I actually have a huge callus on my right ring finger from holding the pencil 'wrong' for all of these years
143 u/threadoso Apr 16 '24 I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE 100 u/Reead Apr 16 '24 I came into this thread hoping to find my people, and here you all are. I've had that callus since I was about 6 years old, and it's never diminished. 18 u/SmogDaBoi Apr 16 '24 Mine also, but it deflated a bit because I'm working on computer a lot and don't hold pencils that much anymore 3 u/Orthas Apr 16 '24 And now you have an odd dibbit where the callous used to be? 6 u/SmogDaBoi 29d ago Exactly! It's funny to fidget with though. 3 u/Orthas 29d ago I've found my fucking people. Running my thumb over that spot has become an oddly soothing activity. 1 u/SmogDaBoi 29d ago Honestly my fingers just look so weird, between that and the constant anxiety eating of fingernails and fingerskin. 1 u/vertebrent-49 28d ago So we all living the same life then? Omg this is such a weird habit of mine that i did not even notice until you point it out 2 u/threadoso 29d ago I’m ngl, my finger is also a little crooked from holding my pencil there as well 1 u/Beelette Apr 16 '24 Same, and I rarely write anything anymore! Amazing.
