Me too. I used to really get frustrated when others couldn't see what I thought were obvious answers looking at a situation. Now I've come to sincerely believe there's something strange in me that allows me to see these things because when I've tried to take the Socratic method to get others to see what I see in various situations, I realize there are a lot of people who actually can't. Some people can get it via experience, but I've been able to do the same thing in areas or situations where I have zero experience (and now I'm talking about life, not just technical stuff).

I don't want to get on a high horse and say I have superpowers or something like that. But for some reason I'm able to do something that others can't, even though I think it's simply simple logic. It's sometimes a scary thing, because when I'm wrong, I have a difficult time figuring out why I'm wrong if someone else isn't able to do the same thing and "see" ahead.

Sometimes it seems to me that "seeing" is a better word than "thinking" here, because for the simpler things, it's not like I try to use brain cycles on the issues at hand.

And I hate saying this stuff, because it makes me sound arrogant when I know that I'm really incompetent at so many things.
