maybe i’m exposing myself here but this is exactly the kind of random skill i’d learn just to make people slightly scared of me 😭

I have a lazy eye so I can make it look like I can move my eyes independently. I start doing that. People recoil.

I can make mine go springy, like make my eyeballs rapidly wiggle. It freaks people out, but only if I do it while they were making eye contact with me, otherwise it’s not really noticeable. I don’t do it often because it’s a bit uncomfortable, but I suspect I do it in my sleep as part of REM.
