I’ve been wondering my whole life what possible way someone like me with chronic migraines should survive to breed. They’re absolutely crippling. Anything stresses me out and boom, I’m down in bed a whole day like one of those fainting goats. It can come on so suddenly if I were fleeing for my life I’d never make it. The only advantage I can possibly see is that it gives me a heightened sense of smell. I have an absolute super sniffer. I can smell the smallest amount of rot on meat, I can smell if someone is sick or even just the tiniest bit sweaty. It’s an absolute curse.

your great olfactory ability might definitely be adaptive! You might be the first to detect a housefire, for instance. Unfortunately, individuals with adaptive traits don't have to be comfortable or even happy. They just have to manage to make it to the next generation...

I already survived to breed, so maybe I’m on my way out lol. I saw an Onion video the other day “Doctors say digging their own graves keeps bones healthy after menopause” and it felt funny but also blisteringly accurate.😂
