Even with countless practices, I can't seem to do it.

Everyone thinks I'm weird because of this... :lmao:

Like when a person winks at you and you're doing this weird shut your eyes thing in attempt to wink back because you can't wink properly and end up looking like a ret*d.

I know somebody that can't wink too...lucky she's adorable

Please don't give it another thought...usefulness of wink is limited

Yeah same here, lol. Although I occasionally use a wink online, I can't think if a situation in real life where I ever would wink at someone to be honest.

I can only do it sorta with my left eye but I have to move my upper cheek muscles to keep the eye closed.

Can't do it with my right eye at all.

I can wink but I never do it IRL. It seems awkward. If someone winks at me, usually I just smile back.

It feels weird doing it with the left eye, right eye is ok.

I've known a few people like that. It frustrated one of them to no end for some reason.

i knew a genius-level medical doctor who was totally incapable of longitudinally looping her tongue into a "U" shape. [whatever that is called] this frustrated her to profanity. i wondered how somebody with such a high IQ would have that deficit but she told me that there is a gene which codes specifically for the ability to do that, and she lacked said gene. i wonder if there is a gene which covers the ability to multitask [blink with left OR right eye] as well.

I was like that when I was little but I sorted forcing myself by closing both & then holding it down with my finger while opening the other & closing it with my finger after I had opened them both. I can do it now without using my fingers but I harder than the other; I need to practice more
