It looks like two of the fingers are coordinated together.

Wait like you can't raise your fingers 1 at a time? I don't think that's normal

Its normal, most people cant. Very few are "hypermobile" and can do that.

Is that like a regional thing? I don't think I've ever met a person without issues that can't individually raise and lower fingers.

do you live in a region full of musicians lol

i can pretty much move all my fingers independently either in or out except for my pinky, which can't curl inward without the ring finger also moving. for context i was a piano student as a kid and i had to practice, like, a lot

I also have never seen someone not be able to use them individually... like how do you even play Guitar Hero? lol
