I just think it's weird that I don't.Like people notice things that I don't and I notice the weirdest things that they don't. A whole group could notice something and I wouldn't.

I'm a little bit better when I don't feel out of it, but I haven't not felt out of it in weeks. This is mostly because of anxiety and having to be in the dorms where something is constantly going on, and I feel like I need a lot of rest for some reason.

Yup. I do the same thing, especially at work. I get compliments for noticing things others miss, but every once in a while I fail to notice the obvious and get kindly teased. It's all about percentages.

O yea I get compliments sometimes too!! I feel like I'm always the one to figure things out when no one else can. Yet I can't figure out anything that everyone else can do :P

Yes, I feel it too. I think out of the box most of the time and notice things no one do. But I have a hard time getting in the box and seeing some obvious things...

Thinking outside the box is a really good thing though, not many people can do that :)

Yes, just like you I'll see things I can't even begin to describe usually the weird and bizzar. I also can spot a hurt, homeless, or wounded animal a mile away. Also unfortunatly every dead animal on the side of the road. I travelled to almost every state and Texas holds the record for road kill...Sigh.....so gross

One day it will be the thing everyone NEEDS to be noticing, and WE will be the ones
who have it together, and THEY will be the flailers!

LOL! ....I understand exactly what you mean.

I notice really weird stuff that rarely comes in handy but it does entertain the people i'm around. Like I will notice that there is the same book in three different stacks on one table that no one else has seen, but I WON'T notice that I should have gone to lunch 10 minutes ago or that there is a pack of rabid wolverines chasing me. Ya know, little stuff.

I frequently miss the obvious but I make up for it with all of the minute details I do perceive.

Yep I get told that a lot, regarding really obvious things that I miss.

But I remember that the old woman at the interview was wearing a purple top with a flowery shawl ^^;

haha mmm..I notice everything everyone is wearing. That's why I'm doing fashion design! If only I could remember what I noticed I liked about certain styles so I could use them for my designs :(.

Today my friend beeped at me 5 times, and I still didn't turn my head. I heard it, but it didn't really process in my mind that the beep was for me, so I didn't really look. I had never seen his car before and I couldn't really see him. He called me deaf :(
