Does anyone have this uncontrollable cleaning conpulsion??? I do for shit shakes!! I can’t stop cleaning
No, not something I’ve ever had to resist, unfortunately…
Oh my god me too. It’s the worst!
i can’t keep my clothes clean! if there’s something to spill, sit in - i’m doing it.
Being an emotional empath. I swear I can feel someone’s energy before they fully step into the room. Sometimes it’s nice - when I’m around happy creative people, I get really inspired. But other times…yikes. When someone is angry or sad, I can feel it physically and it’s hard to shake off.
I know that sounds a little crazy, but there ya go.
I can make a prison shank
Not crazy at all! I’m the same way. It’s a lot sometimes… especially now that I’m sober.
Same here. If I go to a party with three dozen people, and one of them is having a bad time, suddenly I am too.
It’s basically the crappiest superpower you can get stuck with…
I’m a charmer. People will feel an instant connection with me sometimes and that becomes an obligation to me not to let that person down or show any flaws.
It sounds to me like you may have HSP (highly-sensitive-person syndrome). I am the exact same way and because of this I got diagnosed with HSP just a couple of month ago, but knowing this has changed how I view and handle situations for the better.
I can tell right off the bat if we are going to get good service in a restaurant as soon as I walk in. A few times I’ve told the wife we’re outa here after only just walking in. She trust me now after learning the hard way. I wish I could be oblivious when I go out to eat. That’s what 40 years of being a restaurant pro does to you. But being sober now I don’t have to be pissed off anymore wondering where the hell is my drink!!!
+1 on that, that’s why I stick to Lilly Pulitzer patterns
Be living I’m cured when I’m not, living a lie lol
I still do that, bottoms up. Sipping anything for a long time seems almost impossible.
Not sure it counts but to start with I’m multilingual. Three languages almost fluently, I can pretend that I don’t understand you but still get every single word you’re saying. Also I’m a little darker than the most Swedes, dark eyes, darker skin, dark hair and my Pa is even darker. So if there’s something I don’t understand or if I’m anywhere with my Pa for example in a store Café where they aren’t really interested in helping, I’m changing dialect and pull the racial card. It usually helps.
I also use it in the other direction against family if needed, I’m “only” a half breed no traditions or rules applies to me, I’m in between everything so I create my own.
I know it’s ugly, but I don’t create the rules I break them.
I also have the “talent” that people talks to me. Within a few minutes from meeting someone I can have their entire life story and their problems all over me. I don’t share my own secrets and stuff. But counting all people I know I’ve got enough information to destroy them and leave them in pieces for ever after if I need to.
Definitely. I hadn’t heard this particular term before this, but I just looked it up and for sure that’s me.
I’m charming. If I want some information or need a favour, I think about who can get me what I need, and I’ll make time to visit them, talk, bring them some croissants or another treat, and when I leave I’ll have what I want.
I don’t feel bad about it, because of the croissants.
