Okay... Pick your curse from the following semi-flawed super-powers:

Strength 100 times that of a normal human, however only your normal level of precision to use that strength. Essentially the entire world would be made of egg-shells.

Reflexes 100 times that of a normal human, but no ability to regulate that, and no super-speed in your body. So essentially what feels like 1 second to you now would be .01 seconds. You could react to anything, but even carrying on a conversation would be difficult.

Mind reading in a 100' radius, but no "off" switch. Detect the surface thoughts of everyone within 100' of you. No ability to control people or to project your thoughts.

Durability and pain resistance 100 times that of a normal human, but scaled sensations. Essentially getting hit with 100psi of force would only have the effect on you of 1psi. Getting kicked by a normal person wouldn't hurt, but you wouldn't really feel a hug either.

So the question is, if you were going to be cursed, which of the above would you pick (so generally, which would suck the least)?

OOps misread the description. But still Reflexes would be the least horrible.

Durability because it seem to be the least horrible of the above.

No, you can have sex... you'd just not feel it.

Durability really is the least horrible... because even if you're sensation is hardened, you can still have orgasms. You'd just have to train your mind to stimulate that part of your body.

I would pick reflexes. There are some things that could be more useful with higher reflexes, and the downsides are not extremly bad either.

Can I basically be the version with Jedi like abilites?

I'll take mindreading thanks.
Would be pretty useful, as soon as I learn to focus. Seriously, can't be very different to sitting inside a fully occupied school during lunchbreak.

i'd take the mind reading, it seems the only one out of the 4 that it'd be easy to eventually get used to.

I'd pick mind-reading. I'd just drown it out with music.

Mind. I spend most of my time on the internet anyway and there are rarely more then a couple people within 100 ft. of me.

Uber-reflexes for me. It would become very useful in a fight, since I can pretty much react to anything they throw at me.

reflex's for me as well. If I need to carry on a conversation, thats what text messaging is for.

if you have super strength, you can pretty much thrash your opponents.

Yea, but with no precision to control it you'd probably end up killing them.
