Something you're just good at with minimal effort and/or you learned much more quickly than average.

For me, it's paper snowflakes. My brain just seems to effortlessly figure out what cuts to make to the paper wedge to make it turn out exactly how I want it. Largely useless, but good fun and was a much-needed ego boost when I was a kid :]

I can do vocal impressions pretty well. My top hits are Elmo from Sesame Street and an Essex Scouse.

I have perfect pitch meaning I can hear a note and be able to tell you witch note it is and at which octave

Learning names/ correctly guessing how foreign names/words are pronounced

I have a good musical ear, not in the way of perfect pitch but I can find nice chord progressions easily. Could call it musical visualization perhaps?

I'm good at fixing things. It's great for saving money but it's not that I don't like it, I just get tired of having to do it all the time.

I’m a perfect failure. If you hand me anything, no matter how complex or simple, I will fuck it up beyond all chance of repair and you will never figure out how it happened because even I don’t know.

Citation: my life, job, friends, ex-gf, family, hobbies, etc..

I don't believe you.

I don't think I have any natural talent really. Most of my talents come from dedication and grinding my way to getting good. I do think that I might have had some boosts up from natural ability but in general I believe that genetics plays a very small role in what a person can or cannot do.

I’m pretty good at makin stuff that looks cool, good aesthetic instincts I guess I’d say

I'm a quick learner paired with being stubborn enough to keep trying things until I gain success or I'm at least satisfied with my failure.

I have really good hearing and I'm good at guessing pronunciation of people's names in certain languages.

I have fond memories of listening to conversations at the other end of the table at family gatherings. If we're out with a bunch if people, I'll listen to the various conversations.

I can get people to trust me really quickly, genuinely acceptance of others comes easily for me and they can feel it

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

I'm ambidextrous and really good at tech support.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Mathematics, dance, and remembering song lyrics. I passed the first to all of my children and the last to two of them.

Self criticism

I am a maestro at taking out boogers out of my dog's eyes. All of that juicy goodness gone in a single scoop.

Getting wasted
