Sometimes it is good to boast about yourself!
 
Sometimes people frown upon people who brag about themselves a lot but we won't be in this thread! I'd like to get to know some of you guy's best traits or qualities 8) What are some of the things you guys know you are really good and talented at?

I don't have too many skills but there's a few I've been making some progress on picking up...my photoshop skills are much better than they were a year ago, and I think my writing skills are decent also c:

I'm good at trolling people, not in a malicious way though but more of blasting away their expectations and giving them a SURPRISE.

I'm also good at adding UNNECESSARY CAPITALIZATION on my sentences because I'm such a big FAN of Frank MILLER, whose work after the DARK KNIGHT RETURNS just went spiraling DOWN the stains of BAD. You know Holy TERROR? Actually no, Screw Frank Miller. I'm better at being edgier than he will ever be.

I'm good at flooding posts with references to things i like that most people may or may not relate to.

Pokemon Game Fan March 6th, 2016 2:15 AM

I like to think I'm smart. I hate saying it because it sounds pretentious and annoying but I do actually think so. Most people I've talked to tend to agree, however they also say I'm annoying. I just appreciate rational thinking, I love being able to come to an agreement on facts.

Also, I am good at things if I dedicate myself wholly to them. I've only done this with three things in life, though. Those were Pokemon, school, and comic books. When I dedicate myself to something fully and don't focus on anything else, I become reaaaally good at it. For example, 2-3 years ago I couldn't tell you anything about Batman. But now that he's my favorite character and I've dedicated myself to knowing everything there is about him, I can tell you his birthday, his parents' names, his butlers' parents' names, etc.

Aside from that, I dont have very many redeeming qualities. :D

Sycamorph March 6th, 2016 2:19 AM

I'm the best in my class, which is the worst class in school. So I'm the best of the worst, yay.

Thepokefansophia March 6th, 2016 4:49 AM

Uh.....
Skills?
I dont know if makeup and fashion counts?
I am good at swimming and badminton?

Nah March 6th, 2016 6:33 AM

I take it bragging/boasting is generally disliked since it comes off as arrogant, and no one likes arrogance really.
What am I good at you ask? Nothing really.

this reminds me of the time my high school's principal told us that we were the lowest scoring class (on the major standardized tests mainly) in the school's history

that was nearly 6 years ago and it still holds true today lmao

Jessie March 6th, 2016 7:59 AM

I'm really good and patient with horses! I have done most of the training on my own horse, and have helped some friends with theirs.

my memes are pretty dank I guess

Arylett Charnoa March 6th, 2016 9:48 AM

I'm gonna try this. I'm really gonna try. This is something I suck at so much. If this was a thread about all the things that are bad about me, I could have paragraphs upon paragraphs. But I'll try, for that little self-esteem boost.

Art is a thing that people say I am good at, I suppose. I believe that my skill is moderate, and not too expert. But I can do it better than most peoples' attempts, so that's something. Also, I am a very good writer when it comes to emotions. My words tend to be very precise, and explain my feelings well. They are also clear, and even when I don't edit too much, it's coherent. Coherency and comprehension are traits I put above all. I want as many people as possible to understand what I'm saying. Simplicity and minimalism are also important. I try to say what I'm saying directly and in as small words as I can and avoid extraneous clutter if I don't believe it'll add anything to the post.

People think I'm smart on the internet because of this. I suppose I am because my standards seem significantly higher than most. I am meticulous, and detail-oriented, and passionate. A lot of effort is dedicated to most of what I do, even the things that only take 10% of my energy by Arylett standards.

Another side people don't see of me often is my kindness. I have a lot of empathy, and I try to be fair and logical to everyone even if I think they might not deserve it. My motto is "logical, but considerate." Because I don't want unnecessary conflict or hurt feelings. So much of my time is spent thinking about moral dilemmas, trying to resolve them in a way that satisfies me. I'm disturbed if I can't behave this way and feel immensely guilty. I must be as ethical and kind as possible.

I'm sorry if this comes off as arrogant. I'm trying to reach that balance where I'm not excessively self-depreciating, but also don't sound like a jerkass who loves themselves. It might not be something I necessarily succeeded at.

Margot March 6th, 2016 10:25 AM

I like to think I'm decent at painting, photography and writing :) I'm also really passionate about my subject and research that will hopefully help people~

OH and pretty much every dog that meets me loves me. I think that's one of my prouder accomplishments.

polymorphism March 6th, 2016 12:17 PM

everyone is exactly the same.

Mana March 6th, 2016 12:44 PM

^ Those sound like pretty good traits, Archy :).

I'm good with numbers, and I'm a pretty good judge of character!

moon March 6th, 2016 1:09 PM

I'm pretty good at singing and pretty darn good at writing (in Swedish). Idk what else, maybe nothing else. But that's okay.

maccrash March 6th, 2016 2:35 PM

personally, I think I'm very good at articulating what I think about things, which is a trait I value above, well, a lot of others. I'm proud of myself for being able to not always say things coherently but in a resonant way that kinda just gets people. that sounds so douchey. You're Welcome. also, I think I have some sort of innate musical talent in that I don't find it very difficult to pick an instrument up and play it, plus I think I have an ear for that sort of thing. oh, and photography. my photos are okay and I have a good eye. oh, and I am a very sweet man. (:

I say it counts :3
I wish I could be good at it... But I am really not!



Well in real life, at Uni and all.. I am good at knowing random stuff about Pokemon XD

killer-curry March 6th, 2016 6:43 PM

Lol I always have troll conversation with people, troll skills in gaming, troll reactions about everything.

Trolling is the only thing I have to boast.

Innately musically talented huh? Think you can naturally play this then (and look just as awesome?)

Hikamaru March 7th, 2016 3:57 AM

I'm very good at laughing. Yes, I am known for having a huge laugh and a tendency to even laugh at stuff most people wouldn't consider funny.

Legobricks March 7th, 2016 11:42 AM

Remarkably talented at drawing considering I practically never do it.

Pretty good at driving... vehicles, not livestock, though I do also have a good handle on animals.

A good judge of... character, I suppose. I seem to know what I will like before I consciously know much about it, which goes for people as well as objects and media. I'm not sure this is a skill so much as a product of empathy and intelligence.

And finally, though I'm a generally slack person and you wouldn't guess it, and I know it's an odd ability to be aware of in a time and place such as I live, but I feel I have an unused talent comparable to my drawing ability for leading men in battle or a hunt, or some like tumult.


I'm normally quite useless at answering a thread like this in a way I'm happy with, but I think this time what I've given may well be everything.

I'm terrible at this, at least when speaking. Damnably frustrating when you're as smart as I am and know exactly what to say only after everything is said and done at the time; why I prefer text. Do you think a quick wit could be learned? I don't suppose so...

Neil Peart March 7th, 2016 2:49 PM

I'm good at virtually nothing, and I like it that way.

Margaery Tyrell March 7th, 2016 5:44 PM

Not to be vain, but I've been told I'm elegant and hold myself in an otherworldly manner which I'm quite proud of - additionally I've been complimented on my face so I like to think I'm attractive, to a degree.

I'm also really skilled at writing and expressing my emotions and thoughts, I love to write poetry as an outlet for my strong feelings. I'm constantly looking for beauty around me, and I like to weave that in my words and art, I want to show people the infinitely faceted concept of beauty - too often we do not believe in the beauty and value in ourselves. I guess it's kind of a lifelong mission of mine to touch as many people as possible in that way - I want to leave this world knowing that I've left a legacy of people who see that they're more beautiful and valuable than they could ever imagine.

I'm also really passionate and empathetic, I feel intensely about the things I care about and the people I love - I just naturally care about other peoples' wellbeing and lives, I now that sounds so smug or conceited, but it's not something I have to consciously try to do? I just...do. I'm soft-hearted and kind, and I'm glad I am. I don't ever want to lose that part of myself, I think it's important to be vulnerable and gentle in a world that's so deeply obsessed with being closely guarded and afraid of getting hurt.

Living like that, I think I've gained some measure of wisdom that exceeds my age - I'm creative and at least somewhat intelligent, which has really helped me in understanding others and understanding myself. I handle difficult situations well and make the best decision under pressure when it counts.

I'm also sort of skilled at drawing and acting, so that's cool. I really want to make a career out of drawing but I know I'm nowhere near where I need to be currently.

I dunno, I have a lot of positive qualities, or at least I think so. Who knows, I could be a huge jackass and no one's told me. :P

Livewire March 7th, 2016 6:00 PM

I'm naturally intelligent and am very perceptive, I pick up on context clues and non-verbal communication cues really well, and I can read people and interpret their feelings pretty well also. The other side of that is also being able to convince people to do what i want them to and also the ability to manipulate other people if need be. I'm also pretty good at sports.

Dragon March 7th, 2016 6:37 PM

Professional best friend and hugger!

And well, I guess I like my cooking talent! The way to a heart is through the stomach, after all. ^^

Cay March 7th, 2016 6:50 PM

I'm a talented singer and actor. I currently go to a high school focused on the arts, and I'm very proud of that =) I also really love my fashion taste and sense of humor.

Kikaito plush March 8th, 2016 4:11 AM

I'm god an ignoring people if it counts. If not I am good at drwing

noa March 8th, 2016 11:48 AM

I'm great at customer service and making people smile. I'd consider myself charming irl, I think. I'm not really good at much else... But I can make perfect hard boiled eggs??

Palamon March 10th, 2016 6:27 AM

I never forget your personality, ever. And once I put my mind to something, I can be great at it.

I guess?

Spiff March 10th, 2016 6:55 PM

I'm probably the only skater boy you know with a commercial pilot rating
