What’s Your Tricky?

Tricky:

A personal characteristic or trait that makes it more difficult to move through the world than it is for average people, or for whom the world is designed.

OR

Your Tricky is not a flaw, or a failure, and everyone has a Tricky.

You’re not alone.

We believe that when you find your Tricky, you find your empathy, but many people think they have no Tricky.

It is for the growth of these people that we share our Trickys.

Tricky Stories,

shared by You

I was undiagnosed with ADHD until I was 46. Now I have that mostly under control, but my tricky now is chronic depression built upon a lifetime of others’ and self- misunderstandings.

I was born with type one diabetes.

-B.H.

I had a stroke when I was still in my mommy’s belly. It gave me a lot of hard things to do.

-C.L.

I went legally blind when I was 19. Never good at sports, always made fun of for my super-huge glasses, no fun movie theatre. Meh, I’m cool with it; I just spend my time on my crafts and have a ton of hobbies. I eventually found good friends, too.

Broke my neck diving into a swimming pool; instantly becoming your parents’ warning story.
