The answer to that question is only in the mind of the answerer. Some people will consider enhanced perception to be a gift because of the extended experiences that it brings. Others would consider it a curse because of the added burden of determining how to use this ability.
With each skill or ability comes a responsibility. Those who are able to "see the supernatural things" have an ability to do something that most other people are not able to do. With this ability comes the burden of deciding how to use those skills. Most people don't have to make this decision because they don't have these abilities, and so, people with these skills have to consider more about the world than most other people. Some people may consider that a curse.
On the other hand, somebody who has enhanced perception will have the opportunity to experience things that most other people cannot ever experience. This can be considered a gift.
If an individual is able to accept the responsibility that comes with the enhanced abilities, those abilities are a gift.

I personally think it is a gift. Whoever did this to you oviously wanted someone to help them or make the world a better place. You don't know how many people out there wish they could see supernatural things. I really hope this helps you.

it is a paradox. both a blessing and a burden. it is wonderful if the gifts are used for the greater good of all, but, a burden when it is not able to be turned off and on. those without that capability can go nuts.

It's an unfortunate state of affairs no matter how you look at it. Think of all the fun and interesting things you could do with your time and energy down here on planet Earth, if you didn't believe in magic.

A curse if your scared of it a gift if you are unafraid & help others with your gift.

I would say that seeing imaginary things is a curse, not a gift. Being prone to power of suggestion is not a gift either, but a weakness.

I guess it all depends on that persons ability to use it and how that person uses it

I say it's both and neither. I would say it is a normal human ability just like love can both hurt like hell and bring you untold joy. Like all human abilities some people are better at it than others.

both, and un-nerving as well. Not something you want to deal with everyday.
