Hello my friend.

CPTSD & HP => knowing what people are going to do. But if you act on it people think you're some sort of stalker, creep or manipulator.

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but what is HP in this context?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Haut Potentiel or High Potential (I guess) in english.

People who can think in a specific way (some say treelike, or like a statistics cloud, getting access to information, but not only "if a gives b, and b gives c, then a gives c") and have relatively high intelligence.

No problem about the grave digging 😁

If you're french or reading french this might be of interest.

Hardly. I can gleam just enough from the shared latin heritage to make me dangerous at short sentences. But thanks!

Edit after translating the page: oh, that's neat! I wish I had this growing up where I lived!
