What do you think is wrong with you?

Re: What do you think is wrong with you?

-When I play a video game, I like to do everything myself. If someone plays on my file and does even one little thing that results in some type of progress, I'll later erase the file and start over. I hate that I'm so anal-retentive about such a little thing. At least I don't get mad at people over it. :P

Edit: I am also part of the Can't Whistle Club.

wow there are people that can't whistle that aren't me I feel slightly less abnormal now

I can whistle on the inhale and exhale, so I can pretty much whistle something forever.

Re: What do you think is wrong with you?

I was always able to whistle while inhaling, but it took me years to figure out how to do it while exhaling, which is much preferable.

And yet I was, I think, 12 or 13 before I could snap my fingers.

whistling

I taught myself to whistle when I was like 15 or something? I remember being excited the first time I was able to make a whistling sound. I don't know how big of a factor age, genetics, and muscle memory play a part, but ...

Whistling is something you can do at any time that you're not eating or sleeping (or if you're not allowed to make noise, eheh), and you can do it while doing anything else, so there's a lot of potential practicing time. There's the basic position (first round the lips, curve the edges of your tongue up to your molars, put the tip of your tongue behind your teeth...) and, knowing that, just keep blowing, slightly moving your tongue here and there. After you can make a whistling noise, you focus in on that position. And then there's the game of finding how to move your tongue to make different notes. (A higher/more fronted tongue position makes higher pitches.) For like a month, I could only whistle a single note, everything else just sounding like air. So it takes a while of dedicated practice. Don't get discouraaaged~

P.S. So I can whistle with the tip of my tongue in front my teeth (which feels odd but works the same way) and never tried to teach myself how to do it on the inhale.

A lot... Well, not really... I guess... *thinks*

- Anxiety for sure. (I mildly had this growing up but it's a bit worse now that I am older...)
- Can't sit still/Get bored easily. I always got to be constantly be doing something. (Hyper)
- Thinks I am smarter than everyone. (Even though I am not...)
- Very mild case of OCD. (Nothing I can't control myself though.)
- Extremely picky. (Even my family agrees with me...)
- Overweight. (I am trying to exercise, but I tend to lounge around the house and over eat...)
- Irresponsible. (...I have no life... )

That's all I can think of at the moment... #Harsh_Truth

A tip for inhaling to whistle: MUCH lower flow rate.

Re: What do you think is wrong with you?

Yes, it's fairly easy to whistle both ways once you practice a few times. I actually inhaled the first time I whistled. I didn't comprehend exhaling to do it at first. Eventually, I got it. I was so proud of myself. ^_^

Keep trying/practicing.

Re: What do you think is wrong with you?

i wouldnt even know where to begin damn lets see here

to start things off im overweight
i tend to joke to much and tend to understate
the seriousness of conversations let me demonstrate
when i talk about my problems
be them about life or about death
i'll be overly sarcastic to the point its turned to jest
so now no one can take me seriously and ive lost friends because of it
the third thing that i would mention
is that its really hard for me to give a damn
and its not that i dont care its just that its hard to give a damn
maybe its a lack of self respect for myself and what i do
or the fact that i dont think anything is worth doing
its all the same and nothing is new
i battle with depression yeah suicide has come to mind
i struggle with my vision getting worse i might as well be blind
i forgot how to love and all my relationships have gone to shit
i really want this all to change even if its just a little bit
just the fraction of a smidgen of the shit that i live now
just to say that lifes worth loving
that my life is worth living too but how
can i pretend to change when around ever corner
and around every bend
all i see is death, dissatisfaction, greed, sorrow, and pain
all i see is suffering and negligence its insane how it wont end
i wish that i had faith to believe in god
because maybe if i was showered in ignorance my wounds would mend

I often have extremely poor short-term memory and working memory. There are also a lot of physiological abnormalities that I have as a consequence of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Re: What do you think is wrong with you?

I learned to exhale whistle when I was 7?????

Oh shit I never did learn how to do that finger+mouth whistle though. I could never figure it out.

Me neither. I find that one fascinating. (It's probably easy to do too.)
