The life of a clumsy person is full of struggles. Every single day includes being told off, laughed at and most of all, a lot of unnecessary pain. 

It’s like the clumsy people in the world are a whole new species. And I am a devoted member of this species. Not a day in my life is complete without losing something (sometimes, even myself), forgetting, literally, anything and awarding myself with a bruise or two. 

Believe it or not, there is actually a scientific reason behind why people like me are such klutzes! A 2007 University Of Delaware study shows that ‘slower processing speed and reaction time, as well as lower visual and verbal memory performance may predispose certain individuals to errors in coordination which can lead to unintentional injuries, and random forgetfulness’. 

Hey, at least now we have a valid excuse!

So, here are 17 things that only clumsy human beings will be able to relate to:  

1. Dropping your phone on your face is a daily routine.

2. Tripping on sidewalks and pretending like nothing happened is an everyday thing.
