Suppose you live in a world where each person develops a unique power based on their personality. What would yould power be?

Remember, this is not about having the most useful or strong super-power, but one which you feel like it would be a natural part of yourself ;)

My most accurate ability would be for me to be able to fall asleep to heal off all damage, like the move Rest in Pokemon.

Let's make it OP by saying that if I were to die, I would instead go into an invulnerable stasis for the appropriate amount of damage done, until I heal and wake up.

Hmmm, I'm not sure how to translate "lazy procrastinator with heaps of useless information" into a super power. :P
Time manipulation, perhaps? "Put things off until later" by stopping time?

Or maybe the feeling when you accomplish loads of work in short periods of time by slowing it down?

I guess if you want to focus on a more inter-personal personality trait, it would be something akin to beserking? (i.e. The tendency to be easygoing and apathetic about things, then suddenly either get super into/super against the thing in question)

Loyalty?

I love the idea of personality based superpowers, (especially since it's such a cultural mainstream) but I feel as though it's really hard to both quantify one's individual personality traits, and also decide which one is dominant enough to warrant a power based on it. (not to mention trying to find a power that fits it.)

I would have a super human sense of direction! Otherwise I'm mostly a bit rubbish. I guess I'm pretty good at organising stuff, when I can be bothered.

It doesn't have to be a personality trait manifested into a super-power, it can be simply a power that you like for personal reasons. It's really a question of what power would you like to have, but I resist putting it that way because I don't want answers to focus on which power would be more convenient. Rather, I'd like everyone to imagining the power that would give them the strongest sense of affinity.

For instance, I would like to have the power to summon visual and auditory illusions in a limited radius around me. I'm not sure that I can give any reason, really, I just feel like that.

All I'd really want right now would be the power of not getting disheartened when I don't understand something at first. With that I'd be able to concentrate better and learn more.

I don't think I could pick just one thing. It'd have to be a set of multiple powers for me. I also don't think I'd even need any 'powers' anyway, I'd have sorted that out by myself!

My power would be sucking out the negativity or sadness from others into myself. Or some power of pessimism. I could believe things are going to go bad so well they actually do go poorly!

That's not a power at all! And that happens in real life too!

In that case, I'm going to stand by the time manipulation power- I can always use more time. XD

I think I'd like an affinity for living things. Like, an empathic sense of sorts for plants, animals, and humans? Possibly strong enough to help plants grow and communicate with animals, but because humans have strong wills, only enough to understand them very well.

Empathic bonds, perhaps? Or...

Would make some good comic stories (in fact I bet it's already been done but I don't know enough about comics to be sure)

I think there's a story about someone who can take the wounds of another onto themself, healing the first in the process. I just can't remember the name...
