Tell us something true about yourself , that we don't already know or wouldn't have guessed

Ok, well this is a really strange thing, I picked it up during nursing and it is still with me.

Before someone dies, I see a dark shadow creature out of the corner of my eye, I have no idea what it is and it moves really fast, but it has never failed, after I see it someone dies.

I really hate it and it gives me chills.

Yes, you would make a terrible eye witness. What you could do to help is to remember the color of hair, eyes, height, how dressed, tattoos, style of hair or bald, any facial hair, jewelry and if he/she had a vehicle what type, suv, sedan, pickup, make, model, color, license plate number, any bulbs burned out and which way they were headed and how many in vehicle. Those are all helpful cues.

One thing that I can do well, is hear well. So much so, that I can hear a drop of lotion when it touches the carpet. That's why it's hard for me to sleep straight through the night if there are any sounds in the room, etc, I keep waking up. lol

I have that.. I can literally hear a pin drop in the next room... it;s Ironic because I have extremely acute hearing.. altho' I grew up in a predominately deaf family..

That bullfight was amazing! Just going out there and doing it took courage, no matter the size of the bull! I have heard that they focus on the cape, and you just have to move out of their way. What an experience! Thanks for sharing the photos!

Sounds like the Reaper on the movie “Ghost.”

good Lord Tish, wow, how eerie .. has that only ever been while you were nursing, ?.. has it ever happened before a family member of friend has passed ?
 

Tell us something true about yourself , that we don't already know or wouldn't have guessed​

I once turned NASA down to be one of their astronauts because they wouldn't allow me to eat crisps on the way to the moon, and, I also told Jacques Cousteau that I would not double for him on camera anymore.
Then, I refused to join one of the British political parties with a view to becoming Prime Minister.
If you believe any of this, you're dafter than I am. 😊

I'll start .. I have a condition called.. Prosopagnosia ( Face Dylsexia )– which literally means 'not knowing faces' – Sufferers, who may not have any other problems with their memory, find it hard, or even impossible, to identify a person's face.

Hollydolly, I have that too but did not realize it was an actual thing!!!! I once got upset with a strange man in an airport because I thought he was my brother ignoring me when he came to pick me up. Poor man thought he was being acosted by a crazy woman. I worked for a man for 4 years and somebody said, "Oh, is he the one with the mustache?" and I honestly did not know if the man I had worked for for four years had a mustache. How strange. Now I will have to read about this. Thank you! I did not realize this was a real thing.

On the other hand I can pretty much tell you every word of a conversation I had with someone 15 years ago.

yes I'm the same, I remember conversations very well.. .. I never mistake anyone for someone ( as in your example).. i simply just don't recognise anyone..

To give an idea what it's like to those who don't know..

Imagine you;re walking through Times Square or Oxford street London, on Christmas or New years Eve.. there are thousands of faces.. the next day or a week later you're asked to pick these people out of a line-up... You probably wouldn't be able to do it..

That's how it is for me.. I see the faces.. but they just don't register in my brain, unless I see them over and over and over again..in the same place.. ...

Another example.. I have several close friends on this Forum, who have been my friends for many years.. I know what they look like I've seen their avatars on here or pictures by PM or email .. often,.. and I recognise them instantly on here... but if they were to come to London tomorrow and I was standing next to them I wouldn't know them unless they told me who they were

It was just out in the news that Brad Pitt suffers from this. Many people thought he was an A** because he could not recognize people at random. He should have made it public sooner so people would understand. Must be a horrible thing to go through sometimes.
 
Uppity?? ... downstairs, playing in the rec room as a kid, it was always "ping pong" to me.
I guess it has to be given a classier name for competition ..lol

Wow @Tish

Oh I didn't read that about Brad Pitt.. but I tell you, I've had this all my life of people accusing me of being stuck up, and choosing to ignore them when I'm out and about... People get very angry or have actually stopped talking to me in the past because they thought I was being too snooty to speak to them !!

I had always realized I had this problem but others just kind of rolled their eyes when I would try to explain. I even had one person tell me it was because I did not care about people, that they were unimportant to me. I am so glad to have a name for what this condition is.

1 ... what a weird thread this is .. :eek:

2 ... downstairs, playing in the rec room as a kid, it was always "ping pong" to me.
I guess it has to be given a classier name - Table Tennis, for competition.

3. and Wow @Tish! .... just wow

yep that's the idea of the thread.. something strange, something unusual about you.. or anything you want to tell that we may not have guessed about you..

The only people I've ever told is my family.. outside of this forum... no-one else understands when I've tried to explain in the past because they've never heard of it ...they think I'm making excuses for ignoring them
 
The other day..I got a letter from the House of Commons ( not going to say what was in it )... that's the equivalent of getting a letter from the White house for some of you... bt it's the first time I've ever had a letter directly addressed to me from the big house..
...

The envelope looks quite plain white and ordinary on here but in reality it's actually a cream/yellow colour , and thick quality headed notepaper

I am surprised you did not see it, it has been everywhere recently. You need to be up front with everyone about this, it is not your fault, it is just how your are wired IMO. It took me along time to tell people about my panic disorder. Now I am upfront about it, turns out a lot of people I know suffer from the same thing.
