Poll: Can you view auras?

[Limos]

I know I'm crazy, they have a name for my problem, great...


EDIT: I also meant to ask, why do you think I have social problems? I actually have quiet a few friends, and many fo them are very close to me. so... I don't think your all right on that.

Oh my, I was actually responding the the OP, I hadn't read the rest of the thread. I believe you said you don't claim to see actual light, just have a better than normal perception of peoples emotions. That could just mean you are very good at reading nonverbal cues.

And I mostly brought it up because the OP claims to see big glowy magic things around strangers which allows him some special insight into their minds. Which to tell the truth, is some grade-A batshit crazy right there.

all i can actually see is is a haze around a person. For example, if I am in a dark room or area I can see a relatively clear silhouette of the person. Nothing blazing or truly outstanding. Its just a slight difference in the area surrounding. The colors im not really very good at identifying. I can see the the haze, but not as a really clear personal marker. as for the sensing people, its just when someone is near or someone is even in the area, I can usually find them very quickly. I have a sense of where they are and I keep following that until I locate them. That one I cant explain very well.

Unfortunately there isn't a convenient way to prove that anyone who claims to see "auras" is lying, but I don't believe that kind of bullshit for a second. You people watch too much TV.

I can't say for sure that you fit all the symptoms, but usually people who believe in such nonsense as Auras, Chi, Spirits, Demonic possession or the like are suffering from this disorder. Hopefully a good psychiatrist will be able to help you.

Don't look now, but you might just have classified all religious people as insane. Which is fine by me, really.

Hahahaha. No. I can't. You can't either.

Oh well that's it then, sorted. You've well and truly resolved the thread.
As someone who has never experienced it, I'm sure you know all about it.

For years people have thought I was making things up as I would tell them that I can see things around people. These things I had later defined as "AURAS" or "QI". Apparently This is not overly common. I have learned to use this in many advantageous situations, for example I have a strangely accurate ability to find people in an area even if I cant see them. I simply feel if a person is there or not. If this feeling gets strong I can see a very slight color displacement around their person (or if it is dark, where their person should be). Can anyone else elaborate their feelings on this? Maybe someone else has this unique ability, do you care to share? What do you think?

Well I've never had anything like this happen to me but people should try to be a little bit more open minded instead of just immediately dismissing anything they don't consider normal.

If you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out.

I don't believe in auras or the ability to detect auras.

I don't believe in a lot of the New Age and Occult fads we have now but it doesn't make it uninteresting. For a while I became interested in Runes and Tarot because I found divination exciting and mysterious even if I also found it entirely unbelievable.

You're free to believe what you want though I won't try and dissuade someone from wanting to believe it.

I might say I can feel auras, yeah. I very rarely see a colour though. More like a shine. It's a way of marking people out that I focus my attention on. I can feel a variation of this on people I am just communicating with as well, exempli gratia over the internet. The thing is, I tend to focus like this on people I find different in any kind of way. It just comes naturally.

This shine often indicates that they are gifted, that I like them, or that they are, like I said, just different. The ones that exude a colour does so very vaguely, and I tend to see past that, since it invites categorisation.

To the OP, yes I suppose so, but I always put it down to my mental problems.
