    If you could have any superpower, which one would you NOT want?

    I would NOT want to fly! I had dreams when I was younger where I could fly, but I couldn't control it. So instead of flying in a straight line, I would just spin uncontrollably (like sommersaults in the air). And since I tend to get dizzy quickly and have slight motion sickness, those dreams were not my favorites!

    So what about you? What superpower would you NOT want?

    @Aussiegirl As someone who suffers from vertigo from time to time, those dreams would not have been fun for me either!

    I have vertigo horrible too.. but if I was a super hero maybe I wouldn't have vertigo.. do super heros have vertigo do they suffer the same things that normal humans like us do.. if not. I want to fly
    or be invisable or maybe walk through walls and fun stuff...

    I would not want to mmmmm.... control the weather by my emoitions
    it would suck to be sad and have it rain or be mad and have it thunder or something like that you know

    Same, but it's motion sickness for me so anything flying around or even super speed would make me puke! ;)

    I would NOT want to be able to hear everyone's thoughts. The things people say out loud are enough to deal with.

    This is what I was thinking. I do not want to know what's going through everyone's minds! I have enough people (my kids) telling me their thoughts and feelings all day long. LOL!

    I would not want to have super strength. Encanto traumatized me for that! I felt so bad for Luisa.

    Thats a good one! If I had that super power there would be lots of earthquakes, volcanoes, and F5 tornados. :box
    But that seems to be the "struggle" of super heroes - how to moderate themselves in order to use their gifts.

    Me neither. I saw a Buffy episode where that happened and it made me sad.

    I'm with the others that said they would not want to hear peoples' thoughts/read minds. Nope, no way. Especially not the teenagers I work with every day :giggle. The only exception being the nonverbal students I work with...sometimes I'd love to know what they're thinking.

    I would not want to read minds. I think I would be appalled at what I found out. People can keep their thoughts to themselves.

    Same! I read a book where the main character could hear everyone's thoughts... stuff of nightmares for me! I have a hard enough staying focused in a room full of multiple audible conversations, I can't even imagine adding the inaudible ones into the mix too!!

    Vertigo and Motion sickness here- no spinning or intense looping motions like a roller coaster.

    I would totally put up with being the local donkey carrier if it meant I didn't get injured doing basic stuff!

    I'm a no to the hearing people's thoughts too, not being able to confirm that someone is lying to my face surely makes it easier to believe & go along with their words lol

    That would be awful! Especially since I kinda enjoy the rain (it relaxes me!) Although it may help in my husband being able to read my moods better! If I am quiet and stick to myself, I am probably upset about SOMETHING!

    Very true! Plus, some of this stuff would be better not to even know!

    Awww! Do you know, Disney thought the other sister, the "pretty" one would become all little girls favorites, yet Luisa and Maribel are more popular than the other one!
