Richard A Petro 2 years ago
Statistically, you COULD be immortal; in fact, everyone that is alive today COULD be immortal, statistically. Until everyone is dead, immortality is a statistical probability but, unfortunately, only statistically. So you might very well be the last person alive on earth but, alas, nobody will know about you because all the rest of us will have died. But enjoy the Super Nova that the Sun will become!

Unless you're also more resistant to the injury itself, you'll probably be dead in a few years because you get a cut and it bleeds but you don't feel the pain, so you keep bleeding to death and not even know it.

I seem to attract people with mental health issues. Most of them just need someone to listen to them at the time, but I don't know what it is about me specifically. Like, a vibe? My pheromones?

Aw, I can't add anything to the list. This comment will have to do then: I actually have an anti-power. Whenever I like something at the supermarket and buy it a few times, it is removed from the range. Not kidding. Happened 5 times this year alone at different shops. And it's not just stuff that is out of stock or not produced anymore, I often find the stuff again at other shops that I don't go to regularly. Favorite-human always teases me now when we go grocery shopping together.
