I don't think this community is based on proving that our powers exist, because we know this, and I don't care if someone else doesn't know this. It's quite obvious when you experience it. I think we might go into exactly how, but I don't think we need to prove ourselves on everything because we're already aware, but rather focus on advancing ourselves. We don't need to bother with someone asking if we're real, because we know we are. We've proven it to ourselves and don't have to prove it to random strangers, and just because you haven't met anyone doesn't mean they don't exist. That's like not believing in asexuals purely because you've never met one, then going off and telling them to prove they don't experience sexual attraction. We don't need to prove our existance to the likes of you, so please stop bothering us and being a total anus. Maybe bring up the interest of proving ourselves, but not as a way to invalidate us because we haven't. Frankly, I don't want everyone at the grocery market that I don't know knowing I can create storms because I proved it. I dont't want that kind of negative attention that I would most definitely get. Please just think before you speak, it's not all fun and games to be different. I don't want people to view me as a mythical creature. We're not unicorns, we're people, but we might not be seen as that if we proved ourselves to everyone. It's a personal choice to "prove" yourself or not. I've proved myself to my sister and two close friends. I'm fine with that, but I'm not even able to set proof up online without showing myself and exposing who I am and then potentially getting death threats, and stalkers, and people staring at me in the street and talking shit about me or looking at me like, as I said before, a mythical creature. I don't think it's worth it to me. - Kai
