Ive been told before everyone has one just may not have discovered it yet.

Honestly, I dont think I have. Im okay at somethings but havent really got anything I excel at.

Do you have a talent, please share

I'm incredibly good at loading the dishwasher and I can parallel park very quickly in tiny spaces and eat yoghurt for England

Five years ago I discovered I can paint. Now I have work in several galleries and a decent following on social media. It's a joy.

Procrastinating

Procrastinating and also pressing the snooze button on two separate alarms every nine minutes for 2-3 hours before waking up properly.

I cannot believe I'm saying this but I can sing very well. I'm good at lifting heavy things too (through weight training, which can look comical because I look too petite for it), I have a very good photographic memory. I'm really glad you didn't ask which things we are really shit at.

That's a good one!

Learning new things - but then forgetting them.
I have a ridiculously high IQ but I also suspect ADHD so want to do everything but can stick with nothing. My list of qualifications is actually embarrassing.
it’s quite a talent though. 😆

I play piano really well but that's more of a skill I honed through hard work, I wouldn't describe myself as naturally talented. My actual talent is untying knots. I'm amazing at untangling mangled piles of cables, Christmas lights etc. I come over all methodical and I secretly get great joy out of it.

I can sign. I took exams when I was younger and achieved quite a lot. Then something knocked my confidence. And I stopped. Been with DH 19 years this year. He's heard me sing in the shower and car and stuff but not properly. I just can't bring myself to now and I've made it a massive deal (of my own making 🫣)

FFS. Sing not sign. Oh for an edit button!

Although I did want to learn sign language and was told there was no point unless you used it every day 🙄

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 19/01/2023 22:29

Snark and sarcasm, if there were awards I could win them.

Brighteyedtriangle · 20/01/2023 07:13

I like the knot one. This would be handy for tangled necklaces.

Thinking about it I am actually good at finding things on the floor. If someone loses something at a festival its always me that spots it. Can I count that 😂
