Anybody else experience noticing little details that a lot of people overlook? Can see qualities or flaws others don't even think of?

Update:

What does it mean to be noticing more details? Like in movies I can notice more things both good and bad about the quality of a movie especially if it's the second time watching it even if it's been a looooooooooong time like over a year and I'll suddenly remember little details I missed.

Same with books and going to places in real life.

I just notice tiny details that others would go "I didn't think of that" though most of the time I annoy people up the wall for it.

Update 2:

No flames please! Flamers you have 10 seconds to get the hell off my property with you're brains intact! *pumps the Yahoo Answers gun which has the words *bang* come out of it in a little red flag*

    Yeah not to make you sound stupid, it's called growing up. As our brains develop and we challenge ourselves more mentally everyday we start to notice things more, it's called insight. For example you may or may not have experienced seeing someone in a different light that's older than you, like you understand them better than just some adult, you think of them as human. That is insight.

    You probably have what's called an Eidetic memory. Some people are just programmed to be more observant than others and you're one of the lucky ones who has the hardware to put that to full use.

    Source(s): I'm the same exact way, noticing can be very distracting actually, and it can be quite annoying when I'm the only one that remembers things that clearly.
