I can also spot a 4 leaf clover when just walking along or looking down into a patch of clover. DIdn’t realize others had this “superpower”! And, I can throw a good party. And I can find good deals on the web 
I can work backwards from a goal and determine what needs done and in what order and on what timing. I used to get really frustrated with other people’s “lack of initiative” until I realized not everyone can do that. I also have a great sense of direction and can find my way around bad traffic, etc even if I am unfamiliar with a neighborhood. Somehow the two seem related.
Happy Monday morning Superfriends!!! 
Some of these are funny - and I’m glad some are entertained. But also the point of the thread was to empower all of us to realize our strengths - even in our average everyday lifes we often overlook what we can bring to the table in life to stand out as a stellar human being.
I am a “baby/toddler whisperer”. Usually can soothe them, entertain them on planes and tweak a good individual sleep routine as needed. (Of course, this skill emerged after our eldest outgrew their colic.)
I’m amazing with faces and names. Decades after meeting someone, I’ll remember them. This is especially remarkable in my house because DH has absolutely no skill with this at all.
I also remember what I wore and what others wore. Thirty four years ago, we had a dinner party. We recently had some of the same people over for a reunion, and I floored them all by remembering what the women wore 34 years ago and the fact that one of the women didn’t feel well that night and didn’t eat anything. She didn’t remember that at all.
I always know when to use “effect” and “affect.” It’s a gift, I know.
I also use its/it’s and there/their/they’re correctly every time. Apparently that’s a lost art, at least according to my Facebook feed.
Animals seem to love me. If I’m in a group of people and a stray dog wanders up, it will come straight to me. I don’t know why.
Animals love D and gravitate to her as well, even animals that are generally shy of people. She loves them as well, even though she is mildly allergic to some of them.
My DD thinks my super power is that I have ‘read the entire internet’ and can find her the answer to anything, she doesn’t know I just ask on CC
I definitely am a finder, if I have seen the thing, I have a picture in my mind and I can see where it is or was, and can also remember dates the same way, picture in my mind: “that was fall 1986, you had that blue shirt on, we were at so & so’s house”
I can also follow instructions quite well, IKEA creation, no problem, rebuild a carburetor via YouTube, no worries.
I had a super power back in high school: I was completely invisible to girls.
I can make people see how basically any topic is relevant to them. It’s a useful skill as a historian and public health person whose salary mostly rides on convincing people my project is worth funding 
Eta this is one both my dad and I have. We’re magnets for stray animals and people. I can’t count the number of people and animals we’ve taken in over the years. They just kind of show up on our door step.
After this morning, I’d have to say the ability to sit through a meeting and not leaping over the table to strangle my boss.
I am very cool in an emergency. I worry I will be one of those people some day that gets accused of something awful and people will say, “Did you see how cool and collected she was on that 911 call? She must have done it.”
Would some of those finders tell me where I put all the herbal tea in the house? It is not with the rest of the tea. I know it’s all bundled together in a decorative tin for the last neighborhood association meeting that was at our house. But where did I stick it?
Based on past experience, I freeze when I am scared. Don’t count on me to be helpful.
I am a magnet for lost children.
I see them and stop and figure out the situation and have since I was very young.
Many many kids. Youngest was 18 months traveling down a street in their walker. (cars driving by).
Took him up to his house that I was guessing at and his mom was angry with the 5 year old for not watching
him while vacuuming. No thank you.
Once I had a $$ suit on with a camel wool straight skirt and white wool jacket and high heels coming from an interview. Saw two 5-6 year old boys throwing rocks at cars on a major highway. I pulled over onto a muddy slope,
sweet talked them into taking me to their house. Walked through a field. Mom started yelling at them and never
said thanks.
Most of the others have been just lost children at parks and grocery stores and such.
D18 has one superpower that towers above all the rest:
- **Incredible resilience**. Put simply, she shouldn't even be here. She's part of a failed twin pregnancy, PPROM at 17 weeks (30-40% survival rate), one pocket of fluid until 26 weeks, complete placenta previa at 26 weeks (at this point, the top-dog perinatologist at Northside hospital sighed, *now you've covered the entire chapter on complications*), and low birth weight (4.5 lbs at 36 weeks) ... yet went home three days later. After that disastrous start, by kindergarten she was in the gifted program and was a member of the team that set the freestyle relay swim record for our county. She suffered from acute glomerulonephritis at 7-9 years old and serious pneumonia following the damn swine flu at 8-9 years old, but bounced back to be NMF this year. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it all with my own eyes.
@suzy100 Oh, wow, me too! Comes a crisis I’m able to detach, analyze, and report, and I wonder how cold I come across.
I am great at finding golf balls when everyone else has given up.
I also remember what everyone wore at events.
Because I am very sensitive at “minor” emergencies, my calmness and focus on facts and tasks at real emergencies can come across as cold. 
HouseChatte thx. That’s the word. I DETACH and analyze- which made me good as pharmacist on codes.
I seem to have a 6th sense at the precise time when my kids are going to call or text or send me a snap.
Love this thread!
As a fourth grader, I learned I had the superpower ability to recite pi to 200 digits, and learned that I could recite it in the amount of time it took to walk from the front door of our house, to the school bus stop up the street.
I remember this just being a fun thing to amuse myself, but when I reached high school I won a contest, handily beating three boys., and I won a whole pie.
