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

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

NP and I have vivid recall. Complete conversations, your word choices, what you were wearing, how I felt. I’ll even remember your name and any details you shared with me. If we talk more than a few minutes, I’m looking for connections and commonalities.

I like to say I use this for good - I have written poignant tribute letters of remembrance to grieving family and friends and all have been grateful for my insights and memories and stories.

I also love to re-tell stories from growing up and am now at the age where my childhood friends ask ME to fill in details for them- if I was there, I remember.

I’m an outstanding, careful and active listener. People tell me everything - even strangers.

Downside: I have a hard time forgiving because I can’t forget!

I am also good at mirror reading, reading upside down text or upside down and reversed text.

Song lyrics. My head is filled to the brim with them. Not a source of revenue sadly.

You’re last words as you’re family leans in…

I have some crazy fast reflexes. Doctors have commented on it. If I accidentally drop something, I can always catch it in time and avoid it hitting the ground.

I always know what time it is. I can also always wake up on a plane or train at the perfect time when it is about time to depart.

I have a sixth sense. I know when other spirits are still around. For instance, I can be in a park and sense something terrible happened there and need to leave. And then realize afterwards by online research that it was the site of a mass burial ground where paupers and those who were unclaimed were laid to rest, and that an unsolved murder happened there as well.

I have also been able to sense departed spirits communicating with me. For example, I had never met a friend's sibling but knew they had died. I was in a place that I had never been to before and I could sense their presence and that they wanted me to tell their sibling that they were okay. Later I realized that I was in a place that had been special to them.

I recently read a novel with a line of female characters in a family who had this trait.

I’ve seen this done and it’s the coolest thing.

Same. I identify songs I hear from the first bar played. Comes in handy for radio contests and have won tickets this way.

When I’m checking out at Costco, I can usually guess the total to within 5-10 dollars. I usually spend 300-1000 dollars when I go, I don’t do any sort of internal calculations while I’m there shopping, I just look at the conveyor belt and think, oh, that looks to be about $816 dollars.
This extreme talent of mine does not carry over to the regular grocery store 😂

I have this, too! I play a fun game with my teens where they play a song and see if I can sing along. I've stayed up to date with most music genres and they cringe when I can rap along with Kenrick Lamar and Doechii. I can also sing Kenny Rogers songs, lol.

I can spin any book on my finger from phone book to pocket note pad. Anything square and I can spin it.

Me too. I'm half celebrity/ half hated at reunions.

I’m really good at catching birds that have flown inside a building. I’ve caught birds in screened porches, houses, garages, an airport, a library, and a gas station. Once, I was walking past a bookstore in downtown ny, and I saw a bird in the window. I went in and offered to catch it. The employees told me that it had been inside for 3 days and no one could catch it. Animal control had been called and never came. I caught it with a shopping bag and the employees cheered as I released it outside.
