I was wondering if we have superpowers that 'normal people' don't have. This is not a serious and philosophical post, just a bit light hearted.
I reckon mine is that I see through people, not physically, but I always see the true nature of people. I can't count the number of times people have said to me 'I really like Sally/ Jane/ Mike/ Bob, they're a really nice person.' But I don't generally see the nice side of them, I always see their worst traits. They can't fool me.
Of course sometimes Sally/ Jane/ Mike/ Bob does turn out to be a really nice person, so I see their best traits.
People can't fool me with their surface appearance of being nice, I only see their genuine niceness. This sense is disconcerting but I've decided it's very helpful to me in life.
I've also just thought that my 'early warning system' is a superpower. I can spot a potential problem and find a solution before anyone else has even perceived a problem. Annoying but useful.
EDIT 1: I just remembered another. I can chill a room instantly. Many times someone has said something to upset or anger me, 'something' happens to me(a bit like a minor shockwave) and I notice the room go cold. Everyone else notices too and stares at me. I can't control this, it just happens when I'm angry or shocked. The temperature drops and everyone pauses for a moment. It's a bit of an 'Elsa from Frozen' type of power. I should learn to control it.
EDIT 2: Also remembered a weird thing. When I'm typing, which I always am, often I type a word e.g. elephant, someone on TV says the same word at exactly the same time. My writing is nothing to do with what is on TV. This happens so much, it's strange. Not really a superpower but noticeable.
Does anyone else think they have superpowers and what are they?
i have a real oddity in that I have the ability to stop the blood flowing to my arms when cut ---- i dont do it consciously, it scared the be-Jesus out of a surgeon during an operation on my hand. It was him who discovered it.
No, I am not willing to test it out
I can work and live in colder places than most people I know/work with and still can use my hands in freezing water for 30 minutes extra for example when others give up. This may be related to the blood/circulation thing above. This has been really advantageous as I was able to secure a rope under water when others failed.
cool someone else can do that ,i can control the blood flow around my body ,i started doing it when i used to faint nearly every day at school. last time i was in hospital having a gastroscopy,they had me hooked up to a heart monitor , i freaked them out made my heart rate down to 15 a minute and my blood pressure crash.
I have a recurring dream that i can fly ,i lean back and sort of levitate then zoom around just above the ground ,it is always real fun happy dream. superpower when i am asleep.

Snap - I've spent a lot of time flying around the countryside in my dreams - buzzing trees and rooftops. It's always a lovely warm day in my flying dreams.
I do that as a day dream.
