03 Crazy Disorders That Can Give You Amazing Superpowers
01: Hyperthymesia , 02; Synesthesia & 03: Congenital Sensitivity To Pain(CIP)

If You Have These Crazy Disorders, Then You Must Be A Super Hero Of Comic Books.
01: Hyperthymesia
You and your wife Gloria are two sides of a memory coin. You remember every happy and awkward moment of your life while Gloria's memory is more like a filter. She even forgets anniversaries, birthdays, and important dates.
Your brain has collected every detail of your past life. Every History test you bumped, every time you tripped in the cafeteria, and the day you slipped over your shoelaces during the school play. You are the superhero of Hyperthymesia, also known as highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM). Why did you not become a historian? Because you have already lived through all the events!
It is not all fascinating. You have a superpower with a downside. You see and remember, while most people forget their awkward moments and blunders. It is like having a superpower that makes you uncomfortable in bed at night.
Your wife Gloria's blissfully unaware of this blessing in disguise. She had forgotten her most embarrassing moments when she spilled Juice on your white shirt on her first date.
She does not lie awake at night and never remembers when she slept during the college farewell dinner party. Nope, she just woke up, laughed, and offered you another round of dance.
So the secrets of surviving hyperthymesia are mindfulness and therapy and you are hoping to tame the memory beast soon.
But at least, you don’t forget your grandma's secret cookie recipe, that is something cheerful!
02; Synesthesia
You and Julie, your best friend in college, share a secret. It is something extraordinary. Julie had synesthesia, a superpower to have a 24/7 sensory party of taste and colors in her brain. And you are the lucky one to witness it all.
Numbers are supposed to be boring, but not for Julie. Every digit has a taste. Sevens are like juicy blueberries and fives are like fresh chocolate cookies. But here comes a problem with the number twos, bitter broccoli. It is a big dilemma for her to concentrate on solving math equations.
After the Math test, you asked her," Why were you making faces during the test?"
“it was horrible today; all numbers were like stale bread " she replied hesitantly.
"It means you have a secret flavor brain party? She affirmed shyly. From that day , the math test is a secret game of taste and color for both of you.
But hold on, it is not so much fun. Sometimes, she hears a particular word like strawberry, and her face contorts like she has just smelled a rotten egg. And while driving, every green signal light feels like burnt meat.
Living with these mixed-up scenes is unimaginable. It is not an illness; she has created a more interesting world. She enjoys every moment with synesthesia because it is her secret superpower and not a curse.
03: Congenital Sensitivity To Pain(CIP)
You are worried about your son Johnny. You cursed when he burned his fingers and cried when he jumped from steep hills. He watched you and said, “ Dad, why do you make such a fuss? Pain is my buddy.”
Johnny is a unique individual. He possesses a superpower. He is a person with congenital sensitivity to pain ( CIP) and with CIP, he has no pain receptors. He can grab a hot chicken straight out of the oven as the oven is a cozy dragon. A bee buzzes by, and he does not bother? While his father, next to him, wincing at every sting.
This superhero quality may only happen to about one in a million people. One famous personality is Ashlyn Blocker. One day, Johnny luckily got a chance to meet her. Johnny told her with excitement “You’re my hero. She leaned closer and whispered, “But Johnny, sometimes pain teaches us. Be careful.”
They visited the doctor, hoping for a cure. The doctor scratched his head. “Sorry,” he said, “CIP is incurable. “Any advice?”
“Keep him safe, and invest in bandages.”
So Johnny continued his adventures and his father bandaged his wounds because he possessed a superhero quality.
Pain is a good reminder and alarm bells are important for our health.
You should check constantly for symptoms like swelling or weird-looking bumps to avoid future health issues.
