And invite you to join me?
What are you brilliant at, nothing is too trivial.
What can you do exceptionally well?

I make very good gravy! Don't know why because my cooking isn't good but my gravy and sauces always come out well Confused

At seeing both sides of people's sides. And or understanding why some one did something.

Really empathetic, to the point it can hurt and drain me.

Can get 7 babies from the age 6 months to 2 asleep at the same time.
12 if you included singing to those in a crib.

High level of empathy, almost like I can read emotions, and also feel others pain which is not so good.
Have excellent memory for programmes/movies i’ve seen and books i’ve read; lasts years!
Also, most usefully, am excellent at removing wood splinters painlessly. 😊

Today I've been told I'm a great friend. Really nice to hear.
I'm consistently shit at relationships, that a real skill!
I've got an amazing outer facade, very few people know I'm paddling like a swan underneath.
I make fantastic cakes.
I'm a really accomplished cook.
I know and retain random useless information, some of which has come up in pub quizzes.
I can eat a whole box of fondant fancies in one sitting (yeah I know....)

I can do an excellent quick Brazilian Wax, clean as a whistle and you won't even know it's been done :)
It's my super power!

I’m really good at draping a Saree although there isn’t an ounce of Indian blood in me. Pleats to die for.

Make a meal out of a bare fridge.

@MsSquiz PLEASE share your roasties recipe!

If I hear a coin fall on a hard surface, I know without looking which coin it is.
I can only do this for sterling, but I learned the new pound sound quickly enough so I could learn other currency sounds if necessary.
Again, a niche skill, but I love hearing strangers drop coins accidentally, calling out the coin quietly under my breath without looking, then sneaking a glance to check I'm right.
I should get out more!

@Purplealienpuke
You sound like me, except exchange fondont fanvg for wine

IJustLostTheGame · 19/11/2018 22:33

I can put my foot behind my head

Purplealienpuke · 19/11/2018 23:04

Umbongointhejungle mine used to be wine, or any other alcoholic beverage.
I find I can still remember after 8 fondant fancies but not so much 8 glasses/bottles/shots etc.
The guilt is the same though...

shalda · 19/11/2018 23:18

I'm left and right handed.

And I have perfectly shaped lips. Perfect. And I'm not apologising.
My lips have been used as a template for fillers (lol)

shalda · 19/11/2018 23:22

Oh! And I have regular orgasms in my sleep.

Who needs a man?!

I can look at someone and be able to feel what their muscles are doing. Came in bery handy as a ski instructor. People would ski down to me and I could tell them if they’d had their toes clenched in their boots for example. Could also then kind of map my body to their’s, which made me an ace partner for synchronised ski displays.

thighofrelief · 19/11/2018 23:51

june i have spooky memory syndrome too. I have to hide it or seem like a weird stalker. I'm not interested in the person, i just can't forget. My hairdresser is the same and we confessed to each other that we often pretend to forget things.

thighofrelief · 19/11/2018 23:54

I can cook eggs absolutely perfectly to any specification.

I'm also exceptionally stoic and rarely am not completely calm.

Pondock · 19/11/2018 23:59

I always know the time within a ten minute window. Even when waking up in the middle of the night. Even when just arriving in a different time zone. I can also wake up ten minutes before my alarm goes off....however early its set for.

ChooChooBeanz · 19/11/2018 23:59

I am, like, the best sleeper in the world. I’m out almost the second my head hits the pillow.

I am great at procrastinating

I am very empathetic

I am very good at maths (I beat a maths graduate in a maths test once at post graduate level, I hadn’t done it from GCSE)

I am good at arts & crafts

I am very good at makeup

Thank you, I feel a lot better about myself now xx

If only i had the penis estimation skill mentioned by a PP.........I have had so many disappointments in that department.

I'm an amazing singer. Awkward to say, but I am. I've always been good, have sung since I can remember and have been told I sound somewhere between adele and Amy winehouse. It's my 'thing' I guess. I'm always asked to sing in groups, at parties, weddings, etc. Used to be in a soul band as a lead singer. Stopped when I had the children.

Also got a very good sense of smell, and am witty too. Often have my friends and family in stitches.

I am useless at public speaking however and my memory is shocking. It's become a running joke in my family, I forget EVERYTHING. Sad in a way as I dont remember much of my childhood just big moments or things u found scary or poignant in some way.

Hope that didnt sound too braggy Blush

Getting the most out of psychedelic experiences.

I can type accurately at 110-120 words per minute.

I can do a great monkey impression. My kids get me to do it at the zoo and the monkeys run toward me

manicmij · 20/11/2018 01:12

Excellent at untangling large balls of messed up yarn.
