    In a room full of power supplies i was the only one able to find which one was still powering something, because apparently out of the ~20 people that tried before me, i was the only one that could hear the transformer whine.

    Also a general annoyance since i need to charge my phone in another room if i want to sleep without simulating tinnitus.

    I can hear CRT screens. They emit a high pitch noise that nobody else in my family can hear, I assume most people actually can hear it but never noticed it. My family used to think I was crazy or had tinnitus (jury’s still out on both) until they tested me by making me close my eyes and tell them if the TV was on while turning it off and on at random, with sound off. It was a weird test from my perspective, since I could hear it fine anyway. So far I haven’t noticed a decay due to age, but if it had little use when CRTs were widespread, it’s now completely useless.

    I can’t stay angry; I have multi-sensory aphantaisa, this comes with not being able to re-experience emotions.

    I remember that something made me angry, but I can’t relive the emotion. It lets me dispassionately examine the past to see what made me angry and thus work through the trigger and try to reduce it in the future.

    There is the downside to this, it is on all emotion, so I also can’t re-experience happy emotions either.

    My boyfriend can smell when someone drank alcohol hours (or even days!) later. He seems to smell it in a person’s sweat, so we suspect he senses some kind of metabolite.

    As to me? In-person I seem to emit a comforting, trustworthy aura. Children and stray animals approach me like they just know that I’m a safe space for them. As a result, I’ve acquired quite a list of no-kill shelters in my phone. I also ended up working in children’s therapy.

    Adults who share my wavelength can also recognize it in me, and I can recognize it in them - we’re drawn to each other in the same “inherently trustworthy” way. I suspect it’s an aspect of neuro-divergence.

    I have special ability to fall asleep quick if deciding to take a nap during office hours.

    Unfortunately, it’s not effective going to sleep in the evening
