What's a not-rare (ie 10-30th percentile) ability you have that nevertheless feels like a superpower?
One of mine is the ability to do long drives without wearying.
This is basically a disability ability so I'm not sure if it counts. So I've got prosopagnosia. So all my life, I've mostly gotten by through remembering faces as the words I use to describe them when I see them.
You know, a picture's worth a thousand words? In my case, it's less as far as faces go, but that's basically the idea, where I construct a mental rolodex of cognitive cues to remember people through other traits, aside from specific visual markers like voice, hairstyle, eye colour, height, gait, footsteps, scent, etc.
It feels like a superpower until I realise that I'm basically coping with a disability, not actually excelling at anything in particular lol
@aazad Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Does that ability extend to domains other than faces?
