Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.

I'll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.

I was once not spotted whilst wearing a bright fluorescent orange cycling rain jacket and standing 6'5" tall in an office of suits.

Right now? I'm a 6'2" pasty white guy in Asia (or Casper per my favourite overheard discussion).

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'm currently taller and very much paler than those who grew up in this area.

I'm constantly making yipping noises and grinning because I'm an autistic fox 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

In the same vein I have odd shaped feet. They are very narrow at the heel but get really wide at the ball of my foot. My sister used to tell me I had tennis racket feet. Never found shoes that would fit. Regular would be too tight on my toes but wide would be too loose on my heels.

That was until I found Altra. They actually make shoes that fit my foot shape. Consequently, they stopped me from getting shin splints too.

I have a fair amount of freckles. I don't come from or live in an area where it's very common.

I have been told multiple different times by a number of different people that I have an attractive clavicle and shoulders.

I've got an outie

Considering I'm in the most colonially-connected state in the US, everything. If someone saw me, their reaction would be how little I remind them of the hunt.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Thanks, Pipey.

Nothing. I avoid going outside as much as possible and I'm wearing earbuds all the time. So people leave me alone.
