corrected and breaking my nose when I was younger only for it to heal back together slightly crooked. And I absolutely hate how my face looks from the side.
 
Dyslexia, It's not exactly something that screws with my daily life, but at least I try not to let it.
 
I guess being born with ginger hair would be my curse :lol: apparently I have no soul, but it's okay i'm not religious anyway.
 
Having a massive appetite that will probably make me about 30 Stone as soon as my metabolism starts to slow down.
 
Either being rather too tall or having an abnormally large head. And maybe being quite lazy.
 
Anger, Mild Asperbergers, Being 13 weeks premature...
 
Rare form of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, including all the free extras a handicap like this can have. 24/7 in my bed, couldn't even leave my room without a lot of pain and stress until I got a sliding door for it which leads outside November last year. Longest time I haven't left my room in a row was 5 years (2003-2008) and then 3 years (2009-2012).

Hope this still fits into the thread. :lol:
 
My laziness. Definitely. I got a C in a class this year when i had the mental ability to get over 100%. I just never did the homework.
 
ADHD and dyslexia. I also have a slight studder to my speech. The ADHD isn't as bad when I was younger but it's still there. Dyslexia on the other hand sucks, thank God for the auto-correct these days.
 
" A pox on you!!!"

What? A disability of some sort? Oh! Thought you meant my biggest curse . . .OK - it would be the fact that I had to wear glasses from when I was 9. A pox on that! I don't like wearing glasses, and I can't stand sticking stuff into my eyes, so no contacts either. Laser-vision is an option I might look at later, though.
While at school, getting into fights was a real pain - my glasses of course didn't give off a particularly mucho look. Came to the point where I viciously broke my glasses before the fight in my opponents face before slugging. This sometimes ended the fight.
I still dislike wearing glasses though - and even though I have three pairs with the same prescription (from fancy to utility) I can end up misplacing all of them.
Quite a curse. Wonder who cursed me, the bastard.
 
Anger. I've always been the type who snaps first and asks questions later. I've had anger management courses, seeked help from web groups, GP's, friends and yet nothing helps. I've been like it all my life and can't help it. I get home from work and have to spend 15 minutes on my punch bag!! Sometimes even stuff on here makes my blood boil, haha! I never deliberatly look for fights but i'll never back out of one. Call it the Marty McFly syndrome. :mad:
 
my temper. I dont' get angry often, but when I do...well...

I probably shouldn't have been set off. I just tried to pull out of the way of a fire truck...guy got angry when I pulled back onto the road and brake checked me...I completely lost it and flipped him off, and then we began chasing each other on the city streets until we confronted each other at the bank. I pulled out a crowbar, but thankfully neither of us decided to get physical.

I...I wish I could say I was sorry to him now. I feel horrible.

My mind and imagination is just waaaay to active. I get OCD with silly things and I suffer insomnia more often then I would like.
 
Openhearted threat this is. :bowdown:

My curse would be my eyes, acne and psoriasis.
I've had +10d glasses since I was 4 years old.
Yes 10d is about the same as the bottom of jars.

Arriving in puberty acne kicked in, now I'm 37 years old and still have pimples and zits :indiff:

My psoriasis is mostly on my scalp, meaning it gets often mistaken for dandruff.
But dandruff does not every now and than appear in your eyebrows or cheekbone. Or have 5x5mm flakes :guilty:
This has been so bad that during childhood we had to change barbers because the one we had didn't want to cut my hair anymore because of it, luckily it is not that bad anymore.

That would be about it.
There were some other things but regression-therapy took care of that 👍

Really bad asthma, I'm on way to much medication for it and it does some funny things to me that I really don't like. But it's either feel weird or stop breathing so feeling weird isn't all that bad considering the alternative.
 
My hearing disability which had caused all sorts of problems. Firstly, it lead to a speech impediment, due to not hearing the sounds I was supposed to pronounce in words. Secondly, this lead to me being grouped with the "special" kids. (Not an experience I would wish upon anyone to endure, especially when you know you're not one of "those people," pardon the political incorrectness)


Unfortunately I was too adaptable for my own good, and they never discovered the hearing problem until 4th grade. I passed all the previous hearing tests because, apparently, they never covered up their lips with a piece of paper. :lol: Turns out I was lip reading people all that time without realizing it. :lol:


It's really as much of a gift as it is a "curse" in a lot of ways. :)
 
I have a friend with a speach imediment. At times it's difficult to understand him but he knows and we make a big joke out of it lol.

It's funny because he's a jacked up dude that wouldn't hurt a fly lol
 
Asperger's Syndrome.

Being autistic is a right pain. The worst thing was when I had this teacher in school who kept shouting at me to "LOOK ME (Her) IN THE EYE WHEN YOU (Me) TALK TO ME(!)(Her)" and then got even more annoyed when I stared intensely in her eyes when I spoke to her...

Add ADHD, OCD, complete lack of appetite, inability to cope with somebody talking about something being in the bloodstream, a back that got put out from too much time studying in school and not enough time running around screaming like an idiot, inability to stop listening to Cardiacs and/or Radiohead, starting puberty at an incredibly early age, insomnia and a tendency to start talking in an incredibly strong BBC 1940s news reporters received pronunciation accent, and I think you'll get the jist.

Also, I believe I may be a deranged psychopath with a Schizoid Personality Disorder, but I am unsure. :scared:

Oh and add putting smilies at the end of every post to that list as well will ya? :)

If you are having problems with zits, I had a major prob, was on steroids, all kind s of pills and roll ons, then a chemist recommended SebaMed I was totally sceptical, but within a few weeks I was all cleared up. I had acne very bad, but was so lucky that I did not scar.

This may work for you or it may not.

Pics of the head or GTFO. :)

I suffer from bipolar disorder which could be called a curse, yet without it I wouldn't be me. I also have a slight attention problem but I would go so far as to say it's ADD.

OCD is another of my 'curses' which sees me either constantly twiddling my hair around my fingers, or in the days before my hair was long, picking at things on my face.

Alcoholism - is it a curse? I don't know. I believe that it's hereditary (in my case) but it's something I've been learning to manage.

Oh, and I'm a lefty so definitely cursed! :D
