According to Bright Side, an anxiety disorder is a very unpleasant illness in life. However, people with this disorder may also unknowingly develop certain powers that make them “special”.
1. See through someone’s lie
People with anxiety disorders are more aware of their surroundings than anyone else. For this reason, they easily spot a lie if something doesn’t make sense. When you talk to them, they focus and listen to every word. So don’t lie and hope that they will believe you.
2. Sudden high IQ
The photo above is Kim Ung Yong, who is said to be the smartest genius in the world. He knew four languages by the age of 2, studied algebra at the age of 3, became a student at a university at the age of 4, and was invited to work at NASA when he was 7 years old. His name is in the Guinness Book of Records, recognized as the person with the highest IQ in the world, with a level of 210.
And Yong is also an anxiety disorder. Because of anxiety and fear, Yong often analyzes the surrounding events and that contributes to his IQ increase. Nothing escapes his eyes and mind as Yong pays attention to every minute detail.
In fact, we also see that people with high IQ often suffer from anxiety disorders and vice versa. Science has already provided plenty of evidence for this connection.
3. Possessing a keen 6th sense
People with anxiety disorders also possess a keen sixth sense and seem to have a foreshadowing of the future that helps them avoid dangers in life.
Anxiety has existed since ancient times, and people have been anxious since birth. And so they consciously identify threats and warn others about them.
According to studies, people with anxiety disorders can detect threats in as little as 200 milliseconds! They can sense danger very quickly and even have enough time to escape death.
4. Can read minds
People with anxiety can read other people’s minds by capturing their emotions and determining their energy. They are very sensitive and can easily tell what is going on in other people’s heads.
They can easily recognize negative signals and react accordingly. However, it is very difficult for them to come into contact with someone with negative expressions for a long time.
5. Outstanding memory and creativity
People with this disorder tend to think longer than usual, so it’s easy for them to remember things. They are also very creative as they are quite imaginative. Unlike the average person, they tend to see things from different angles. This helps them think differently, and their superior memory helps them associate past events with current situations.
Over time, their imagination and memory also continue to become superior.
6. High ability to judge, make decisions and have empathy
No one is better able to judge than people with anxiety disorders. Because they themselves always have to go through many emotions, it is easy for them to put themselves in the shoes of others. They understand the feelings of others very well and are more easily empathetic.
7. Full of energy
It is often thought that people with anxiety disorders feel tired all the time. But the fact is that they are full of energy. Their minds never stop thinking and their bodies never stop moving. They are full of energy throughout the day and cannot sit still.
They are always advised to use this energy to do something beneficial, which can also help them reduce their anxiety disorder. They also struggled at first, but many were able to do it.
After all, anxiety doesn’t have to be a terrible burden, especially when you’ve read about all of the above possibilities for people with anxiety disorders.
