ESP?

For the past two years I have had instances in which I had become very fascinated with my ability to do what I find unexplainable mental abilities. I thought it was ESP (extra-sensory perception; psychic) or something. Although I don’t believe in psychics, I am open to the possibility in which psychics could exist. A reason I am fascinated with what I perceive is abnormal psycho-behavior is because for the past two years I had become really good with puzzles. Every time family friends would invite me for dinner, they would have another 500 to 1000 piece puzzle I would be interested in putting together. Although puzzles at their house could last me until 12 o’clock at night, I would eventually finish them. More than often I would put together an entire puzzle alone; however, occasionally or temporarily others would join in to help me. In addition, I treasured the silent time together with the family putting together a puzzle. However, it is not my ability to put puzzles together that fascinates me, it’s the speed it would take for me to put the puzzle together. To me it feels like a person could have put together a single piece and I would have had about four or five pieces already put together. Some members found it entertaining to watch as I would instantly place certain pieces together. It was as if I already knew where to place pieces. The shapes and colors would make sense and I would almost instantaneously snap them into place. Nevertheless, it could be because the rate at which I’m putting pieces together could be because I’m thinking very quickly as if in a competition. Moving on, it’s not only my own speed that fascinates me, it’s also my ability to come up with accurate thoughts. For example, there were some instances in which I thought things and came to find they were true, such as the feeling of a friend not feeling well or thinking if someone arrived at my house and becoming surprised when someone had actually arrived at my house. I took some time to deeply examining how his was possible; therefore, I would like to immaturely hypothesize and suggest that I believe the ability to be psychic would perhaps come from the extent of unfamiliarized imagination. If I may clarify, I would like to state that I believe the ability to be psychic would be as if using one’s imagination, but using their imagination in such a way to which one does not feel like it’s something they wouldn't usually think up. If I may state this hypothesis differently, imagine thinking of an idea, but distinguishing this idea that is not something you would normally imagine. I think this is what could be the ability of being psychic. Such a suggestion would mean that one would have to distinguish their imagination from the possibility that one’s imagination is being created by something other. Perhaps some believers would argue being psychic is more of a feeling or some sort of intellectual insight or spiritual power. I have yet to see proof. Nevertheless, even though it’s a crazy hypothesis, it wouldn't be worth sharing if I didn’t find it so lucrative and personal. In conclusion, this is what I have experienced which led me to come up with the hypothesis of what I perceive could be ESP.
