My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).

there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that’s how he found out he has only one functioning eye)

Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

    When laying in dark, any smallest sound makes a bright flash appear in my eyes, before I realize there was a sound. So I am always surprised when it happens, and fraction of a second later I realize there was a sound. So it’s Synesthesia, but from Wish.

      Ha! This happens to me as well! I do have a funny slight extra detail though. I can’t really visualise images in my minds eye (almost aphantasia), but when I’m closing my eyes to go to sleep, and a sudden noise happens, I see a flash of white like you, but also usually some random af detailed image flash in my minds eye. It’s so weird, always different, always amusing, and the closest I get to visualising. It could be anything, like a old woman in a cowboy hat riding a horse or whatever. Also, I have slight grapheme-colour synesthesia, so it’s interesting that you called it wish synesthesia! I wonder if it plays some role!

    Imagine in your head a scene on the ocean near a dock with a sailboat. The wind is light and there are small waves lapping against the shore, rocking the boat.

    Well, I mostly can’t do that. Not much of a minds eye. If I really focus I can do it but there isn’t any detail, and my mind doesn’t fill in background.

      Have the same problem with aphantasia but full on, I can’t imagine feeling, hearing or any of my senses In my head. I know something is hot because I remember it hurt but I can’t seem to like create it in my mind.

      Although tbh it’s kinda fun to interupt someone when they say “ok imagine that…” And I’m like “no”. (Usually in jest with someone I trust)

      Lol I skipped past the first paragraph after reading the first few words, as it’s just a bunch of words to me, and then realised reading the next paragraph that exactly that was your point. Yes I definitely relate to you 😂

    I can smell moulds that nobody else can smell; at least for several more weeks until the moulds get mouldy enough.

    It’s basically the most pointless superpower. I can smell the cereal in the cupboard and tell my wife that it’s gone bad, but she won’t smell it so she’ll eat it and then nothing bad happens except possibly to her gut microflora

      My nose is specially sensitive to stuff like deodorants and synthetic perfumes, formaldehyde and other paint smells, the stuff from Odonil™, WD 40 etc. I feel like, if I wanted to train myself to detect non-lethal doses of HCN, I might manage it.

    I can fold my ears in on themselves and they will stay that way until I smile.

    Basically my ears are just super soft because I was always playing with them as a kid so the cartridge never really hardened up like it did for most other people.

    As I have gotten older and played with my ears less they don’t stay folded as long but I can still do it.

    Not myself, but my wife. We live in the country side with two cats, and they have a cat flap, 24/7 access. My wife can smell a dead mouse nearly from the second it’s dead. She complained last week about it smelling like death in our hallway, and we couldn’t find the source. It took two days for me to smell it, and then it was gone a few days later. We think it died in the ceiling, so couldn’t do much about it. But her smell for death is crazy!

    I can pop, or reverse pop my ears at will. Where most people talk about chewing gum to pop their ears on a plane I can push out and suck them in to change the pressure at will. It’s useful to help regulate how much noise gets in (in a small way) too.

    If I hold my pee for too long, I struggle to start peeing. It’ll weakly dribble but some will come out, then about 5 minutes later I can piss normally. It’s bullshit.

        Came on pretty suddenly when I had my appendix out around 20. They put a catheter in for the surgery and there was a little mishap that required some repair. Everything works fine unless there’s too much backpressure. Hasn’t changed much in the past 18 years.

    I have a rare condition called EBS (sometimes called butterfly skin). I am lucky enough to have a non life threatening form so it is usually only a problem when I walk/exercise in above 20°C temperatures. And I usually get benefits (I rarely have to queue for things)

    I can scoop a spit bubble up off the bottom of my mouth with my tongue, fold my tongue around it, and blow the bubble out of my mouth, and it floats to the ground.

    Can crack/pop most joints.

    Can wiggle both ears individually or together.

    I can cause my vision to go blurry on purpose - no idea if other people can?

    I can hear some electronic devices that are plugged in, can also hear when certain portable devices have finished charging, so basically I have pretty good hearing.

    I can pop my arms out of my shoulder joints, without using my hands, and back in again. Completely painless, but can sometimes do it by accident if I’m leaning against a doorframe etc, or pushing/pulling against something, so I have to be careful.

    I can turn my face red by tensing my jaw.

    I can turn my eyelids inside out.

    I can forcibly go cross-eyed.

    The back top of my skull is completely flat. If I shaved my hair off it would look like a chunk is missing haha. This also means there are dents in the middle top either side of my skull as well, almost like it has creased inwards. Was layed on my back too much as a child.

    I have a seemingly hidden source of strength, I am very slim and not particularly muscular, but am stronger than some friends who are bigger and more muscular than me. I also find it difficult to add any visible muscle mass. Maybe I have dense muscle?

      I can cross my eyes no problem but can’t make them look in opposite directions outward.

      And not particularly strong, but “stronger than I look” according to every guy I have playfully wrestled. I don’t know if I am strong or other women hold back, though. I never do because I understand guys who look my size have an advantage of like 100% more strength, even if I want to lose I try to win!

        I can go cross-eyed in both directions, though I have eye problems related to that anyway, so I don’t have to try particularly hard as a result.

        I definitely wouldn’t say I am “strong”, just stronger than what most people expect. I have had some people who were surprised when I beat bigger people in arm wrestles etc. Don’t hold back, try to win every time ;D.

      Have you been diagnosed with any hypermobility disorders? You might want to look into some and check with a doctor, because some of them have pretty nasty side effects since they lead to most connective tissue degenerating, even inside your heart

      Yes, I can focus and unfocus my eyes at will, I too, to razor sharp vision or so blurry that I can’t even make out features on anyone’s face. (Without going cross eyed, which I can also do with any eye at a time).

      It’s a good superpower, as I have glasses that I can wear if I want to which are roughly +3.5, but I rarely bother, because I’ll just use my eye muscles to see perfectly well,so I never freak out when I lose my glasses or whatever. I

      It’s really handy for zoning tf out, too. Which is mostly a blessing, but sometimes a curse, especially as I have the inattentive ADHD where I just go blank faced and stare into the blurry distance whilst totally disappearing inwards.
