"(This is from actual medical/psych professionals.) I have very high observational vigilance and extremely fast information processing speed.

This can and has been extremely useful for a lot of my gal friends. If they were ever in doubt about a dude (couldn't decide if his behavior was problematic or not) they'd introduce me and watch if I reacted negatively to them.

It's useless because when you have this starting a young age it can REALLY screw you up. You start getting flooded with noticing other people's negative reactions around you when you're too young to understand that they're not because of you. F*cks up your self esteem and is a recipe for chronic depression that translates into chronic social anxiety. I'm ok now, all handled and taken care of as an adult."

I used to do this often when I got up at the same time every day. And for important things I could do it at random times. Before going to sleep, I would repeat to myself several times, "I am going to wake up at 6 AM" or whatever time. Weirdly it worked. I usually woke up within a minute or two of said time. That was before cell phones and I didn't always have an alarm when needed. I'm not sure if it is related at all but I never use a snooze button. I've trained my body to get up when the alarm goes off even if I'm so tired that the first couple of minutes I don't remember why I wanted to get up at that time.

"My useless super power is being double jointed in my ankles to the point I can turn both my feet around facing backwards. I was given the nickname crazy legs by a few of my classmates in high school. Its useless cuz not only does it freak people out, sometimes scaring off the more faint of heart but i stopped doing it entirely because the older I get it becomes a bit mire painful when I do it though I'm still definitely able to do pull it off. Most people my age aren't impressed and honestly in hindsight teenagers are impresses by dumb crap like what I'm able to do. Adult life isn't about impressing anyone but yourself or potential employers. More importantly life isn't a popularity contest."

I cannot carry a tune in a bucket. But, I am super sensitive to certain musical sounds. Either high voices or very low bass, depending on the pitch. I have an actual physical reaction ranging from just a mild tingling on my scalp to full body goose bumps and electric shock-like feelings. Sometimes with heat. Usually, along my entire right side. The intensity of the response depends on the music. It was very disconcerting as a child. It made me feel so ashamed, I never told anyone about it. I remember many times when I tried to hide under my seat as it happened. I made up excuses for trying to crawl under my chair for no reason. I was well into adulthood before I talked about it. Bodies are strange.

Not their emotional states (ASD) but what they "are". Like home language, preferred aesthetics/music taste, etc. Even without overt demographic markers like skintone differences.

Sometimes I like to think the reality I experience is just a product of my imagination, and true reality is the things I dream up. Also, it can be unnerving realizing what you see is not what others see, and is not reality, when you think it is.

I can tell if you brain trauma or mental illness just by looking at someone's face ir stand next to them, even with no apparent signs. They feel like a very strong, almost violent river going down a hole; I'll have an image of it as well. Their eyes look different, as though they are coming out of their head a little and the eye has missing. Deep depression feels/looks like their eyes are drowning in their body. Mostly useless because I do not work in social services or the mentally ill. I used to read out to people who were like this to make rhem feel better or help in some way. It's caused too many problems. Other than depression. I use it to stay away from them

I can sometimes predict stuff like today as an example I told my mom the two brothers would be at the gym at the same time as us. My mom said they weren't there. I was right. I still don't know how I knew

I am 40 years old. I still can hear the devices aiming at scaring off weasles and martins and those ... Actually, I am pretty happy that my ears are doing so well for my age - so far, I still have a reason not to give in and accept noise, like mp3, as substitute for music. FLAC is way better, also it's more efficient than Wavesound files, ... so, that's my way to go. Aside the old ones I converted before I had a programm that could convert into FLAC (I threw all my CDs on a HDD to have them all on one remote's call - pretty handy with >30k songs, ...). Anyway, that's about all. I tried to convince myself I was unable to vomit, but I just took a ten year break from actually doing it, then drank spoiled ice tea - just 3 weeks over the date, what would go wrong? Well, that did go wrong... + to the ears again - I never listened to max volume on headphones, restricted myself about that pretty rigid, although I do enjoy loud music ... never tinkered around, never had any injuries, no infections in an age that I would remember today, ... luck and care? Seems, that and genetics.

I de-tract people. If I am at an event, I can sit at a table and people will fill all the other tables and not sit with me, or when we go to restaurant, the are we are sat in will empty out. Unfortunately, it also works on the waitstaff and we have a hard time getting served.

Not really a superpower, but my dreams have told the future. One time, I dreamed that me, my mom, and my brother were getting out of the car to go to school, and my mom informed my brother that he would have to stay home for a week. The next morning, I woke up, and his whole class had covid. He had to stay home for a week. It’s happened on a smaller scale a few other occasions but I think it’s cool. I can also hear voices when Im super relaxed, as if someone is next to me saying them. That might just be a mental illness thing though lol. But I’ve been told it means I’m intact with my unconscious mind
