Yes, I'm very clumsy. Spilling stuff, running into things(I swear, walls really run into me. I never see them there until they hit me.), sometimes I just fall over. Stuff I'm holding randomly fly out of my hands.
So...yes, I am.

Very much so. There is at least one food stain on every article of clothing that I own and I swear that I'm going to have a permanent dent in my shins and head. I trip on the stairs at three times a week and hit my head on the ceiling or other low-hanging objects with the same frequency.

I am very clumsy. It's an exception when I make a cup of coffee without spillage. I broke my toes going up stairs on one occasion. One time I glued my fingers together, another time I sewed my finger to my thumb - I know they call it hand sewing but......

I can barely get from one side of a room to the other without tripping over something - in a pinch my own feet will do.

I do not drive after it became clear (about the third time I crashed while trying to learn) that I really cannot judge distance and speed and am just plain dangerous behind the wheel.

I always run into things, sometimes even walls! I drop things a lot too.

i have to shift from foot to foot while standing still so i don't fall over... and when we stand for prayer in church, i have to hang onto the pew in front of me or whoever's standing next to me cause if my eyes are closed, i'll definately fall over!! :lol: i'm always spilling stuff on my shirt... and my feet tilt outward and stuff.. i learned to ride a bike when i was 8, but stopped riding when i was 10 or so, and haven't been able to ride ever since.. i often run into walls or doors or trip and fall.. and i've noticed lately, my right foot will sometimes randomly not lift up as far as i intend it to while i'm walking, so it kinda shuffles on the ground/floor and makes me trip.. :?

That doesn't even make any sense. Meager minds? Average to above average IQ is a requirement for the diagnosis. That's like saying a cat can't climb a tree because of their poor balance and lack of claws.


NAW, I think she was using self deprecating sarcastic humor. :lol: :wink:


Thanks for the translation. I should have clarified that myself originally. :)

all the time! especially knocking into doorframes with my shoulders, smacking my head on things above it, and kneeing furniture.

Definately! I tend to bump into stuff and knock things over all the time! This really doesn't help in the working world. :( Because of it, I have a tendency to slow down and do things carefully - but people (mostly NT) don't want "slow and careful" they want "fast results" even if the results are sloppy and careless.

Here's a story; I was in jr. high school, and in gym class we were running the 100-yard dash. I was a decent runner, but I tripped over my own feet and spectacularly crumbled into a mass of arms and legs. The entire school witnessed and lauuuughed. It was all I could do to raise a hand out of the pile of Me - and flip 'em the bird. ;)

Yes, I'm extremely clumsy. All too often, I accidentally hurt myself in ways that are hard to explain. For example, the other morning, I was sitting up in bed looking at my snake. Then I decided to go back to sleep. When I tried to lie down, I somehow slammed my head against the window behind the bed. Fortunately, the glass didn't break, but I have a big sore bump on the back of my head.

Ugh, that happens to me all the time as well. When I was a kid I had a wooden loft bed and I'd decide to go to sleep and I'd lean back and hit the back of my head on the wood. The same thing still happens to me only it's the wall I hit my head on. My poor kid seems to have the same bad luck, haha.

The same thing happened to me with my wooden loft bed when I was a kid!
