In inspiration of the other post, what’s your greatest nerf (as in, how are you really good at something but have something that balances you out). So you have to include the good too.

For example, In my case, I’m pretty strong, tall, high stamina, really good cold resistance.

But I have kidney failure and a transplant which means I need to take immunosuppressants every day or I can end up hospitalized, and also therefore more prone to sickness. And of course a weak point where the kidney is.

    Nerfed myself.

    I’m pretty good looking, especially for my age, little short though. Socially competent, creative, interesting (IRL anyway), stylish, “bright normal” IQ, long dong, good stuff.

    Have what my doctor calls “emphysema light” from smoking over 20 years. More active than anyone I know, but I have an inhaler in my pocket at all times and have to eat Advil Cold & Sinus most days to breathe freely. Tried a hit on my wife’s vape last night and about choked to death. I honestly think my body developed a sort of allergy to defend itself from my self-destructive brain. Those two always gotta fight!

    Doesn’t stop me from most anything I want to do, but I need medicine almost every day. Won’t die without it, but being unable to efficiently expel CO2 is taxing on my heart. If my heart is slamming over something stupid, like getting out of bed, that’s my cue to get a pill.

    Interestingly, I get a sort of second wind after 20-minutes of hard exercise. In fact, I have to get out and work hard every day and I’ll start sliding downhill. On top of all that, I’m on the waters around here frequently, have no illusions as to how long I can swim.

    Don’t have a job ATM and am suffering total lack of executive function. That’s far worse than the crippled lungs.
