6th sense while manic (hypo)? *possible trigger*

I have been doing “grey area” things/scams all my life along with my other ventures. They NEVER hurt anyone directly or indirectly tho. I’m VERY careful in what I pick and chose to do. I have been fascinated all my life by finding and creating loopholes in things, especially if there’s financial gain. I’m the guy that always “figures it out” if it’s interesting enough for me.

Because of that, I have always been on “alert” and a little paranoid. Problem is, I have figured out through my vast network of friends that sometimes I wasn’t paranoid, I was correct. I’m not saying that I’m always right, but I know and have gotten confirmation in instances that I was correct more than a few times.

But I understand, when I am high mania I do get paranoid. And it’s hard to distinguish paranoia vs psychosis, those times I have to remind my self every few minutes it’s all in my head or else I will have a border line panic attack.

As far as the 6th sense with animals, I get that as well. I can focus in on a mean barking dog and they will get scared or look away or calm down. With nature sometimes birds will start flying around me and start chirping and stuff. They let me get extremely close to them because I feel like they understand I won’t hurt them. I think this is what Steve Irwin tapped into. And why he was able to pull that crazy stuff off.
