You assume you weren't. I obviously can't speak for you, but maybe your "gifts" are merely dormant and you simply haven't chosen to use/develop them.

To give you an analogy, everyone (within reason) has the potential to develop a reasonable (and maybe even an exceptional) amount of muscular strength, however most people simple choose not to and don't put in the effort necessary to become "strong" (I'm talking, "wow, that guy's pretty strong" strong, not "average strength" strong).

Doesn’t mean that reasonable (or exceptional) strength isn’t available to them, they just choose to have an average, more limited amount of strength. Neither option is good or bad, but I do think that average strength is somewhat limiting since decent strength grants you all the advantages of average strength without the disadvantages (ie. you can still be gentle without crushing everything in your path, but now you can pick up heavy stuff without your arms snapping off ).

Maybe you should "hit the gym" and see if you can develop your psychic muscles. There's no need to try to go "professional" or anything and compete in “bodybuilding competitions”, but I think that, like most people who regularly go to the gym to exercise, having a certain level of functional psychic "strength"/ability proves to be useful in everyday life and also serves to improve your experience of life. After all, 6 senses are better then 5.

I enliven people by illuminating their strengths and encouraging them to harness their most fullfilling, energising strengths so that we're all stronger.

Some people say "you're here to shine." If you look closely, you realise you shine already.
