I am an empath (I can read other people’s emotions with a bit of effort) despite having mild Autism and have used this to prevent a few people from taking their own life.
I can also “listen” to entire pieces of classical music in my head in fully orchestrated form with out actually having any music playing, conversely, when actually listening to music I can isolate specific instruments and either tune them out or tune all other instruments out, I used to play Violin/Recorder at school and could just keep to my own part even when in a full orchestra by only listening to the other violins/recorders.

I'm sort of a mimic. Being an only child, when I played with my toys, I learned how to recreate the sounds that they should make, very well. Then, after watching the Police Academy movies, I fell in love with the talent that Jones had of making various everyday sounds. My go-tos are: a baby crying, different bird tweets, a dentist's drill, and impersonating cartoon character's voices. The crying baby always freaks people out for some reason.

I can find 4 leaf clovers like nobody's business. I pressed & laminated over 200 to give to the guests at my wedding. I have probably 500+ pressed in pages of books at home right now. I have found 5, 6 & 7 leaf clovers, too. I can be walking at full speed and stop and pick one. It's like they just pop out at me the way I imagine images of those "magic eyes" books do to people (interestingly enough I have never been able to see those.) Too bad they aren't actually imbued with magical luck or I'd be living the dream. I like to call this my unmarketable skill.

I don't have a photographic memory, but I am an information sponge. I can recall things from as far back as when I was 18 mos old in vivid detail. For example, at Ponderosa on New Year's Eve, 1971, I dumped a glass of coke in my lap. My dad took me to the bathroom and changed me into his undershirt. The shirt was jade colored and had a breast pocket. I can also see the entire spectrum of visible color and can fold my tongue in every direction.

I can lucid dream.
Not every night, and I don’t really get to choose when, but occasionally when I dream I can control who shows up, what I do, where I am, and when the dream ends/I wake up.
Sometimes I enjoy it, and sometimes I don’t, especially because I often dream of big crowds and it exhausts (yes, even though I’m sleeping) me to try and control all those people, so mainly I just leave every one else alone.
That’s it, not all that special. Oh, and 🇺🇦

🇺🇦 I guess the strangest talent I have is befriending babies with ease. I volunteer in a nursery, so this is a useful skill to have as I can get the babies to calm down and allow the parents to go to the church service.
Also most babies love me, including My cousin who literally hates most people, including my brother. Because I befriend babies and intimidate others. How sweet.
Oh, and I can figure out musical pitches by ear and easily play my oboe (managed to get it first try). With figuring out pitches by ear, I’ve been composing music.

I practise origami, the japanese art of folding paper into something without the use of a binder such as tape and glue. You can also have small cuts in the paper fpr example with Senbazuru, which can be in the form of kissing cranes. I dont know if this counts as unique but it really helps me and i wish i started a few years younger it would have made that period of my life easier by far! Please try it out and start with something easier than Crane and build up to that model its very useful. I also learn the piano but im pretty bad at that. Drawing sometimes helps me when i feel really bad at origami/ like it isnt a good talent but i like it at the moment!

I am a true phenomenon undoing knots of all kinds.
When, long ago, I went fishing with my friends, I spent more time undoing their fishing lines than doing anything else. Instead, he was really bad at TAKING knots. Usually, they did it to me.
Now, my wife and my daughters always look for me when they have a knot in their bracelets, chains, necklaces, etc.
And I enjoy undoing them, it relaxes me.

I'm pretty sure I've chimed in on this before, but ... I can roll up hills. You know how, when you were a kid, and you'd roll down hills by making yourself as cylindrical as possible? Of course, you could never roll straight down because of the width of your shoulders; you'd end up askew at the bottom of the hill. Well, I never would have thought of this if I hadn't been with my son, who was 4 at the time, but I just decided to try it, and it was amazingly easy! I think most people could probably do it. I don't know if I can still do it; that was 30 years ago. I don't know if being extremely good at puzzles counts as a superpower, but being 60 and able to see close up certainly does.

I am a Spiritualist medium - I demonstrate clairvoyance, and to a lesser extent, clairaudience and clairsentience in public to bring messages from Spirit. (Scoff if you like but ignorance has never stopped people from having an opinion). Similar gifts are distributed through my family but I am the only one who trained. Probably unrelated, I always know the time to within 5-10 minutes, even in the night. Also, I can track duration accurately. Developed this in my teaching days. I always know where north is and I never get lost.

My odd and useless talent is I can say the alphabet backwards quicker than most people can say it forward. I can also sing it backwards to the alphabet song. Also, I am a lyricist and I can write lyrics at the drop of a dime about anything. Lastly, I am also a spiritual empath and I have recently deceased people come through me to help me write their memorial poems. It's mostly recently passed relatives, but they always tell me stuff I had no way of knowing. On those occasions, I can't even write fast enough to get the words on paper. And yes I still hand write everything.
