I can't wink. Other people make it seem so easy, the best I can do is a scrunched up face with a sliver of one eye open enough to see

Often when I try to copy other people's facial expressions, I realise I have no control over my facial muscles if I try to move just the left or right side. It's absolutely fine if I move both sides at once but I literally can't even sense the muscle to move it when I try one side, but my friends can. I can wink though, but I used to do it very unnaturally.

Strange, can you blink at all?

[-] SwearingRobin@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Not sure if you're joking, but blinking is fine. It's blinking one at a time that's the problem

[-] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

Not joking at all, apologies if that came off as rude

[-] SwearingRobin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

It did not, it's just that sarcasm/irony is common on the internet, and tone is hard to convey just from written text. I was not offended at all, but thanks for being a nice person on the internet and apologizing anyways!
