However when anyone asks me to prove it i can't, because it only works if you believe in it and/or no-one else is looking.

The last super power i realised i had was Teleportation... i fell asleep in london(on a train) and woke up in Sheffield (on a train)

I'm so cool.

I just logged onto the forum and found this dreck. I don't know who you are and quite frankly i couldn't care less.Your ignorance really suprises me, thet why i put your inane drivel in quotes.Let's look at the points in your rather bombastic message:1.) I hate to dissapoint you but i do not have to pretend to be anything i am not,i honestly was looking for someone who might have some words of confort,some idea on how to deal with the situation i am in; unfortunately i was answered by someone with no clue at all.2.)I was outed by some people i thought were freinds several years ago, i did not think the two groups even knew each other.It would be hard to say i can do what i can when no one is looking, which is something i never said: The first time my abilites/powers/whatever you wish to call them, manifested themselves, it was in front of 4 people who all had bigger mouths than anything else. The X-Men movies were just that , Movies; works of fiction. What i am talking about is fact . The person who refuses to let their curosity find other avenues has ,driven by first hand accounts of what i can do,made it his goal to either prove or disprove if it is true.The problem is the deeper he digs, the more true it becomes, this angers him, and others because this doubter who has a advanced Science Degree cannot believe his own eyes .This causes him to become more insistant on disproving it and the cycle continues. and 3.) I am not paranoid or a wanabe ok? The fact is that they are afraid of me,i can see it in how they act around me.As for my comment about having to control my temper at all times, also quite true. I ruined someone's life by accident several years ago, never raised my hands in anger since[somethime life's lessons are cruel but also i guess necessary] too bad the message i just responded to wasn't among them..Pietro
