whats the deal? Intuition or a real ability to tune into the "unknown" if you want to call it the unknown.

say what???

It's a gift

Did you know I was going to start this thread?

Could you elaborate?

I don't think we really know.

I tend to think it's mostly intuition. I often feel like I know a ton about people whom I've just met, but if I stop and think about it, there are cues and I'm somebody who pays close attention. People sometimes think I'm psychic, though.

But I've had a couple of experiences that really can't be explained by intuition and attention. So, it's one of those things that I wonder about (and this from madam do-you-have-peer-reviewed-data-on-that-?).

Random thought: one of the things that annoys me about humanity in general is an inability to just be in that place of "I DON'T KNOW". Like, if we don't know something, then we tend to make up an answer and believe it, often in large groups, because we can't stand not knowing.

Totally..

I think that sometimes you can meet somebody for the first time and there is something familiar about them that is difficult to explain. That could be a mental tuning into their wavelength almost immediately. I'm not sure if it is psychic or just sensitivity.

what a B1tch!!!

LleeLlee said:

Yeah, sometimes I get that without even talking to people. It's interesting.

And sometimes it's more specific. Like, for example. I was talking to an ex about some of his friends, whom I had met once or twice in a bar setting, and this one girl. . . I just had this sense that she was in horrible pain. Emotional, physical, I didn't know. . .she looked fine, seemed pleasant enough, but it was just this feeling. Turns out she had some really painful disease and accompanying depression. How did I know that? Body language? Something in her voice? I have no idea.

Another friend of a friend, I just had this sense that damn near everything that came out of his mouth was an exaggeration or an outright lie. Not because much of it was particularly remarkable. . .it just didn't ring true. Asked my friend about it later, turns out he's a "recovered" pathological liar. I doubt the recovered part.

These things happen over and over, and always make e wonder what's going on. If I had to guess, I'd say sensitivity/attention. But. . . I'm pretty content to just say that I don't know.
