Anyone else have any strange skills?

I don't "feel" others' pain well unless I concentrate. This is pretty much the same with close relatives and strangers.

There are some rare, more positive sides of this. Growing up, our neighbor had a large dog, which might have actually been part rottweiler and part pit bull. All I'm sure of was that it was big. I was walking my dogs, which are both part doberman and part shih tzu, and our neighbor's dog attacked one of my dogs. My dog was bleeding afterward. I was five-foot-four, slightly overweight, with skinny little arms and legs. I didn't feel any nervousness or anger whatsoever, as I started kicking the neighbor's dog. It backed away and I maintained eye contact with it, knowing that looking into a dog's eyes is a challenge. That complete lack of anxiety or anger felt very powerful, and it felt good to use that power to protect something. At my grandmother's funeral, I did look around at others to determine how sad to appear. I loved my grandmother. I just have yet to have felt sad when anyone has died.

Fine then. I'm going to begin calling myself an X-Man, or maybe a member of a new subspecies, and then begin donating to sperm banks to procreate my people all the quicker. You homo sapiens sapiens shall be out-competed...or something.

Lack of ability to empathize is common in Narcissist and psychopaths.

Confusion in other's non-verbal communication is a symptom of autism.

But those are hardly what people would normally call a "strange skill."

I don't like to brag, but I can fly, pick up trains and catch bullets in the air... all with my mystical butt cheeks.

They call me the "Awesome Ass". I'm kind of a big deal...

Only if you can leap tall piles of BS in a single bound.

It involves a complex paradigm between Friedrich Nietzche's thoughts on chaos as it applies to dancing combined with elements of Plato's Cave Allegory mixed in with feelings of clairvoyance and extra sensory perception that may be borne from Mysticism, Religion, or good old Biological Intuition. Depending on your beliefs of course....


Peace
