Lock picking. It started when I was a teenager that always forgot my house key. Eventually was able to pick the lock. After that, I figured out how to pick several different types of locks. It's fun!

I'm left-handed, and read that Galileo was left handed and wrote backwards from right to left. I developed that talent and turned in a German paper in high school written backwards from right to left. I told my German teacher to hold it up to a bright light or a mirror, but he was not amused.

I can play by ear on several instruments. My friends can't do it and say it's extremely impressive how I can just hear a song and play it. Most of the time, it's usually close to the right way of playing it if I look up the actual way to play it.

Not a skill I use anymore but... Emotional manipulation.
I can detect people's insecurities just by looking at them. I can make anyone so angry they hit me (or someone else) or break down crying.
On the other end of the spectrum, I can make any angry or emotional person calm.
Nowadays, I use my skill to let other people know when they are being manipulated.

At 6'5 with a lineman's build I can usually walk into most venues without presenting a ticket if I act like I'm supposed to be there. They all just assume I'm one of the bouncers/security. I always have a ticket anyways, but it's a random game my buddies like to play. It helps if I wear a black or yellow shirt.

When I was little my grandmother used to tell me I was empathic. I didn’t understand at the time what that meant. But I do now. It’s like I can feel what other people are going thru in a general matter of speaking. If a friend is going thru a rough time but they are throwing out happy signals left and right… I knew to reach out to them and give them a hug. I guess another term for it is being hypersensitive. I can’t being around negative people because I feel it amplified and it’s awful. Friends say I always know the right thing to say at the right time. I’m not sure how, it just comes natural to me.
The other thing I used to be able to do was smoke a cigarette with my toes.

I can write completely backwards with my left hand, like I start at the right going to left and all the letters are flipped.
I can also do that thing where you mouth a word but when you're closing your mouth from mouthing the word you actually say the word, making it sound like the sound was delayed for a second

3 things. I can read people really well. I can finish their sentences even if they aren’t obvious. I can also detect emotions and find out whether or not I’m being used. Even if i have only known the person for a few days. Secondly, I can make myself “invisible”. I have literally been marked absent to classes multiple times because of it. This one time i was a favorite student and the teacher would always call on me. one day i got sick of it. my mom had to call the school and tell them i wasn’t absent.
Finally, i am a trickster. i can steal and lie and get away with it even if ppl are right there.

I’m I have a parkour talent!!! One day I started to do flips on my trampoline and started to land them and then I got into parkour and I did play a lot of parkour games like Vector and Assassins creed so I learned a lot of parkour moves from those games. So I did some parkour around my nearest city and I just started jumping off of places and rolling and vaulting and I became far from a parkour amateur or beginner!!! Not yet a pro but I just found my hidden talent!

I can touch my right ear with my left hand by reaching around my back. No one else I know can do it.
I can also sing and talk while inhaling the entire time, I don't know anyone who can do that either.

I have an odd ability to find things, especially if the misplaced object is not mine. It might take a minute or two, but most of the time I have found it. I also work lawn care & have accidentally found grown over slabs, irrigation access boxes, all sorts of things.

I’m kind of like a detective. I can use strings of information to form a conclusion that’s usually correct and hard to get to. I can also figure out combinations by looking at keypads whose buttons have the kind of paint that fades over time. I can also lie my way out of every situation
