I posted in another thread how I have sensitivity/sensory issues where they are extremely heightened. I was referring specifically to my sense of touch in that post, (although all my senses are a little squirrely) in that I can feel even the littlest thing on my skin, or on the bottom of my foot, or a wrinkle in my clothes or sheets etc...I jokingly said that I guess it's my superpower....dumb superpower, as it's more annoying than helpful, but I digress.
I think I have a few other "superpowers" that I could list as well but I thought, I would ask everyone here first....

Whether it's useless or not does not matter. Whether it helps or hinders does not matter. Do you have a unique ability? Do you consistently do things more than the average person? Do you have a personality trait that is so strong that you can't control it?
Have fun with this...

What's your superpower?

I have a super smeller. I can always smell smoke from distant wildfires, or pollen and things like that, before others can. My spouse tells me I'm crazy but I tell him I know what I'm talking about--superpowers don't lie! :lol:

I have good hearing, it can be bad especially when I can hear stuff other people can't until they turn down the TV or music. I end up saying turn the TV down now listen. But the good thing about it was I could tell what the kid's were muttering when they were in trouble. ;) I'm definitely not a fan of noise.

I'm very in tune with animals for one. I'm autistic so I struggle connecting with people, but animals are a different story. I can recognize little changes in behavior of my animals.

Other little "superpowers" I guess I have are being that I'm autistic, I have noise sensitivities, so I hear a lot of things that most people don't.

I also have a form of synesthesia called spatial sequence synesthesia where I view sequential things in specific locations. I've noticed it since I was a kid and the numbers have always been in the same location in my head.

My grandmother had perfect pitch, and while she didn’t pass that super power on to me, I can hear the slightest off-key note whether it’s sung or played on an instrument, whether a live performance or a recording, classical or rock. One of the reasons I always enjoyed listening to Steve Perry of Journey is that he almost never missed a note.
