Play a sport really well? Musical? Art? Really excel at something some people don't "get"?

I can cluck like a chicken. I have won contests with the powers of my cluck. Other than that I am the definition of average.

I can solve a Rubik's cube in a minute. It's my geeky party trick.

I'm the only one who can calm down my daughter. She gets really anxious sometimes, and either gets a little hysterical or has wicked bad insomnia. Even over the phone I can get her to relax. She's been like that since she was a baby, so I've had a lot of practice. Every once in a while her boyfriend texts me to call her  Other than that, I read a whole lot and am good at my job. Nothing terribly exciting. |

I bend my arms a weird way that freaks people out. I didn't even know most other people can't do this until I was in high school. I usually forget I do it until I meet someone new and at some point they notice.

Nope.
Although, most of my friends like it when I bake. I don't think I do it particularly well, but it makes them happy.

When I sit on the floor or ground I always tuck my legs back so that my ankles are touching my hips. People find this amazing but I've always sat that way.

I can pack items into spaces no one believes will fit. Cars, boxes, suitcases...anything. My husband finally stopped arguing with me about it and now just moves things around as I ask and looks at me in awe when everything fits   Tetris for adults! |

Yes, and it's weird but valuable--my patients almost never coded and died. One did, but one in 15 years on the cardiac floor is pretty unique. Three codes total, only one died, and one other patient died but he was expected to die and was aDNR. I think I'm best at heading it off at the pass.
Now I work in an office and no one cares about this unique talent of mine. I actually think I'm just a good luck talisman. I'm also exceptional at finding four leaf clovers--I've found more than anyone I know. It's probably connected cosmicly! Cosmically?

I can spend money like nobody's business is that a talent?
Other than that I can speak foreign languages. I would say it's a talent.

Is that like sitting in a W, akathy? Yes I teach preschool and they are forever sitting in a W. Teachers were always told to correct this and tell them to sit cross-legged or cross cross applesauce. Well, we had a workshop this summer from a behavioral therapist. Turns out her opinion is children who choose to sit in a W are a little off balanced in their world and this position rights their world. Interesting? |

I am an excellent paper crafter. Scrapbooking, card-making and gift-wrapping.

My DD used to sit like this until a good friend PT explained the hip strain and impact W sitting has on core trunk strength. I guess if akathy made it this far without problems, you can keep sitting that way  . how W sitting affects muscles and joints
The closest I have to a unique talent is a very strong internal GPS. It doesn't get tested as much now with a real GPS in the car/phone but my navigation skills and ability to get us where we need to go is pretty strong. |

I have perfect pitch. And could play the piano at age 5 before I had lessons.

I sleep with my eyes open. Used to freak kids out at sleepovers when I was a kid. Freaked my college roommate too. I consider it a talent I'd prefer to live without. Lol.

I can play the harmonica and can play street beats on the drums. My brothers were in marching band and I learned all their parts.
