You dont have any special abilities, this type of phenomena is quite common actually. It can include everything from street lights, to watches, to light bulbs, batteries in electronics, and can affect anything that operates on electromagnetism (which, in this age, is sure a ton of things!).
Commonly, it tends to be connected to a lack of control over emotions. It seems to be a common link between many cases, but not all.
It sounds like fear is a big component of your life, and you have my condolences for that. How do you think you can work on that? It might be more important than any type of EM phenomena.

Reminds me of Scalar waves. I've read about Scalar Waves which are special type of EM waves but are not detected by ordinary EM instruments. However, they do not belong to mainstream science.
Fear/nervousness in combination with anger or fury may produce just a strong effect and allow me to remain in full control of myself. This is the most difficult emotion to trigger. I need to face a hostile person who can pose a danger to me and it can't be an act, it must be a real danger.

ahnggk, if we're ever over-run by terminator-style robots it will be people like us that can shut them down. It may be fantasy but I read once about techno-kinetics, people on the battle-field who could repair weapons using will alone. The ability extends beyond that because of it's nature - it's essentially psychokinesis at it's core and covers all abilities that relate to mind-over-matter. The ability is likely to get stronger as time progresses, again not 100% sure why (photon cloud?), but my own ability has increased dramatically over the past decade.
I too experience strangeness with computers and my cell phone having intermittent strangeness, and noticed a correlation between those events and my level of anxiety.

The computers I use are also affected. One computer wakes itself up when it I put it to sleep, just like my phone when I turn it off, it turns itself back on. The other computer did a blue screen, coincidentally the first after a very long time. Blue screens are mostly likely hardware issues. Everything worked perfectly again when my emotional episode is over.
I think in most cases it's not faulty wiring, but it's a different type of bulb than you use for indoor lighting which tends to cycle on and off after it ages, so, the bulb needs to be replaced when it starts doing that. There may indeed be wiring problems in some cases but I suspect the aging bulbs explain a lot more cases, as the wikipedia article explains for sodium-vapor lamps.

I don't fully believe the "walking under the lamp" then it flickers thing. Most of the time, I trace the phenomena to faulty wiring of the wires leading to the lamp running beneath the pavement.
At the end of life, high-pressure sodium lamps exhibit a phenomenon known as cycling, which is caused by a loss of sodium in the arc. Sodium is a highly reactive element and is easily lost by reacting with the arc tube, made of aluminum oxide. The products are sodium oxide and aluminum:
6 Na + Al2O3 → 3 Na2O + 2 Al
As a result, these lamps can be started at a relatively low voltage, but, as they heat up during operation, the internal gas pressure within the arc tube rises, and more and more voltage is required to maintain the arc discharge. As a lamp gets older, the maintaining voltage for the arc eventually rises to exceed the maximum voltage output by the electrical ballast. As the lamp heats to this point, the arc fails, and the lamp goes out. Eventually, with the arc extinguished, the lamp cools down again, the gas pressure in the arc tube is reduced, and the ballast can once again cause the arc to strike. The effect of this is that the lamp glows for a while and then goes out, typically starting at a pure or bluish white then moving to a red-orange before going out.
Congratulations to you for carefully selecting data and studying it, which is more than most people do in these cases. Maybe something else is going on in your case as you suggest.

So, we closely followed (as much as possible) every streetlight that would go out. Streetlights that were closer to home were videotaped. Without about an 80% accuracy, these lights would ONLY go out in my presence. Our study only lasted four months, but those lights were watched for most of it. I eventually figured there might be a link between that, and the phenomena that I experience with house hold lights, watches, various battery-driven devices, etc.
