Are You Gifted?
Some people are gifted without realizing it. It takes time to understand the nature of your highly developed awareness. Until then you may turn your gifts upon yourself – scrutinizing and monitoring yourself. Your gifts may overwhelm you and leave you unable to cope with the world’s expectations. A gifted person may be plagued by:* a highly critical inner voice
* an absence of joy or enthusiasm
* use of alcohol, drugs or food to self medicate
* disappointment with the lack of high standards in others
* inordinately high expectations of the self
* feeling like an outsider
* chronic self doubt and feelings of being an impostor
* feelings of despair
* alienation from culture
* too many interests with problems prioritizing
* boredom
* depression
* a high level of sensitivity
Are you plagued by more than 5 of these? For then there is a good chance that you may be gifted.

Considering the word "gifted", in German there is a word "Gift" which means "Poison"
We have inherited the same word in my language. Poisoned is a good description. At times it can be curse to be gifted.
Consider yourself lucky for still having both halves. I often wonder where I had left my one half; and I don't even know which half I had mislaid.
I is imperative that you find it soon. My powers are getting weaker by the hour.
That lad is surely gifted. He KNOWS that the janitor accidentally switched the inside and outside signs.
My language is part of this group.
A Norwegian fella once came here and he was speaking Afrikaans fairly well after just a week.
I think this is because I have just lost my brain somewhere
To be thick is an unusual gift and losing your brain is often a blessing in disguise. Thinking mostly lead to trouble.
Push what where?
I won't argue with a pig in a karate suit; even if it is just a purple belt. She reminds me of lady Penelope.
Yes. I sit with a drawer full of hankies I will never use.
You may not know it at all. Let's try this:
1 Does it ever dawn upon you that the person in front of you only pretends to like you because he/she wants a favour?
2 Can you sense it when somebody tells a lie?
3 Can you sense it when somebody don't like you?
4 Can you sense animosity as you walk into a place.
5 Can you sense it when a loved one has a problem? Sometimes perhaps even before he/she is aware of the problem.
6 Can you sense it when danger lurks around you?
7 Can you sense it when a loved one is in danger.
8 Can you sense sadness even if they pretend to be happy.
These are the most basic gifts. I you can honestly answer yes to any of these then you are gifted.
including "what men really want", of course.
Which are your gifts?
If you are gifted you must develop them as as they get stronger new gifts will appear.
I you can do several of them easily you may be very gifted depending on how often you are wrong.
Regarding knowing what men want; that is not a gift but a born instinct with all women.
That is just the usual femal assuntion..........
It's not something I consciously work on or trying to develop. I'm just hardly ever wrong. Like LadyDiz I thought everyone could answer yes to all the questions...
Yes they call it female intuition.
Go for it and develop it.
As enege imand hie ron 'n gaawe had sa ammal gewiet het ik prat net klpmp bollie.
It is so great to have the upper hand knowing somebody is talking BS without him realizing that that you are onto him.
Now Google Translate is working overtime again.
Yes, you may be right and gifted after all.
I KNEW YOU LOVED MISS PIGGY
you mudt be gifted to know that I'm sweet on Miss Piggy. Don't tell the others. Let it stay here.
But your instincts are dropping you now. We all like you.
Yes I could sense (and hoped) that most South Africans can at least understand Afrikaans.
But follow your instincts for flow with the force.
