Poll: How healthy/sickly were you as a child, on a chronic basis (say until age 13) Stuff that gets called a “weak constitution” like coughs/colds/asthma/poor digestion etc. Not so much acute stuff like chicken pox or broken bones.

I was just chronically mild-to-medium sickly, no particular condition. So spent a lot of time in my own head enduring unpleasant but not intolerable physical conditions, Changed when I took up swimming seriously as a teenager.

I've long believed this about myself too!! High energy level awareness and the realization that even simple things can be difficult set me off on a good path. What did you gain?
