Is probably one of the less constructive things about this sub. Can we settle this? I'm positive those who believe know very well there's nothing supernatural about them. Not everybody will percieve the benefits as superpowers. Some will.

For me personally, the confidence boost and ability to connect with people borders on magic. Suddenly these abilities appeared seemingly out of the blue without much of an effort. And I have been struggling and trying hard to improve in these areas for years. I was always an outgoing, social, rather popular guy but for years now I have been struggling to connect with others. I tried to fake it til i make it. I really tried to get out of my comfort zone, tried to listen to what people actually say, tried different ways to get closer to people. But nothing really hit home, I never felt like I had meaningful/satisfying relationships. Now, since I quit, I feel like I have made really good friends with more people these last few weeks than I have in a long time. The everyday human interaction is enjoyable again. I feel alive. For me, they are nothing short of superpowers.

In conclusion: Superpowers is a good way to describe how things that were so strangely difficult before, may come so surprisingly easily now. There's nothing supernatural about it. It's not mumbo-jumbo promises, it's a way to describe an experience. The way, and probably to what extent, fapstronauts percieve the benefits may differ.
