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

Mine is 3:33 am, unfortunately.

Mine are the same numbers (1:11; 12:12), etc. for the last year or two. I think I am going crazy( I even have people text me at the same-numbered times. I did not tell anyone IRL.

It’s that you take note of it more at these times.

I’m amazing at picking out the food storage container to exactly match the amount of leftovers I am putting away. I did not know this was a gift until I was at my friends house and she was putting away food and picked a container that was too small and a couple of other friends say it always happens to them. And no I’m not always selecting giant containers—it’s usually just right (call me Goldilocks)

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

both my husband and his twin are book spinners.

I dont think I have hidden talents. Maybe the fact that I can do the splits still? I am also a good public speaker (after years of practice/experience), but that's not exactly weird or hidden.

maybe I have a snake sense? at least 5 times i have been on a trail and slowed down, feeling like there was something ahead and there was a snake. also felt uneasy and discovered copperhead in our pool drain. I dont particularly like snakes, either.

I can fall asleep within 3 minutes of closing my eyes. Has proven to be particularly useful when I’m up with my newborn in the middle of the night and am able to go right back to sleep.

I'm also very good at elapsed time. Whether it's walking into the kitchen a few seconds before a timer goes off or it's leaving at just the right time to arrive when I want to, it's a useful skill.
Another skill I have is writing upside down. I'm a teacher and when I have a small group on the other side of a table from me it's very handy to be able to write on a wipe-off board so that it's facing the way the students can read it. The same is true for doing all kinds of math upside down.

If I hear a song (or parts of) I can instantly play it on the piano, forwards or backwards, even if it’s the first time I hear it.

I admire you.

I dated a guy in college who could do this - he'd hear a song once and could sit down at the piano and play it. And he'd had no music lessons. I thought it was the most amazing talent.

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.

for your fast reflexes have they checked your thyroid?

OMG - so jealous ! I am a terrible sleeper despite doing everything recommended by sleep experts.

This truly is a gift,

I can (and do) pick things up with my toes. I thought everyone did that but DH says I’m just weird.

Hmm, I do that, too! I don't think it's weird.

I have flexible joints. Like if my hands are cuffed behind my back, I can twist my arms and shoulders to bring them back over the front side.

I have an excellent visual memory for where in the house random objects are located.
