What is something you can sense that few-if-any people you know can sense? Literal answers only.

I think maybe I’m sensitive to some bad smells other people don’t get. One time someone was demonstrating to a group (including me) making chocolate and it smelled like vomit to me and I had to leave. The others weren’t bothered.

This might be a personal preference thing rather than a sensing-something-undetectable thing but I’ve always hated the flavour of dairy—can’t stomach dairy milk, dairy cheese, dairy butter, etc. The vegan versions of these things are fine to me though because they don’t have that distinct “dairy” flavour whilst still having the other qualities of the product.

Same with dairy. I never enjoyed a glass of plain milk, and after switching to dairy free options for milk I also found that vegan cream, ice cream, butter etc doesn’t have that “off” subtaste. The difference with non-dairy really highlighted how badly dairy makes me want to rinse my mouth.
