Wow ... this is me! It always freaks my DH out that he can work with someone for over a year and when I meet them, I will have uncovered things about them he never knew in just a matter of 10 minutes.
I get this reaction from others as well. What strikes me as 'oddest' is when I listen to people and then reflect back to them what they have just said, and they stare at me as if I have magic powers - "How did you know my deepest darkest feelings? Yes, that's exactly the way I feel?"
And I think (but don't say) - well, you just told me 5 minutes ago...
Apparently most people can't decide to receive what another person says if it differs from what they believe. And most people don't keep track of what they've said. (I'm sure I don't!) I think my giftedness comes into play where I can put together what I hear with what I already know about the world and ask perceptive questions.
Smiles,
Grinity
