Humans are incredible creatures. When we really push ourselves, we can cure diseases, run ultramarathons and create amazing pieces of artwork. But we can't all be exceptional. For some of us, the greatest accomplishment we’ll ever achieve is getting millions of views on a viral video of our most embarrassing moment.

Redditors have recently been sharing unique flexes that they’re too embarrassed to tell others about, so we’ve gathered the most amusing ones below. Enjoy reading through these skills and accomplishments that people are secretly super proud of, and be sure to upvote the ones you find impressive!

30 People Share Flexes They’re Proud Of But Too Embarrassed To Show Off I’m the first one in my family that’s graduating college with honours and got into an honours BA with advanced standing, and who knows might even go ahead and do a masters after.

As a kid who grew up with nothing, then ended up orphaned and in the foster system, I’m proud of myself. 🥹.

To find out more about how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to Reddit user MTC4U, who posed the question, "What is a flex you're proud of but too embarrassed to show off?" MTC4U was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share what inspired him to start this thread.

"I smoked weed daily for like 8 years straight. It was something I wanted to quit because it was starting to affect my productivity, and I wanted to be sharp at my work (I work in the lab at my local hospital)," the OP shared. "I managed to quit a few times for a few weeks, but whenever I got bored or stressed, I just started to smoke it again."

30 People Share Flexes They’re Proud Of But Too Embarrassed To Show Off Between the pandemic and having a second kid, I gained a ton of weight in the last 5 years. A couple months ago I finally started getting semi-serious about losing weight. My goal was to hit 200 lbs by my birthday, down about 15-20 lbs from my max weight.

Yesterday was my birthday, and I weighed 198. I'm proud of the progress, but embarrassed to share because I am still very overweight.

Great job losing weight!! It's a long progress to lose a lot of weight. If anyone makes a stupid comment, you can always hit them with "actually, I've already lost XXlbs".

"Last week, I was one year smoke free and counting! The problem was: nobody even knew I smoked weed! Not my friends nor my family," MTC4U continued. "So even though it was a personal flex to stay off the weed for a full year, I had nobody to share it with."

"So, on the morning of my sobriety anniversary, I looked in the mirror and I kind of nodded to myself and thought: '[heck] yeah I did it!' But then I also wondered if anyone else was proud of something but was unable to share it for some reason," he noted. "That’s why I asked the Redditors if they were willing to share their flexes, so they could get the recognition they deserved or just share their story for fun."

30 People Share Flexes They’re Proud Of But Too Embarrassed To Show Off I can name around 1200 species of plants and trees native to the Appalachian region of Ohio. I've had this skill since I was a pre-teen. I'm incredibly annoying to hike with due to my incessant babble about wildlife.
[I grew up at a summer camp - nature preserve that my parents managed spending the bulk of my time out in the forest with field identification guides.].

We were also curious if the OP had any more unique skills that he's proud of but doesn't necessarily share with everyone. "Well, when I was small kid, I was a fan of Michael Jackson and mind you, this was peak 80’s Michael Jackson (yes I am old now)," he shared with a smile.

"At a young age, I practiced his dance moves meticulously to a point that I could do pretty good impersonation when I was a teen. I’m still capable to bust some moves, and from time to time, I moonwalk through my hospital where I work wearing my lab coat," MTC4U revealed. "The linoleum hospital floor is exceptionally good for this!"

30 People Share Flexes They’re Proud Of But Too Embarrassed To Show Off I entered a pub quiz while on holiday when I was about 10 years old with my family. The prize money was €300 and there were about 30 teams. I won by a margin, and my family didn't answer a single question. My mam and dad still talk about it 20 years later. I have a ridiculously good brain for general knowledge and otherwise useless trivia. At age 29, I was diagnosed with ADHD and it turns out that my hyper focusing on random and "pointless" topics is actually pretty neat.

As far as what the OP thought of the replies to his post, he told Bored Panda he was "baffled by how many people were boasting about their genitals, mainly the male phallus!"

"But the real surprise was that people were willing to share their embarrassing achievement, collection or even body parts thinking that they were probably only a small few. But it turned out that there were many more with similar experiences or interests," MTC4U continued. "[It was nice to see] how well they could relate with each other, and it created sub threads where they were sharing stories and complementing each other."

30 People Share Flexes They’re Proud Of But Too Embarrassed To Show Off I have released a series of moderately successful self published books, paid off my house and car but still go to work every day. My wife doesn't know our mortgage is paid and kids have £25k aside each when they are 18.

Reason - I love working my day job and don't trust her with money. Ridiculous and yet necessary for peace.

"It was also nice to see that people were proud of others and gave them the recognition they deserved," the OP continued. "There was one post about a man whose wife was a neurosurgeon changing people lives for the better, but she didn’t want to get any special recognition for 'just doing her job.'"

"But personally, for me, the best ones were people fighting addiction, depression, and personal barriers," MTC4U added. "Overcoming obstacles and beating their inner demons to achieve something they always desired. It’s inspirational to see how many people are willing to change for the better once they get the proper motivation. Also, single parents taking care of their kids? Absolutely a flex! Huge props!"

30 People Share Flexes They’re Proud Of But Too Embarrassed To Show Off I have a very sensitive nose. I can smell things that others don’t or are not bothered. Embarrassing because, after knowing woman for about two months I can tell they have their period. I can pick out different peoples smell after I know them for a bit. Not something you tell other people.

Humans have an organ in their nose called the VNO: vomeronasal organ. In mammals, the VNO can receive and process pheromone signals, but in humans, the VNO is generally dormant. About 1% of people have a working VNO, and we don't know why. As well, a certain percentage women during pregnancy can experience a "reset" of the VNO that causes it to spontaneously start processing pheromones. People with a working VNO have expressed hypersentivity to smell, or feeling "psychic", suddenly knowing intimate details about other people's bodies, hygiene, or even sexuality. This person may have a working VNO.

I can smell my own. so I'm always really conscious other people can too. but I never smell it on other people, so, they probably can't. I can just smell that my pheremones are different. it's not a hygiene thing, or even FROM the area. the only way I can describe it is that it makes me smell sort of meaty.

My family uses me as a smell tester any time they think something might smell bad but they're not sure. Usually food, but when their elderly cat started peeing outside the litter box they had me go around the entire house sniffing out the places she peed. I can smell cat urine from a mile away. :) There have been plenty of times I wished I didn't have such an amazing sense of smell!

I discovered I can smell some illnesses. Particularly if one of your organs is in bad shape. I have a friend whose whole family have some form of genetic kidney disease and I was never able to spend a lot of time at her house because I can't handle the smell. When I tried explaining it to another friend, he looked at me like I had lost my mind. He never noticed a smell at the friend's house. Unfortunately, it's kind of a useless skill because by the time I can smell something wrong, you're already f*cked.

I have this too. When I was pregnant it turned absolutely overwhelming. I couldn't go anywhere near a garbage can, and I was able to smell the preservatives in factory bread so much more strongly that we couldn't have it in the house. I still can't go into a bread aisle 12 years later without feeling nauseated. *********************************** I can smell flus and stomach bugs up to two days before they start, I can smell periods, and, not just "halitosis" but very specifically halitosis caused by cavities. I cannot comfortably enter nursing homes or assisted living facilities for the sensory overload of everything, but would be interested to learn if I could smell specific diagnoses. When I meet people, I instinctively inhale as I smile with the first greeting (though I think all humans likely do this and just don't notice)

An ex of mine claimed something similar, although I doubt the scope of his ability. It's highly likely he was just smelling blood on pads, as he never really picked up when I was menstruating. Moreover, if his sense of smell was so good, he'd actually have bothered to wash his junk and hands better. I'm a good sniffer, not near the level of the OOP, but better than ex.

I’ve suffered from this all my life, too. 😞 I can smell it when my neighbor masturbates. I once told a girl she had BV - she hadn’t known, was angry, and told me to eff off. I can’t bear to be around people who don’t wipe/wash their bottoms. I don’t think anyone dares cheat on me, because I can smell everything on them, even their coworkers. Recently, my sense of smell has slowly been lessening; my doctor says that as we age, our senses aren’t as good as they used to be. I cannot WAIT! I don’t WANT to know all these things about people! It’s maddening having to shake someone’s hand and I can smell they recently masturbated with it and apparently didn’t wash afterwards. 😰

It’s frilling annoying, especially as I work in a hospital now and there are a lot of unsightly smells…

There is nothing impressive or supernatural about being able to smell when a woman has her period. Period discharge has a distinct smell and if you don't have time to change your tampon or aren't wearing one it will at some point be smell able to yourself and also others.

Finally, MTC4U wanted to encourage others to share their unique flexes. "Please do! There are so many things people achieve in their lives, small, big not knowing the impact it might have on them or others, how embarrassing or insignificant it might be to them," they explained. "It could help others in a similar situation, help find someone to share the burden with or just get a well-deserved compliment. It’s amazing how much an up/down nod or a pat on the shoulder can do for someone!"

I can pick things up relatively quickly, but rather than becoming really good, I become basically proficient. There are a lot of sports where I can get the basics down quickly, but I then plateau. So, I'm good out of the blocks, but people surpass me relatively quickly.

30 People Share Flexes They’re Proud Of But Too Embarrassed To Show Off I can burp louder than a lawnmower.

Edit- yes lawnmowers don't burp, I am referring to the fact I can burp around 96dB, 98 being my all time best (likely not accurate as I really doubt smartphone dB meters count for scientific accuracy). Google reports lawn mowers at about 94dB.
