Mine:
I have a slight high IQ of 124. Means nothing lol!
I also spoke very very early. But tbf I walked very very late.
I’m also slightly above average at drawing.
And I’m a weirdly good guesser.
what are your meaningless things that you slightly excel in?

I am good at memorizing poetry. I probably have more poems memorized in more languages than most people. It has come in handy very rarely. I mostly just boast about it on Reddit.

I can simplify things to explain how something works. I'm older and know a little bit about using computer programs. Something as simple as adding a new profile picture confuses some people I know or change the background on a photo. Instead of using the correct words, I point out the buttons they should use. After I show them the buttons and them getting it , I start to use the proper words.

I'm slightly above average at remembering random movie quotes and using them everyday conversations. Definitely not a life skill, but it's fun!

I can do simple math estimates in my head very rapidly.
Like if someone says “man, the price of eggs went from 3.34 to 4.12 in the last week” I can almost immediately say “damn that’s like 25% higher.”
Not very useful but people think I’m some sort of wizard sometimes 😂

I'm pretty great at managing chaotic situations without losing my cool in the moment. This is a learned skill that came from growing up with a parent with tons of medical issues. That really helps to develop emotional control and the ability to act decisively and efficiently when it's required.
I'm also absolutely fine around blood, recent surgical wounds, pus, vomit, etc. Gore just doesn't affect me. (Oddly enough boogers and snot do gross me out, but her nose was one of my mom's only body parts without problems.)

I've fished and fly fished with a lot of people, only 2 of them catch more fish than me on a consistent basis.
Calling movie twists.
I've played piano for 20 years ornso but only briefly took lessons, never learned howntonread music well. My technical ability is surpassed by most 8th graders who take real lessons, but I'm a pretty damn good improvisor and backing musician for songwriters.

I'm alright at knowing what year movies came out, especially early 2000s/2010s. Can usually remember which auditorium it played in or I was watching a movie in. Helps I work at a movie theatre lol

I’m really good at knowing what time it is/how long has passed without checking a clock. Usually within a minute if not exactly right. Has never benefitted me in any way at all

I’m horrible at math, and didn’t excel in school, but as it turns out I’m also a really good guesser haha random things though, like ages, dates, things like that.

I used to be good at drawing. Still like art and being creative. I read really fast apparently? I never really thought about it but other people have remarked about it.

I’m pretty good at playing most instruments/songs by ear(not including wind/brass)
I can do most crafty hobbies that don’t require a lot of wrist dexterity
I have an *AMAZING* sense of direction and can find my way back to a familiar place/a location I’ve only been to once very easily. Landmarks are my best friend lol
I have “mom brain” and can find *almost* anything someone in the house has misplaced. Drives people insane
I have long arms and always get asked to reach things that people taller than me can’t reach. So liberating lol
I’m great at memorizing phone numbers and long, randomized passwords but I can’t remember what I just put in my pocket or opened my mouth to say

I have a photographic memory much mkre common than people realize.
can come in varying degrees.
Means that I can remember an image exactly how it was, zoom in, look around and remember near everything in it ..I found out one day when I was trying to find something and I couldn't remember the surroundings. I saw the object, how it was laid out . But not what or where it was.. it scared me. I had a panic attack, but found it ..and I had the pieced picture togeather .. then I realized, I might have photographic memory. I didn't think much of it before then ..it was always just how it was ..

i can usually tell if music is being played in a different key than in the original. i couldn't tell you what notes they were playing by ear alone, but i can definitely assure you they should be using a different set of notes

Speed reading. It was handy in school. Read text once for the big picture, again to look for answers or points to write about. A third time before a test to remember the information.
