do i have some weird power or am i just insane? o.O

[Singularly Datarific]

I think there needs to be a movie based on this...

 

[The Austin]

It's called instinct. Everyone has that kind of moment every once in a while.

Well once me and my brother were going super fast on rollerblades down a steep concrete hill with strips of grass on both sides of it. We both fell and i felt like i went in slow motion and i pushed my brother into the grass then faceplanted the concrete >_<.

I sometimes hear the end of conversations before people finish them. But maybe i just have a large vocabulary and a good grasp of how the conversation will end. Especially if it's with a hooded chav...

You were probably noticing subtle things subconsciously so no, no superpower

i stopped here " and i got this really weird feeling, like"

its called puberty

Or this....

 

[zohmbee]

Hmm...I don't know. I've felt something like this before, the night before my dad died. I woke up and got this really cold feeling all over at the time when his accident happened, just 24 hours before.

You may have a had a moment, but it's not a power or coiencidence. It's just...a feeling.

 

[Kriptonite]

I think it's just coincidence because weird things happen to everybody. Let me know if it happens constantly everyday, then you might be on to something.

 

[CompanionCube]

Predict when someone dies and then we'll talk.

 

[Maze1125]

Chances are it a combination of three factors.

1. You being somewhat perceptive of slightly odd things.
2. Coincidence.
3. "Backdated" memories. You were probably only slightly thinking about the lights and the girl beforehand, but after something happened that slight interest imprinted on your memory as a big deal. Other times when you have a slight interest in something but nothing happens, your brain forgets you were ever interested at all.

Intuition's a pretty strange thing, but it's no superpower.

 

[SGDeath2]

dont think its a power, but some people have been known to just get a powerful gut feeling, why they tell you to trust your instincts

 

[teutonicman]

Your spidey senses tingled. Honestly though I think you're just paranoid like a wild animal that looks around a lot to make sure its not going to get bum fucked by a predator.

 

[heyheysg]

Might be micro expressions, subtle clues that let humans tell the difference between what's wrong. Just happened that you got it

 

[Baggie]

I have something similar, when I'm in conversation sometimes (Extremely rarely) I'll have this massive thought just appear in my head, not related, and then someone will say the same thing a couple of seconds later. It's really WEIRD. I'd like to say coinciedence but it's happened too many times for me to dismiss.

 

[Malkavian]

I have deja-vus very often. Sometimes, when I have them, I even know what's coming next(next line in conversation, someone doing something, etc.), and I know I have dreamt of it(I have discussed the dream with people who can confirm it, or I have written it down, etc.). It's just weird coincidence, really.

 

[JWAN]

You're insane.

thank you billy mays

I told one of my friends that he was going to get himself killed if he kept doing stupid stuff. Sure enough he was riding with a drunk driver, the SUV flipped and burned.

 

[raxer92]

ok hear me out. a few years ago i was sitting in class, the teacher was talking about something or other, and i got this really weird feeling, like as if i knew something bad was gonna happen, and i looked back at this girl, i suddenly felt really scared, i looked back at the front of the class trying not to look stupid, seconds later i heard a thud and as i looked back at her she was having a fit.

later on that day, after school, i was waiting for my friends and i got the same feeling, it was as if i had to look over at the traffic lights, like my body was just telling me that i had to look over at the traffic lights, anyway, as soon as i looked over there i saw a boy running across the street whilst the lights were green and well the boy was hit... to my left was a woman shouting the boys name and crying, she rushed over, i turned pale and could not believe what had just happened...

has anything like this ever happened to any of you? or am i the only one?? (i mean like the 'sensing' danger thing)

Dont know...instinct o.o?

That made me laugh far more than I expected. Sorry though, you missed the mark this time. I know, one in a million right? Puberty should always be the answer to, "I got this really weird feeling."

That is far more common than you would think. It's called a premonition, many people have them without realizing what it is. I even get them. It is your subconscious mind picking up on things that are about to occur based on things you saw while you weren't paying attention. If you focus more you can prevent these things from happening. So you could be a superhero if you wanted. Your power is super perception.

 

[asiepshtain]

I've heard about this sort of stuff.

this is just stuff I've read, I don't really beleave any of it, just answering the OP.

It is a sort of deja vou, the idea is that your brain can create under moments of extream stress tiny wormholes (crazy but hear me out) these wormholes are extreamly small, so small that the only thing that can travel through them are snips of thoughts and emotions (in the form of electrical pulses).

these go back in time and enter your brain while your asleep, when you wake up you have no memory of these thoughts. But when you reach the point in time where the original thought came from you get a premonition of what is to come.

Like I said I'm highly skepical myself (it would be wicked cool if it were true).

that sounds badass, it'd be really cool if that was true i'm a fellow skeptic too but i refuse to put this all down to 'coincidence' and btw if someone says it was a coincidence without explaining WHY it is then i will go (more) insane.

seriously people stop saying it's a coincidence just because you can't explain it >.<

And now for a little science and sanity. and I mean real science, not crazy wormhole science.

Your memory is a lot more complex then it appears, it is not like a hard storage of facts, in fact every time you remmber something it is in a sense erased and re-written. In times of extreame stress, sickness ,drug use or just due to random errors the markers that the brain uses to "Time-stamp" a memory goes worng. Deja-vu is in fact your memory being written before being analyzed by the visual cortex, then when it is analyzed you remmber it as well.

The question you should be asking yourself isn't do I have a super power. The question is, do you want to help and care for people, if so, go learn something apropriate.

EDIT: You could also test yourself for ESP. You can have a friend shuffle a deck then draw a card, you guess what card it is (number and series), he then shuffles again and draws again. If you guess more then is satisticly probable consistantly, congratulations, you just won a million dollars:
