Well, if you've never been hit with a table, you haven't really lived.

From what you've said in other threads something tells me you've experienced this...

LOL

I've been hit with a table, yes. And a chair and two bar stools. Thankfully, not all on the same day!

I almost fell out a window once, but before I even knew I was falling, my arm jumped and stopped me.

It was like someone inside me was watching out for me. Freaky, but it saved my life.

I've heard there's actually a lag of up to several minutes between reality and our perception of it.

If that's true, I never made bad choices knowingly.

Kind of liberating, really.

Dunno really... my perception of reality is vastly different from anyone I've met so I can't really comment there.
I notice things far sooner than I react to them owo

I've sort of got that, too. I can see what someone's about to do before they even know, sometimes. I used to think I might be psychic, but now it's more like I think that most people are sort of sleepwalking, and I'm not as asleep as they are, if that makes sense at all.

It's like, I'm supposedly crazy and see things that aren't there, but I see more clearly than a lot of the people I know, because they're seeing it all through some sort of haze, like their thoughts get in the way of their senses or something, and I'm just looking at what's there and doing my best to interpret it, rather than trying to fit the facts to my mental constructs or ideals.

It's totally different online, of course, because I can't actually see anyone, and only know what's happening as they post it, but in the real world I see things differently, and am a little more on-the-ball than the people around me, though I'm the messed-up one, lol.

If you think that's weird try having heightened senses. I sense some creepy stuff at times... stuff I seriously can't explain. or even describe.

sleepwalking? I think it's more a veil that the world likes to wear. we conform to our day to day lives and live out of habit.

for me I have observed people all my life. since middle school I knew I was not normal... so I observed but I never acted. so I have a ton of experience noticing things but no experience reacting to them

I've got some experience with interpersonal interaction, and some of it isn't even bad. XD

I get what you're saying there, I can sense stuff too, sometimes. And I'm very sensitive to sounds and smells, especially in the dark. In the dark I can actually see better without my glasses sometimes, too.

Everyone I live with thinks I'm a volume-nazi or something, but when the television is so loud it hurts my head from in the other room, and they say they can't hear it properly if it isn't that loud, then I'm either in a house full of deaf people, or I've got ears like a bat. I tend to think it's the latter.

I can also tell when food is off before I'm within a few feet of it, whereas others have to hold it up to their faces and smell it. I think it's just my body's reaction to something I'm scared shitless of; I'm deathly afraid of eating something bad and not knowing it's off.

I do that whole hold my face to it thing... worst. idea. ever. But I KEEP DOING IT! .

I can actually smell the moment milk goes sour o.o
just before it does milk loses all smell.

perhaps you are hypersensitive. you seem to have the same problems. though I find one sense always ends up being dominant. for me that's smell

I'm really sensitive to touch, smell and sound, and apparently I also have an extremely refined and delicate palate.

In contrast, my eyesight is that of a mole.

If I don't want to be touched, all touch is either too tickly or feels like someone's trying to bruise me, and although I can mentally adjust myself to tune out unwanted noise if I have nothing else to focus on (like when I'm trying to sleep I can usually fade all sounds into grey noise), but if I'm trying to do something like write, sounds interrupt with nearly physical force.

I do all the cooking now, because everyone else likes my food better and I don't like theirs much. I know what tastes good.

As for the smell thing, well, let's just say as much as I hate to do so, I clean the bathroom a lot. I can smell it when nobody else can. I've also managed to locate dead mice and get rid of them when nobody else could smell anything (I have a cat, and she doesn't eat what she kills) because I'm afraid of the germs making people sick, I think.

In short, I have crappy vision, and the rest of me in in hyperdrive, as if to make up for it.

That's pretty common really. Blind people are actually very well known to being extra sensitive after losing sight.

that ticklish feeling oh god that feeling is awful.

sound doesn't bother me as much minus certain pitches. due to having a brain that is constantly trying to work noise really helps to force my brain to think on one hang at a time.

I do really well with earphones in and some music, but I always end up taking them out so I can tell what's going on around me. Music makes me ecstatic if I'm not careful, and I sometimes cry for no apparent reason when listening to it.

Touch is weird with me. If I don't particularly want it, it's repulsive. If I'm into it, like I want that person to touch me, every touch is a stroke of pleasure. It's like every bit of me is feeling it and wanting more. Like music, but without sound. It can make me cry too, which confuses people.

If I'm not into it, I shudder with revulsion. Then they suddenly think I dislike them, and/or have just become a cold bitch.

Bad food can make me ill without even eating it. I look at it and know it's crap, and it makes me retch. I can smell if it's going to taste good or bad.

I should be a restaurant critic or something, I could do a fantastic job of it, but there's that whole going out and sitting in the place thing, and if they brought me bad food, I'd not be able to eat anything. It'd be a waste of time and a grave displeasure, simultaneously.

I have a bad eyesight. And I can't smell anything unless someone tells me over and over again that it stinksand even then, sometimes I simply agree because I'm tired of them insisting that it's a bad smell Though I do hate and can sense toilet smells, garbage and my sisters not bathing, and food, of course

But touch, I'm very sensitive. If someone touches me while I'm deeply engaged in something, I don't really feel it, but if there's nothing else then I go all ticklish and jumpy and uncomfortable. Somebody just holding my hand would make me feel like I'm.. trapped, paralyzed. I know it's a kind gesture, but I've only felt comfortable holding my best friend's hand, but now I don't even feel comfortable while she's holding either D:

I'm part deaf, most of the time. I can't hear a lot unless I want to. but when I'm all alone or left alone or something, then I can hear every single thing that's happening around me I think that's natural, though.

Yeah, the bustle of everyday and being focused makes you insensitive to it after a bit, and then when there's no stimulation, you become more deeply attuned. I can see that.

And holding hands only feels okay to me if I really feel like doing it, which is rare. If they're grasping at me, and I'm not feeling like grasping at them, it's really, really, creepy and uncomfortable.

Yes. Uncomfortably I'm scared of me being the one holding hands, I think it has to do with.. being scared of rejection. I know it's a very small thing and that I'll forget all about it soon, and that most of the time they don't push your hand away, but I'm scared nonetheless >_> It's the same fear why I never send out friend requests, not being the one to start messaging a lot, being the one who is scared of claiming someone as a friend, before they do the same. I'm.. a cow

You should send me a friend request, because I realized yesterday that I've not thought to send you one, and I felt bad. You're one of the best friends I've got here, and you're not on my list, at least I don't think so, and I feel like I should have friended you a long time ago.

I'll not reject anything about you, and I won't even make you hold my hand, lol.
