If there is one thing we are born to do, what is yours? I have no idea, what mine is.

Get on with people, I can usually find something about them that they like talking about. I’m adaptable so can fit into lots of situations.

The only problem comes if I remind them of someone else they’ve had an issue with so I’m working against their instinct.

I’ve been good in roles working with the public.

Apparently I am very pithy.

I'm a super-recognizer. Yet to be approached by counterintelligence services to help them for a healthy five figure salary.

Spelling
Learning languages
Explaining grammar to people who find it scary and difficult (which is why I'm a language teacher)

Therapy. I'm very good at getting people to come to realisations about themselves and the way they navigate life.

Also- unblocking toilets. I can unblock any toilet within 2 mins.

Writing.

I have no idea other than being a mum. That's really sad, isn't it?

I have things I love doing but I always go a bit mad and then hit a lull before I get the enthusiasm to start again.

Caring for people who are desperate and at the end of their ability to cope. Particularly people who are very mentally ill.

Supporting people to recover gives me life and drive like nothing else.

Be a mother.

Absolutely not!

Mine - apart from my job - is probably listening. I'm quite empathetic and get 'vibes' when people aren't feeling themselves so ask if they're ok and if they want to talk to me about anything. They usually do. I must also have one of those faces because complete strangers have a tendency to tell me their life story in the first five minutes Grin.
