Somehow this idea popped into my mind.
If it's too personal, you have no need to post it.
Just thought I'd ask whether other people on here are limited to what they can/can't do for various reasons.
For instance, I can no longer run. The injury that was just sorted out yesterday left me with tears of the LCL and ACL (maybe PCL) ligaments of the right knee, as well as serious cartilage tears. This means, that much like the much adored Dr Gregory House, I will need to walk with a walking stick for sometime. It also means that I can never join the armed forces as I have had surgery that is more risky than a simple arthroscopy.
The injury means that sports like jogging, running, football, rugby, hockey etc are no longer available to me due to the amount of force being exerted on the knees. This is due to hyper mobility syndrome whereby my joints are hyper lax (or just simply unstable).
I also cannot donate blood. As I suffer from the permanent symptoms of glandular fever (chronic fatigue syndrome, the prevalence of the illness in my blood...), donating my blood would contaminate any person that requires the same blood type as me. I am not willing to risk someone else's life when they can have blood that is not contaminated and potentially save them.
I must confess to be a decent amateur/non-qualified psychologist. I take the study at school but I've always had a knack for understanding what someone is coping with, be it an illness or a personal matter. I've always been able to give what people say is good advice.
I'm also a pretty good lie detector and judge of character. I'm a big people-watcher as I like to understand people from a distance before I actually meet them. That way, I'll know if I'll like them or not, but I don't use that as conclusive evidence.

As pointed out by LFF and Angel, we have to recognise also what we are really good at, and not focus on the down points! (How about changing the title to something like "Things you're good at" or the like, so this doesn't turn into a thread of depressionI must confess to be a decent amateur/non-qualified psychologist.
