What's your superpower?

The first time I noticed it on someone else, it was someone with a crush on me who had to spend all day with me, so not exactly fear, but nerves.
What did you do about it if you could notice? Has it ever worked in your favor?
In that case, I wasn’t interested and just felt immense pity at the situation, so I completely ignored it and talked to another coworker about our SOs at the group lunch table with him.
I’ve definitely noticed it on job interviews I’ve held and first dates/relationship milestones. In the former, I just ignore it, and in the latter, I do keep it in mind.
I have to shower after I have something like a job interview though, because it’s not a pleasant smell.

Mine is knowing there is probably at least one ant in everybody's bathroom and with enough determination you you'll find it.

I can make warts go away by touching them while counting. It's been in my family for generations.

It's definitely not 100%, and I'm rarely waking up at 6am, but I can usually just decide when I want to get up, and wake without an alarm. It's like I can tell the time in my sleep.

My sister in law and I can do this too!
Must run in the family!

My mouth doesn't have the receptors to detect capsacin, the chemical that makes spicy food burn/hot. I can eat the spiciest food imaginable and it will not burn my mouth at all.
That said, those receptors exist in other parts of my body. Very often while I'm sitting on the toilet I'll realize my dinner the previous night was particularly spicy.
Also, after more than 1/3 of a century of eating spicy food indiscriminately, my stomach lining has taken quite the beating.
Conversely, I can eat any spicy food. My mouth feels it, but that's all. Never any heartburn or painful time on the throne.

Oh I got that to a lesser degree. At night, I interpret sudden bangs (door slamming) as flashes of intense white light.
I realised that the lights were not real (phantom lightning, or bright outdoor lighrs winking on and off) once I started sleeping with a blindfold
My husband used to work night shifts. When he came home in the wee hours of the morning he would get undressed in the dark, so as to not wake me up. If he happened to make a loud noise like dropping his phone, banging his belt buckle, etc, I would wake up seeing a specific pattern "behind my eyes", so to speak, triggered by the noise. With time I realized the pattern changed depending on the nature of the noise!

I am cold resistant in general and I never had a brain freeze headache. Can load up my whole mouth with crushed ice or popsicles and let it all melt, never had one.

I am very hangover resistant. I'm into my 30s now, I've only ever had one hangover, and I attribute that to a bit of blood loss (mishap trying to open a bottle of champagne with a sabre, I have now mastered that art)
I don't drink particularly often, I'll often go a few weeks without a drink, but I do occasionally find myself in a position where I get absolutely hammered and I wake up the next day feeling absolutely fine.
Years ago I was camping out at a music festival and got totally incoherently drunk, stumbled halfway into my tent and crashed there for the night. The next morning my friends who hadn't gone nearly as hard woke up all feeling pretty rough, and we're created by me already awake and making breakfast feeling fresh as a daisy.
I do tend to mix in plenty of water and food with my nights of debauchery, so I can't say that it's genetic or if I just happen to be doing the right thing. It's not a purposeful anti-hangover measure, I just want food and water while I'm drinking.
I'm not totally immune to the negative effects of alcohol though. I absolutely get red wine headaches, and a good night of drinking may sometimes give me a Charley horse the next day.

Nah same. "hangover" is dehydration. They forgot water. They didn't drink water what feels like all night to not get damage from not drinking water at all

Have you read The perfume by Patrick Süskind? You sound like a real-life Grenouille. Without the murdering, hopefully
Screw you for making me remember XD

And I can see in strong winds. An eye injury in 1998 fucked with my tear ducts, so I don't get a runny left eye, ever.

I'm really good at smelling food and when it's about to go off. If my nose even picks up a hint of rot that's all I can smell. It's really bad right now because our fridge died so everything smells like carcass in the house right now (even though it's gone).

I'm really, really good at peeling oranges with my bare hands (or at least I used to be in grade school when all my friends would make me do it for them). The problem is, I hate the taste of oranges so I never use this power.

Have you tried doing it without counting?
Do you increment in 1's? Does it work if you count in 2's or 3's?
Science it!

Both ways?
