One of the reasons we are able to sense others is that our minds race. While others look at a person listening to their words, we observe everything around those words at a million miles an hour.
While others read a letter, we recognize what’s between the lines immediately. Oftentimes when asked “How did you know?”, your thought is “How could you not?”.
Many of us receive compliments on our minds and do not compare mental capacities. It isn’t in us. “You are very smart” often triggers thoughts regarding average intelligence of those we need to deal with on an everyday basis.
We analyze without noticing. It is a part of our instinct. It is needed. Often, people try to talk us out of it. We actually not only don’t develop it further, we “learn” to just run with it.

I have stated in prior blogs that I’m hypervigilent. After a traumatic experience this has hightened. It’s as though I take everything in at once. I notice everything. I received a threatening letter from an employer. No one read it! I knew immediately this was not a normal letter. The threats seemed as though they were enlarged. It took many attempts with co workers to point out specific words. It’s all about a PPP loan. Had I not sensed immediately danger had I signed and turned over document it would have been a federal offense. I’m a protector. I was able to warn good people letter a fraud. Not legit. Contact senators attorney general. Co workers say I have never ever met any one so smart. I don’t think it’s so much intelligence as ability to feel danger recognize dishonesty vs. Truth. As another mentioned trauma in relation to intelligence. I think we just take in more and get it. Now I have to follow through. Sheild. Protect. I cannot comprehend how any person can harm such loyal workers. Greed. I had my eyes closed a picture in front out finger on this person and said this is the bad one watch out. Letter was illegal. Now I’m feeling sick because everyone scared some signed. Person was going to endanger children. Took millions out did nothing to ensure patient or worker saftey. Why couldn’t the others see the threat right away? Can’t allow this to happen… I just want monotony. Now another fight for justice.
