How strong is your intuition/discernment? And what was the last thing that you "saw"

I don't identify as a psychic; however, I have had countless experiences of "knowing" things about people I've just met or simply seen out in the world. I attribute this gift/curse to high intelligence and past trauma. I developed this skill as a child. My life depended on it. Now that I'm older and unquestionably safe, I no longer need or want this skill.

I can see envy very easily. Whether it's against me or between others. For those who can't see it, I am reporting from the field, and it is a rampant emotion.

You actually lack self perception and are probably not well educated. Don't drone on about this garbage to people around you.

I can tell by the sound of someone's voice their level of intelligence, if they are hungry and if they are trustworthy. I purposely tune people out because I feel like I'm invading their privacy, but I always look out for psychos and liars.

NP. It isn't a matter of smart but rather a true 6th sense that you listen and heed. I have always had this and when I follow it then life is fine. If, however, I think that I want to do it my way, it can be a disaster.

Everybody has this to some degree. Find a quiet place, clear your head, meditate and see what happens.

Sixth sense? No. People who grew up in dysfunctional families often become adept at reading other's emotions and body language as it was necessary for survival. They are hyper focused on the subtle nuances people show in their expressions, body placement etc. It's no different than people who are trained professionally to read body language. Most people do not focus on others at all when they are talking and miss obvious signals.

Any of you who think you know another person's true intentions from a short interaction or the sound of the voice are delusional. -As in you are truly nuts. People are also notoriously bad at discerning when others lie. There are many studies about this. The studies showed the more confident the individual was in their ability to discern the truth, the less adept they are at it.

I knew my brothers marriage would end. And the one following that.

On the other side, I’ve set up two healthy marriages.

I’m just good at predicting people and the future.

Sigh. Maybe you're just high. A lot of you don't understand math and that causes these ridiculous posts. Probability and statistics should be a required class every single year of high school. So little critical thinking here.

Your effort would be a tell. I might not be able to put my finger on it, but my alarm would ring. If I'm feeling particularly curious, I might stick around ling enough to figure you out.

I'd bet you can't "figure" her out but you will tell yourself you can and fill your lack of data with your own personal biases. You will be particularly bad at it because you are so confident that you can "figure people out". You should be embarrassed by your ignorance.

I can admit to being off by degrees, but I know when something is..off..with a person. For example, I don't have to see you to know you are an ass.

I had zero evidence, none at all, and it was totally out of character for him. But I just knew. And it took two days of him denying it before he ultimately came clean. I was able to confirm the information so no, he didn't admit to something he didn't do.

Most recently a friend's child had lost their wallet and it had been missing for a week or two. I was at their house and he was looking for it (again) and was going back over places he'd already looked. I told him to check his backpack, to dig really deep down to the bottom. And he found his wallet at the very bottom of his backpack. I just knew it would be there. Can't explain how. Sometimes it freaks people out when I get that feeling, and most feelings I just don't share with people for that reason.

Because that was most likely where it was going to be. It isn't magic.

Bingo!

I used to think I had some special kind of gift/sixth sense. Even my dysfunctional family would talk about this gift as if it were inherited. Then sometime in my 20s I figured out it was all due to being hyperfocused on everyone's ever-changing moods in the house I grew up in that was never a safe place for me. Prescribing it to a psychic sense was just part of the magical thinking that I adapted to survive my circumstances to the best of my ability at the time.

I'm curious, OP. Does dysfunction prevail in your family of origin?

Nope. I am proud of myself for trusting my judgement. I dodge a lot of bullets this way. I have no tolerance for bs, so Ibail at the first sign of it. Concealing ones emotions is a red flag i may not know what that flag signals, but I do know I want no part of it.

No, you're nuts if you're the poster who can read things about someone by the sound of the voice. Of course the way a person talks might give away some basic info about education but anything more and you are deluding yourself.

It doesn't matter where it originates from, just that it exists and is a super power. If it is the result of dysfunction and trauma, well, then, that is a silver lining.

There are lots of useful books about body language. There is a lot to it, a lot more than most people realize. It is very, very hard to train yourself to focus on people's body language. Most of us only notice a tiny percentage of what people are conveying to us.

It's pretty clear who is ignorant here. Go read a book.
