Name 1 thing that you think makes you secretly better/cooler than everyone else (lighthearted)

[Chicky6]

Just for fun!
One thing that I feel just makes me superior than most is that I am a twin mum. Can’t really explain it except that I feel like superwoman for growing 2 babies myself at once

one thing that will make me think you are cooler than most of if you’re left handed, no idea why, I just know I always wanted to be left handed when I was a kid😂

Actually, isn't that precisely what being psychic Actually is? Nothing magical or mystical about it, just a branch of science we haven't fully named or taken seriously?

I am very interested in this branch of science myself recently. We all used to be so much more in tune with each other and our environments, when communities were tighter, when life was more precarious, and we used to know stuff much more instinctively. Like when to plant seeds, when to protect crops from ravens etc.

And how to read people. I have read some fascinating stuff about how emotions and thoughts are results of chemistry in the brain, but this actually has mass, so can interact with each other or maybe even in a group consciousness field, and sone people are better at tapping into this than others. Just as some people can taste music or see electricity, or know exactly where they are in time and space.

It used to be something we did subconsciously, but as modern life has evolved these skills have been repressed - but never completely lost, because they were part of our brain structures for millenia.

So for instance- you may have a neighbour that always leaves the house at 7am. You may not even register it, but every day at 7am there's a jingle of keys, the sound of footsteps. Then one day, it gets to 7.12am and your brain just registers there's something wrong. Doesn't really know why, just knows there's something wrong and bingo!!! You're the obe who checks on your neighbour and finds they've had a fall!!!

Not psychic, but a forgotten, repressed or subconscious human skill.

I really try to tune into the little things my sixth sense is telling me.

I can deadlift 100kg
I think that’s pretty cool

Me too. I think it's nonsense really. I have always looked for patterns in things such as sequences of numbers. That makes the tests easy. It's not because I'm smart.

I did exactly the same, from 20 a day (often more!) to zero overnight!

I can always make a decent meal or a dressing up outfit out of whatever’s in the house.

I never knew this had a name.

I have partial heterochromia, my eyes are hazel and have brown around the pupils and then green around that, and a dark rim around the iris.

My DS inherited my hazel eyes but doesn't have the heterochromia. His father has blue eyes, but hazel is rarer and I'm glad my genes won!

Me too! I never knew this was a 'thing'.

I have lovely greeny hazel eyes that have always been a bit hard to describe

People who can speak more than one language fluently amaze me

I remember getting strange looks the first time I said out loud "oh it's a red name like David or Gerry".

I’m really really good at catching. So am champion at frisbee and pool games on holiday. Chuck something at me and I’ll catch it no matter what 🤣

I'm good at building flat-packed furniture. AND I love doing it too.

I'm a leftie twin mom to leftie children. I speak 4 languages fluently and can get by in 3 others. I'm a fast learner and find languages very easy to learn. Maybe because I'm from a bilingual background?
I'm a GLP1 hyper responder having lost 30kg in 3 months. I'm still on 2.5mg dose, my GP recommends not increasing my dose. My only side effect is lethargy.
I have an amazing immune system, I never got COVID. A mild cold last 3-4 days. I never had chicken pox or measles despite my brother having them (we weren't vaccinated as children).
I have an exceptional long term memory and can remember things from when I was 3.

i can draw quickly and am very good at Pictionary.

Mine are a bit shallow and arbitrary but:

I have loads of thick eyelashes, did nothing to earn them, just lucky.

I can remember everyone's birthday, no matter if I've just met them once and decades ago - if they told me when it is (ditto their kids birthdays) I will remember. I tend to keep this quiet as it has freaked some people out as it seems a bit stalkery! Unfortunately I forget lots of other stuff which it would be more useful to know.

I don't have pierced ears (though my belly button is done). My dad was very strict and said I had to be 18 but by then it was more rebellious and cool to be different and not have them done.

I don't have this ability any more but when I was younger I could hear electricity. If I was outside the front of someone's house and their TV was on I could "hear" it even if the volume was on mute. Very high pitched whine (like a dog whistle maybe?)

Once visited four countries in a single day. That's not really cool about me but was cool to do!

I can sense the characters of people and their intentions very quickly. I’m a great diplomat. I have a very high IQ

I wrote a book in my second language and it won a national prize

I remember without trying what patterns paragraphs make on a page so I can find a quote/ my place in a book by recognising the page layout. Kindle kind of messes it up as it shifts things around when you move backwards and forwards - at least my very old early model does that.

I do this too, especially the days of the week and months. December is black and January is light green for example.

Also a couple more:

I'm really good at undoing knots. I have long thin fingers and slightly long but weak bendy nails, I'm sure it's that combo.

I've also got really low blood pressure and I'm oddly proud of it. Except when I was giving birth and the alarm/monitor thing kept going off "because it thinks you are half dead" as the midwife cheerfully announced.

@sashh last night I dreamed of my Dad, my dream was in my native language. Sometimes my dreams are multi-lingual but they're mainly feelings.
I returned from my home country on Sunday night, returned to work on Monday morning speaking my native language to my colleagues, a niche language that's not widely spoken outside of my country

I can read or write upside down, backwards or both at the same time in English at the same speed as most people can write forwards in English.
I can do it in two other languages as well, plus one of my own I 'invented' as a child (by stealing characters from Tolkiens languages and using them as replacements for English letters)

I don't have to be copying text if it's English or 'my' language, I can write straight from the words I think in my head at normal writing speed.
The other languages I'm a bit slower at.

I can do the same up and down the page forwards or backwards but not quite as fast, or change direction mid sentence, write around the page working from the centre out or outside in.

That i look late 30s when im mid 40s.

I'm the exact opposite - does mine count as a sort of superpower too?!

I can figure out the plot/villain of a movie, show or book after quite a short time. I always blame the material as being too obvious but my DH is always surprised when I get it right. He enjoys shows with extremely obvious story lines that I can't bare to watch though, so it may not be a talent at all.

I can imagine endless possibilities for most things which can make decision making difficult. I'm creative but without any talent.

Awwww, that’s absolutely lovely!
