For the past 8 months whenever a I touch a metal object I experience an electric shock, so everytime that I’m going to use my laptop I get a little bit afraid, even when I shake hands with people. I get like 10 electric shocks a day, so I was wondering, do I have super powers?

So I searched on Google How do I know if I have superpowers, and the first link I opened was a Quiz, and my results say that I can transform in anything, nothing to do with electric shocks, right? well, a questionnaire will never tell me that I have a superpower because is to generic, so I kept looking.

I found in Quora someone that ask practically the same question I did, and an anonymous person answer to him, saying that he has the method to awake SUPERPODERES, so I followed the steps:

  1. Belief: I got my mind ready. I was thinking that I really have superpowers, that I can do something that no one else can, that I have hidden my habilities for a long time and is the moment to awake them, and show to the world what I can do, yeah man, I’m unnestopable!
  2. Know which kind of super power I posses: after I really believed in myself (100% real, no fake), I had to find out which kind of superpower did I have. Fortunately that was easy, electric shocks — electric powers. Everything was going excellent, I thought I was going to save the world pretty soon.
  3. Test: So I did what this man said. I tried to light a bulb. I was really focus trying to light it, like for 10 minutes, and guess what? yes, I got an electric shock picking up the bulb, nothing else.

Finally I ended reading all the answer and he said he was kidding… are you seriuos? I was so dumb thinking that I had superpowers, but then I thought, who wants to have superpowers? I have too many responsabilities studying and with everything else, I don’t need anymore. So I’m relieved right now, no extra stress, this process was good anyway, I can sleep in peace.

Hope you liket it. You can follow me on Twitter @JesusPinarte where I usually write my non personal feelings. Also if you see something that I wrote bad, or very bad that makes you think “this guy doesn’t know how to wirte in English” please tell me, please, I’m begging you for that.

Thank you and write you later.
