Ultra Human?

Post by Jodiat »

Ok guys I have really poor long sighted vision. Which is getting worse each year (im 24 now). But my close sight is amazing and I can see and read at point blank range.

When I was younger I was told if you lose a part of a sense you gain it back in another.

My hearing is really amazing almost super human. I can hear phone ringing in other rooms while other people cant. I can hear 'bubbles' tinging in a can of coke in a room! It stops me from sleeping too! Im always very aware of my surroundings and I often hear things I wasnt meant to.

So does anyone else have freaky human abilitys?

hehe true! It has its perks mind. Yet I also cant turn off as easily as others and it can take some time to get off to sleep but Im a heavy sleeper when I do.

I also think it crazy how you find how you are double jointed in joints! Its not like you are forced into the movement of being double jointed - it all flows natural as if your body just wanted to let you know. Im double jointed in 3 or 4 places.

ok well for example I can bend my right thumb back straight (when it hits it join limit It stops bending further back on itself. While my left thumb can bend back but its limit is much more and its looks 'odd' 'different' and diss-jointed. They are quite unique and the joint seems to slighty dislocate itself to allow further 'not normal looking/functioning' positions. Im also double jointed in my 3rd left toe. My friend is double jointed in his pinky finger and he can almost bend it all the way back on itself!

Well its natural to create deviation, because some deviation might
be much better, and become the norm eventually.
So, yes, it serves evolution and not a flaw at all..

You could take a look (no pun intended) at the Bates Method.

I tried it. Bought the book and downloaded the book (as the copyright is out of date so its free). I also went to a practinoner of the bates method and it works well but I didnt keep it up. (no pun intended :P)
