Here are mine

Speed reading/ fast reading comprehension yet not being a math genius

kindness without a agenda (believe it or not.)

remembering details about people, their likes, dislikes, fears etc

being accused of cheating when I was in school because of my speed reading skills (finishing tests faster than the rest of the class)

Being banned from checking out books at the library due to speed reading making me be accused of being a “book pirater”  (I received a letter in the mail saying I was on a list!)

being denied a prize at the library for the summer reading club because they didn’t believe me that I read that many books during the summer

Figuring out people quickly and reading their true color with reading body language and my expressive eyes giving me away when I don’t like someone

not being intimated by rude, snobby people etc

and not being impressed by flashy, shows of wealth (I am just not impressed.)

Sewing clothes and not using a pattern

knitting without a pattern

the ability to tell when other adults and all children are holding themselves.    It freaks adults out to tell them where the nearest bathroom for them or their children is and they didn’t even ask me!

The ability to remember small details and every conversation word for word and situation exactly how it happened from grade school and up

-sensing when something bad is about to happen and avoiding danger

cleaning up stains

any sporting activity that isn’t a team sport is easy for me

interrogating someone without them knowing it (useless skills most of the time.   It is fun though pretending that after each conversation with a stranger that I have to write a article about them.

it risks men thinking I am flirting (nope, I am married) or in general people think I am in working in sales or something

Or people tell me their life stories easily after meeting me and I feel drained afterwards bearing all it    People who just meet me tell very personal things right off the bat! It is puzzling.   I guess having kind eyes make people feel safe
