Do you have any weird abilities you never trained or learned? I don’t mean like superpowers, I mean more mundane things like how some people can remember long strings of numbers or how some people have perfect pitch. I bet some of y’all can fart on command.
I can attest that I have a 100% success rate in determining if a person is evil within seconds of meeting them. I don’t know what that’s called but it’s like the thing Bruce Willis does in Unbreakable. I’ve successfully identified people I’ve thought were going to be murderers several times and I was correct. I’ve been able to identify racists, a guy who neglected his kids, and I was the only person in my entire family to get weird feelings about one of my uncles. He ended up getting convicted of fraud because he was stealing life insurance payouts at his insurance job. I just go off vibes and maybe I’m ignoring all the false positives I get but anecdotally I’ve always been correct about my weird feelings, and I often detect evil in people who are otherwise well-liked among others before they do the evil thing. I just feel it even when there’s no noteworthy evidence I dunno.
So can y’all do anything cool?
I taught myself to remember long strings of numbers. It’s a skill I have not been able translate to anything useful, but I think it relates to my other, more useful skills, navigation and visual memory.
My method is to imagine myself traveling a path, like walking from home to the grocery store. Then along the way I assign each digit to something I’d see along the path, like a stop sign would get the number 8. Then I visualize the 8 on the stop sign, and so on. When I need to remember the number I walk the path in my mind and I see the numbers.
