What’s a weird, totally hidden or undefinable talent you have?

[Anonymous]

I can have a 30 minute conversation with somebody and tell them exactly what they need to do to get their life in order. But most my conversations with people are more than 30 minutes, so imagine everything that I figure out about a person once I’ve known them for awhile.

Half the people love this trait about me and half the people despise it.

When my friends and acquaintances need help they come to me. I know more things about more people than I care to know. I’m very good at keeping a secret.

Because I have this ability, I spend most my time with people trying to completely ignoring all the signs because if I read all of them, I might not be able to be friends with anybody.

My husband also has this trait, but he never turns it off and he’s not friends with anybody.

I do this too except it's 9:19 and that's my birthday! My DH even notices this.

Memories. I recall conversations and what a person told me from ten years or more ago.

Me too. Always 9:11, morning or night.
My friend has 7:41, and I'm also beginning to notice 9:41.

12:34 for me too. The number sequence and also the exact time my 1st kid was born.

Do you tell people you have this ability? I think I’d be scared to talk to you.

My toes are as dexterous as fingers. It used to disturb my mom so I keep the ability u see wraps now.

My weird talent: If I set a kitchen timer, I will start walking to the kitchen within seconds of it going off. Whether it is for 6 minutes, 16 minutes, or 60 minutes, I will be walking into the kitchen to turn it off and take care of the task within 20 seconds of the timer going off. It’s uncanny.

So, OP, this is weird, because when I saw this thread's title I clicked on it to describe my talent - which is exactly the same as yours.

I also have an internal timer. Maybe it's not as rare as we thought?

Another good internal clock here. I wish I could trade it for a good sense of direction.

Same. Even in the middle of the night.

If I wake up in the middle of the night, I can just “feel” what time it is. I’m usually within 10 minutes of the actual time, often closer.

I am phenomenal at impersonating people (not in a mean way, but in an accurate way). I have heard this my whole life. I have a way of depicting very specific mannerisms that most people wouldn’t notice in a way that is uncanny.

That that’s very common and it’s called Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

Weird coincidence here but I’m an outstanding bullshit detector

I have this too, but it leads me to constantly replaying awful conversations in my head…

This is just called opinionated

Also, I have this totally useless spacial memory and can remember exactly where I was sitting in restaurants decades ago and even longer ago in elementary school classrooms. This talent in no way extends to remembering where I put my phone or keys 10 minutes ago, however.

Ditto!! Though sometimes I can picture where I was when I last had them and that helps.
