I didn't learn how to walk well until I got a toy stroller for my second birthday and had something to hold onto.
When I was a kid, my dad got so frustrated trying to teach me to hit a ball with a bat. I'd swing and rarely connect. Catching objects has always been difficult. I was the right-field laughingstock of my softball team.
When I tried to learn how to golf, I'd usually swing and either hit the ground or miss the ball on the tee by swinging too high.
I was physically awkward in my younger years. I was often a laughingstock. I tripped easily, and ran into things that were obvious.
I suck at high-fives.
I'm a decent enough driver, but I had a propensity for scraping the hubcap on curbs when parallel parking.
Heights have always scared me. It took a great effort of will to jump off a high dive, and hitting the water was usually painful because my balance was off.
3-D movies were amazing.
I figured out in my twenties that I don't have stereo vision. I see the world two-dimensionally like a photograph. Objects don't float out.
I'm convinced this has contributed to headaches, neck and shoulder aches, and stomach issues. I think it affects the vestibular impact on my balance.
I was never cross-eyed nor did I have a lazy eye. I had a mild seizure disorder when I was a baby, perhaps that played a role.
I've done my research. There are therapies for this problem. They take a long time. I know of some of the exercises, but I don't have the means for a detailed diagnosis and treatment.
I never told my family about this issue, I don't know why. In part, I was already used to it. In part, they might have rolled their eyes (hah) and criticized. But really, I don't know why I didn't tell them. Maybe one day they'll come to this site seeking answers about my death, read my posts, and have an a-ha moment.
Seeing in 3-D is something I truly wish for. I've seen landscapes float out twice and it was amazing, like a pop-up book in real life. So I know my vision has the ability to align, I just don't know how to do it again. Having seen that, I have a better understanding of how hard my brain has had to work to guess at distances and depth.
Curious as to whether anyone else has this issue. Feel free to share experiences. I've never personally known anyone else with this issue. If you have the ability to see in 3-D, you function as you were born to, and to me you are so lucky. Watch a regular movie and you'll see the world pretty close to how I do.
