Not yet officially. But I’m thinking of publishing online. Can you publish novel chapters on BP? Thanks so much!

    I would say compassion and empathy. You are able to see things from someone else’s perspectives and they both can go along way.

    Me too. It's almost like I can feel other people's emotions makes it hard to be around large groups. My therapist said the empathic trait for reading people usually comes from when as a child there's people that you have to read to be safe. Maybe it's just in my case for instance my dad was unpredictable so I had to learn to read his moods. Now it's a trait that I can't really turn off. I have to try hard to separate myself from feeling it if somebody is really stressed out or if there's a fight going on I just want to run. But it can also be a blessing. For some reason strangers like to come to me and tell me their problems and I don't mind lending an ear.

    I don't get stressed, embarrassed or nervous. EVER. You need a distraction? Social gathering need a pick-up? You got a question you're to shy to ask yourself? Need to do something that might make you look silly and want someone else to look more stupid? Just give me a call.

    I am exceedingly....quiet. That may not seem like a good trait, but allow me to explain. I hear everything before people realize I am there and can plan accordingly. Someone mumbles about the trash can being full? Poof, the trash is gone before they know it. Something else needs done at work but everyone else is busy? Done. Of course...there's always the problems too. If you're cheating on your partner? Better hope I'm not around. They deserve to know and I'll be the "little birdie" that tells them your dirty little secret. It's a good trait for me, and it can be a benefit to others. Just don't be a d**k.

    I'm incredibly skilled at holding my tongue and looking past my issues when needed. It doesn't matter how mad I am at a friend, I can put off b*tching at them until after I've helped them with whatever it is they've come to me for. No matter how much I dislike someone, I can hold a respectful conversation for as long as needed for them to leave again. If I know for a fact someone is going to do something stupid, and I've told them time and time again, I don't ever say "I told you so" after the fact. I just help them fix it. And if I'm working with an absolutely horrible, rude, obnoxious, and downright cruel customer? I keep a smile on my face and a calm friendly tone while dealing with them. Right up until their gone and then I'm raging like a psychopath the moment I'm able to. What part of "we didn't get any on the truck" do you just not understand? What do you expect me to do about that? Huh? You want me to go drive down to the god d*mned distribution center personally and tell them one single person wants thier product so I need them to get on that right now please!? Go shop on Amazon if you need it that bad and leave me and my poor cashiers alone! Like I said. I can look past them when NEEDED lol

    It can be a good and bad thing but I'm pretty good at self analyzing. I'm also empathic and very good at reading other people. Perhaps even better than myself but what I mean is that I constantly try to think how I can be better how I can make a situation different. I try to think of other people's point of views and why they may be acting the way they're acting. And for some reason I can usually give people great advice.

    I have to say that I find this type of question very awkward. I do not, as a rule, go around talking about myself and this has pushed me out of my comfort zone. Because of that, I have decided to push through and come up with an answer, so here goes.... As a four-year-old at Playschool, one of the 'teachers' said that I was 'a very good sharer' and that has stayed with me for some forty-odd years. It applies to anything really. If I have something and you don't, then I will either offer to share or offer it all to you. No strings attached. I will never forget how hard it is when you don't have enough to get by on. I think this applies to most people who have experienced tough times. They are usually the first to offer help because they know how it feels to go without. So yeah, I'm a good sharer!

    I have a natural hand in training dogs :). I have trained all three of our dogs. (even the/my puppy) Our oldest dog, Osa, is so smart she knows a handful of tricks without the hand signing. 🙂 And the puppy knows all the basics+ roll over! The middle dog is just stubborn, but he knows all of the tricks... and more.

    That's awesome and that's something you could do to earn money if you wanted. I must have a little of the gift because my dogs have always been extremely well-behaved except my chihuahua. I can't get him to learn much of anything because I can't find an incentive to train him. He has no interest in learning tricks and he doesn't like treats at all. He's so picky he won't eat anything but duck and pork type dog foods... Any advice OP or anyone? Something else I could use as an incentive because praise doesn't seem to work much either?

    My rat terrier named Teddy was the same way. He was and still is stubborn. I tried so many different treats. I noticed he always wanted to play with toys so I took the opportunity to use a toy as a treat. I used fetch as the game and he had to earn the toss. I would make him do the trick and once he did I would toss it. If your pet likes playing more than treats try this. Like remember how they made learning a game in school sometimes? I like to think of it as that!

    I am an expert level 'finder'. I can find almost anything my household members can't. I just go to where I think it could be and there it is every time. Sometimes it takes a little longer but I pretty much always find whatever needs found. I once found a dropped pill on the ground outside after it was dropped in the grass. I was told a general area of where it fell, went out and stopped and looked down and it was right in front of my feet!

    It may seem like a small thing, but I think I'm very good at being impartial when making decisions. I'm good at not letting my personal opinions influence me and I can stay level-headed and logical when making judgements in one favor or another. I can be unbiased and unprejudicial even if it affects me personally. I grew up in a house of people who were the exact opposite in very severe ways, and it made me someone who doesn't ever want to be that. So I can step outside of my own personal beliefs and look at the facts and not respond emotionally to things. Because of that, I'm also able to change my mind or admit I may be wrong if shown facts refuting my opinions and not take it as some kind of personal attack.

    I am a weirdly incredible empath. You tryna say you’re fine and have a normal fine face but you’re actually rotting inside? I’ll know it, and I’ll talk you through it. Point being, just looking at someone and I will know exactly what emotion they feel. Speaking of analyzing people, I SERIOUSLY can analyze people. I can tell if someone is tryna be nice or if they’re being nice to make me put my guard down and stab me in the back. For example at the start of 8th grade 4 girls brought me into their friend group. However ever since day 1 I knew there was something just OFF about them. Day 2 they start asking me who I ship them with and vice versa. By day 3 I dumped their butts! A little while later one of the girls had been dumped by the remaining 3 and told me how they made fun of me behind my back and secretly hated me. Didn’t shook me though. I subconsciously overanalyzed them and could tell they were the girls who did that. And yes I am friends with that one girl who got dumped by the other 3, because she didn’t and she also got uncomfortable with stuff they did!

    I answered something similar to someone else's post but I am an empath too and I can always read people and feel their emotions. My therapist told me it's because my dad was very unpredictable so I had to learn to read his moods to be safe. I'm sure it's not the same with every empath. it has its good and bad points. Being around other angry or stressed people can be hard to deal with.

    I think I was born a strong empath, but being around my mother made it stronger. She’s a bit unstable and always tells me and my sister to watch our tones when we don’t have one. Just generally emotionally abusive. I’m sorry you also went through that. Hugs! ❤️
