I have double powers as I’m neurodivergent and grew up in a highly traumatic household so you learn to pick on tiny signs that it’s about to pop off. Feel my life is fight or flight at all times.
I can’t speak for OP, but in my case I could tell how “bad” a day was likely to be based on small clues that most people wouldn’t see. Tiny things like a slight increase in the pitch of a parent’s sigh, how quickly keys were put down as they came through the door, the position of their shoulders as they picked up a dinner fork. How the almost invisible deepening of the creases around their mouth and eyes matched the increasing tension in the air. Instantly knowing by the timbre of the footfalls climbing the stairs if I needed to pretend to be asleep.
Growing up in an abusive, trauma-inducing household fosters a talent to sense the proverbial “blood in the water,” and how likely it is to send the sharks into a frenzy.
Haut Potentiel or High Potential (I guess) in english.
People who can think in a specific way (some say treelike, or like a statistics cloud, getting access to information, but not only “if a gives b, and b gives c, then a gives c”) and have relatively high intelligence.

give an example?
Dudes, why all the downvotes?
Thats pretty difficult as its almost like intuition. Your brain has learned about these micro signals and must picks up on vibes.
Just describe the situation

Hello my friend.
CPTSD & HP => knowing what people are going to do. But if you act on it people think you’re some sort of stalker, creep or manipulator.
Sorry for the thread necromancy, but what is HP in this context?

No problem about the grave digging 😁
Is it the same as sourdoué?
Yess (I guess, maybe it’s not a perfect translation).
Thanks!
If you’re french or reading french this might be of interest.
Hardly. I can gleam just enough from the shared latin heritage to make me dangerous at short sentences. But thanks!
Edit after translating the page: oh, that’s neat! I wish I had this growing up where I lived!
