What is something nobody knows about you?

Will you tell us what that is so we can know it? :P
 
I have what is known as slipping rib syndrome, also known as Tietze’s Syndrome, occurs when one of the ribs intermittently slips out of place, causing a stretching of the ligaments that support the front and back of the rib. The tenth rib is usually the culprit because, unlike ribs one through seven, which attach to the sternum, the eighth, ninth and tenth ribs are attached anteriorly to each other by loose, fibrous tissue. Although this arrangement provides increased mobility of the lower rib cage, it also results in a greater susceptibility to trauma in this area.

The only time the rib slips out is if I turn a certain way (which I avoid doing). I have no pain and the rib slips right back without me having to do anything. It's rare when it happens and there is no need for medical intervention at this time.
 
I have adopted my avatar as a surrogate big brother. He knows and is cool with it.

Most people I've been around my life know little to nothing about me due to my social inwardness and my lack of confidence to initiate conversations. So, there's basically a lot my acquaintances don't know about me.
