Odd or humorous facts about yourself

[MarionC]

some of you - as lovely as you are - are creeping me out

i count things as i eat them
i will not eat certain numbers of things - Gary knows to give me a nice number of M&Ms - never 4 or 8 - dont like 6 much either, 9 is a bit ugly but better than 14

I do that too. Of course six is bad, but four always made me uncomfortable. Then I tried thinking of four as a strong solid number and now when I get four of something it’s like ingesting strength.
Recently I realized that the word four means four cornered (stable) , and in French the word forte means strong : )

Idk... I'm just odd and funny... I cant think of anything of note to share lol.

It's 150am and I cant fall asleep so let me try...

-3rd gen widow. Paternal Grandma (first time in her 20s, 2nd time when I was a tween or teen), paternal aunt, and me.

-i dislike most people. Most people like me and instantly feel comfortable enough to tell me anything.

-im a cat lady but a dog magnet. Strange dogs walk by and steal kisses. Weird.

Love this. All of it, except I am sorry you are a widow.

I recognize myself in so many of these posts that it’s giving me a weird feeling, that there is a reason we are all gathered here. Or found each other.

Hey Pinto Bean, I hope you get some sleep! I’ve been listening to a guy named Michael Sealey on YouTube for years and he helps me fall asleep every night.

It's interesting to me that so many of us have some psychic abilities or great intution!
Occasionally, and not a skill I can "tap into", if I have physical contact with someone I get vivid imagery, and somehow know exactly what I'm seeing. ..when this happens I always ask the person if that imagery is relevant to them. For example, I touched a patients arm, and suddenly was seeing aspens, smelling cool clean air..I knew it was Colorado. I asked him if he had any connection to Colorado, at first he said no, but then said he and his wife had been talking about retiring there. Its always so random, but so vivid when it happens.

I can tell when someone is lying.

I frequently know what someone is about to say.
I also know what they were about to say, but didn't. I've figured this out over time by asking people close to me, were you about to say (fill in the blank).

I'm very good at reading people, and definetly listen to the voice in my head when I get a creep alert.

If only I could intuit lotto numbers!

I was born autistic. Then I got over it somehow. I don’t know how though. My parents refused to talk to me in depth about it.

I don’t like people. This is because I can feel what they feel. I don’t want to feel that you know. I mean what should I do with that.

I know when people are lying to me. Not on the internet but I have to face to face with them.

I’m insomniac but I sleep like a rock. Meaning it’s hard to wake me up. It’s weird.

I sleepwalk. I could carry a conversation with anyone but I was actually asleep. Once awake I won’t remember any of it.

Odd- I have a sixth sense. Like I can see people who have passed on since I was a kid. They sometimes follow me in my dreams and tell me messages to tell their loved ones. Some I haven’t even met. Like my aunt who died before I was born and haven’t met or seen in pictures. She showed up in my dream asking me to tell her daughter to pray for her soul. Then I asked for a picture of her and it was her before she got sick. My dad who passed away also periodically shows up asking me to send messages to his brother my uncle and my mom.

Fun facts-
Got mad kitchen skills even though no one taught me how to cook. Like I know what the ingredients are just by tasting the food.

I can design jewelry even though no one taught me. Though I’m not the typical designer because I can’t draw much. I do my designs on wax and stick stones one the wax.

I function on very little sleep sometimes no sleep at all for days. Was useful when I was in school haha.

The Art I buy and collect is the reciprocal reflection of the current way I feel about myself in real life. If I buy bright happy art means I’m sad. If I buy dark heavy art I’m particularly in a bright shiny mood.

i have the completed opposite of 6th sence
i just don't see trouble coming
sometimes being oblivious is good ...sometime especially in social situations not so
i just don't pick up on all those little invisible signals

but my soul mate, my late cat Tinky, im sure we communicated on another plane
i could almost will him to turn up at the door and he'd be there

Hmmmm, in my experience when people go to see clairvoyants they either have no gifts at all, and are simply taking peoples money, are good at asking questions and reading body language and have no gifts at all, or they are clairvoyant, there isn't much in the middle and the many with no skills give the people that do have any types of skills a bad name.

I went to a psychic fair once, because it was on next to a shopping centre I go too, I paid some money, sat down, and a woman asked me questions and asked what I wanted to know. She didn't tell me anything I thought was particularly good or visionary, but I did ask her with out her telling me, about her disabled son, a partner that had cheated and left her and a heap of other things from her life. She ended up saying wow, you are really good at this, and I'm like perhaps you should give me my money back and you should be paying me to read you not the other way around.

For people that really can sense things or get messages from dead loved ones that's a doubled edged sword, it is something I mostly try not to do and think about because, again, in my limited experiences what people want you to tell them or what they really want to hear might be a long way from the messages, the real messages, that I actually pick up on.

I'm like a radar for knowing things like when people are going to die, how they are going to die, when one person is cheating on another or has a cheating spouse, if something is out of order that isn't noticeable to others, I usually notice it. And dead people sometimes have agendas - they want to tell the people they love messages that those people frequently do not wish to hear.

It's funny you should say that. That's the exact reason I've never bothered to try and see someone. So many fakes. I never hear of anyone with an actual gift doing public readings as a job. My mom has a work acquaintance that can communicate with the dead but she doesn't do it for money. It's just a part of who she is, if you know what I mean. I can only imagine what our dearly departed friends would have to say. Things like "please delete my **** history" comes to mind.

This reminds me a little of my sister. When she goes down stairs she has to count "1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3" and I think she has to end on 3 if I remember correctly.

@Daisys and Diamonds, Whaaaat, purple is last!! That's it we can't be friends lol! My husband is very OCD especially when it comes to food, he can be a PIA but we've been together almost 20 years. The secret is when I make brownies he likes the middle part and hates the edges and I'm the opposite. That's why we work!

brownie edges are the best.

I think I've only covered the "odd" facts, I can make outstanding kids balloon animals and I have a wickedly dark and at times particularly sarcastic sense of humour

Odd facts:

I'm terrible at mingling or socializing. It's very uncomfortable.

I don't like large groups of people, parties, etc. It's super draining.

I was born on the winter solstice.

Weird facts:

I can sense, hear and feel things that aren't there. Our last house had an additional "resident" and some temporary passer-throughs. I could tell you some wacky stuff. Matt kept a log it was so active. I have always been able to do it. I don't see it usually. It's hearing and feeling. I have been to more than one psychic type of person or just had a tarot reading randomly and they have always talked about auras. They have all described mine the same way and I have been told I attract things because of it.
