What are you f*cking good at that you'd never say but are secretly proud of?

[Iwonder777]

For me, it's putting people at ease.

I've not got the best self esteem but by goodness I'm authentic.

What are you good at - even if you'd never let on!

Driving
Parking
Spelling
Talking
Making people laugh
Upsetting people
Forgetting something when I do a food shop

Spotting subtle errors in hair/costume in period dramas.
Meringues.
Coming up with a terrible pun for any occasion.
I am proud of all of the above.

@CremeEggThief ooh people comment on my handwriting but I have to have The Right Pen.

I'm good at cooking but rubbish at baking.

I have a really good eye for colours and shades of colours. I'd love to do interior design.

Reading people and knowing what they want just by body language.
I can plan ahead without meaning to for example the other day I cleared off my car seat in case someone needed a lift, I rarely need to give people a lift but later that day I had to give a lift to a colleague who needed to dash to hospital for a relative.

Stacking the dishwasher. I will get it all in and it will all come out clean (not coated with gook because some things were nestled inside other things).
Finding lost stuff, however unlikely.
Stopping babies and toddlers from crying.
Making tasty meals when it seems like there’s no food in.

I am great at getting stains out of clothing.

Putting other people's babies to sleep (didn't work on my own)
Ordering the very best thing on the menu
Hosting people
Coming up with amazingly witty retorts three hours after they were needed.

Typing really, really fast and accurately

My job.

Single handedly assembling ikea furniture, no matter how many people it claims are needed to assemble it

Knowing exactly what my dc are looking for by their very vague description and then finding it straight away (dh is in awe of me! )

thats cake btw

Another natural proofreader here
I'm also pretty good at making curries that taste as though they've come from a takeaway
My Amazon shopping skills are mighty

Reading people . Sounds basic, but it's an art.
So many people wear a mask, I can always see it. Apparently I'm 'weirdly reassuring' and people tell me everything about themselves, even relative strangers. 🤷‍♂️

Making guacamole.
And animal portraits

Oh, and knowing the precise location of every single thing in the house. Everything. It's like there's a map in my brain. Most useful thing ever.

(also ots of other things on this thread that have already been mentioned)

Assembling flat pack furniture
Making a white sauce from scratch by eye without measuring ingredients
Teacher voice
Teacher look
Being militarily organised, people say ‘I don’t know how you do it’ and I think ‘I plan the fuck out of it, run myself ragged and drink gin when I eventually get home’ but say ‘tinkly laugh’

@swapsicles are you me 😂

Back stroke.... you’d never know it to look at me

I'm good at being my family technical support even at stupid o'clock when my grandad can't get his sound bar to work (he's 80) so he can catch up on country file

Any also according to my DP google as I get asked questions that a Albert Einstein couldn't bloody answer

Untying tricky knots - from shoe laces, ropes and string to necklaces that have got all knotted in luggage/transit.

I'm good at editing/proofreading. Oh, and being honest in tricky situations- I am secretly proud of my shit-sandwich skills.

@HelenaJustina teacher voice, teacher look, military planning... gin? have I found my soul mate?
Can't do flat pack furniture though, the instructions make me literally go cross eyed

Making clothes. I don't need a pattern.
Grandma was a tailoress for the very rich and famous and taught me everything she knew.

She'd be a shit hot fashion designer in today's money.

Learning ny computer program. I just open it and can figure out how to do whatever I want to do easily.
