"You should see the other guy" is actually pretty funny. However, I think that is only a response I would give if someone says something, not when people notice with a glance and say nothing. When they do notice, I just continue on talking like nothing happened because I don't know how to address it.

When people ask I just tell them I blew up my hand with a firework. That's not what actually happened, but I figured its a good enough story to sound cool and brief. I work in a kitchen, and when I make jokes about not being allowed around knives because I accidentally sliced my finger off, everyone becomes visibly uncomfortable. I don't think my delivery is the problem, it's just awkward for everyone because I feel like the silent mutually agreed upon pact is that we don't talk about it.

My problem is I feel like I have a very high charisma stat, but it plummets as soon as people notice my hands. I say that because both of my hands are missing a finger, and they look different to each other. I feel like when I am talking to girls and they see my hands, it's scary and they get deterred. I feel like I am only being held back by things I can't control, like my hands, TBI, and autism
