My boyfriend can smell when someone drank alcohol hours (or even days!) later. He seems to smell it in a person’s sweat, so we suspect he senses some kind of metabolite.

As to me? In-person I seem to emit a comforting, trustworthy aura. Children and stray animals approach me like they just know that I’m a safe space for them. As a result, I’ve acquired quite a list of no-kill shelters in my phone. I also ended up working in children’s therapy.

Adults who share my wavelength can also recognize it in me, and I can recognize it in them - we’re drawn to each other in the same “inherently trustworthy” way. I suspect it’s an aspect of neuro-divergence.

I have special ability to fall asleep quick if deciding to take a nap during office hours.

Unfortunately, it’s not effective going to sleep in the evening
