[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can sense a mood or vibe-nearly instantaneously-and act accordingly. I’m intuitive and highly sensitive.

Thus is the result of growing up in the midst of chaos with alcoholic parents - it’s a survival skill.

You mean you have a distinct emotional reaction to every moment and every interaction? Meaning every THING makes you "feel"? Nothing is ever just neutral? Because that is all on you. I know that when I interact with anyone I am not responsible for any mood or vibe they feel, they generate that on their own: I am not becoming one with them in spirit to create a vibe.[/quote]

Nope. It’s more nuanced. I can just sense if something is amiss or off kilter or strange.

As a child, I could tell from the moment I walked inside from school whether my parents were sober, for instance and could sense danger.

It’s almost animalistic.

I’ve met people or know people who give me the shivers - I can sense that they are not someone I want to befriend. So I’ll make snap judgements about people and I’ve never been wrong.

You are literally just describing that you form emotional, personal, judgments about who you meet and interact with. There is nothing magical or special about this and this behavior doesn't benefit you or other people. You are not somehow able an ultimate, godly judge on the goodness or badness of a person in an objective way.[/quote]

I don’t think you get what PP is saying.  I have this and it isn’t a trauma thing for me.  My EQ tests off the charts.  It’s become a running joke in my family and with my best friend because I’m never wrong about people.  Recently this came up when my best friend was talking about someone at her work I met once and how she did something truly heinous no one ever expected, after like 8 years there.  I had met her at a happy hour and told my friend years ago not to trust her, I wasn’t sure why just a vibe.  I had forgotten all about that and this person but my best friend remembered, in part because I generally am amiable and like most people so this take was pretty unusual.  My husband and mom say the same about me, the always regret when they don’t trust my spidey senses about someone.[/quote]
