I have always been clumsy.

Just yesterday, dropped a box on my head . Good thing it wasn't heavy

On the other hand, when I was four years old I wanted to write left handed but my old man made me write right handed

And now I am neither right nor left handed nor ambidextrous

So whatever

Exhausted all the time. Almost falling asleep on the way to work

Physically weak

I'm a member of that club also. proprioception is something I always have to micromanage or else.

I'm definitely clumsy. I can occasionally weaponize my clumsiness though.

Just this morning I twisted my ankle stepping on a piece of gym equipment. I've always felt like a pair of eyeballs moving through space. Then my feet remind me they're there and I really should watch where I'm walking.

I’ve always been clumsy, too.

When rebuilding the house we're in, family members used "protection-against-Bestiola" material and called it that way. It turned out to be perforated iron.

I come from a long line of klutzes. It's really annoying. There's always some part of my body that's hurting--which isn't something you'd expect a 19yo to say. At least I usually injure myself in comedic ways so other people can be entertained by it.

My dad was left-handed, my mom is left handed, and I'm very glad no one tried to make me write with my right hand like they did in the bad old days.

But having your writing and especially drawing smear is still a huge pain.

Same! I have often been injured. I've broken several bones, had surgeries, all sorts of ER visits. Turns out, it was likely the ADHD side. I would be so distracted and in my head, impulsive, or looking for some sort of reward, that I would injure myself. Now that I'm medicated, I seem to be much more purposeful with my behaviors, so I tend to get injured less.

I'm left handed. My brother and sister aren't. My parents weren't. I'm way above averagely clumsy.

I also have broken my leg and my arms when younger. I am clumsy / uncoordinated and poor proprioception

I think many of us are hopelessly clumsy.

I’m very clumsy. I once fell down a flight of stairs and broke my big toe. I trip over my own shadow and perform what I like to call random gravity checks. :roll:
