Goosebumps.

https://news.northeastern.edu/2018/07/30/the-curious-case-of-the-people-who-can-control-their-goosebumps/

I thought everyone can do this but apparently not. I have been able to do this easily my whole life and even have it happen when I don't want it, listening to something corny I disagree with and I have to control it not happening. I can will it easily just doing nothing, repeatedly with just a few seconds to recharge.

My mother can't and she's also a super bitch. (sorry mother, love ya but you are). She's unable to feel music or anything uplifting. She's also a hardcore liberal. So, I'm wondering if there's a correlation but seeing most of the population can't do it, maybe there's not. Idk, can you do it?

No I cannot. I can move my eyebrows at will (which apparently some people can't) and I can flare my nostril at will (without breathing in or scrunching my face). I can also move my dick up and down, which my wife seems to enjoy A LOT.

Out of all of those only the dick has ever proved useful in life. Has your super power ever been useful?

Idk yet. Perhaps it's good to weed out liars and psychopaths.

I can dilate my pupils at will by inducing copious amounts of adrenalin.

Haha. I can flare my nostrils and wiggle my ears. Raising individual eyebrows and switching is tough though.
