Tricks and Talents!
 
What are you good at? Can you do any neat little tricks? You know, like cartwheels, juggling, beatboxing, or even things like snapping your fingers, wiggling your ears, or blowing a good bubble? Or just tell me what interesting talents or abilities you have! I hope no one posts anything like "I have no talents" because everyone has a unique talent even if they aren't fully aware of it.

I apparently have a really good knack for reading emotions, and I'm somewhat double-jointed which makes me pretty flexible. I also have unusually good dexterity.

I can bend my fingers in ways that make people think they're broken and it freaks people out.

I have no talents. 8D

Writing. I'm not an expert writer, but I do have talent and potential for this. Many people have told me so. I also have this talent for expressing myself through it as well. It's amazing how much I can write down things in my mind that I can't verbally tell someone about. I'm also very good at reading people's emotions and the kind of person they are. I've discovered too that I can connect to others on a very high emotional level as well.

I can blow bubbles with my mouth! A lot of them.

...Uh. Okay. I'll try to think of something real.

People seem impressed by the way I write, so I'll go with that. I know for a fact that it's better when I type rather than opening my mouth. (Which results in a more disorganized, and sometimes mispronounced effort) It's effortless and fluid to write, and feels natural. That is how I communicate far better.

Of course, as a speaker, I can at least speak slowly and clearly despite some bumps in my speech. A lot of people are difficult to understand because they kind of... mash their lips together or something. So maybe being comprehensible is a talent.

Oh and I draw. It's not as good as a lot of those bigwigs, but you know, it's a thing I can do. No natural talent here, just... lots of practice. For the more technical aspects anyway. I do think I have a generally good sense of color and design, and am very aesthetically sensitive about what looks and feels good.

Lastly, a weird quirky thing I can do when my nails grow out is blow through them and make a whistling sound.

Hmm, my only PC related talents lie in ROM hacking. I'm about 99.999% sure I'm the best active ROM hacker on PC. Besides this though, there isn't much...

I consider myself a good wingman and someone who is quick to read the emotional states of others. That said, I'm always found doing the exact opposite of what I should :D

I guess I'm not particularly bad at anything either, that counts as a talent, right? I really envy people with physical talents. It's impossible for someone like me, no matter how long I train and practice, to become double jointed and look like I'm breaking my fingers for example.

I can put both legs behind my head. It's something I don't often do becuase it is one of the reasons why I am picked on often.

I can rap. I know what you're thinking, just another white boy thinkin he can rap but you're oh so wrong lol, I got mad flow. Tf else you expect from someone living in Chicago?

Her March 21st, 2016 8:01 PM

i have an instantaneous and near limitless knowledge of pop culture which tends to make me come off as.... a wee bit obsessive but i'm simply very good at remembering these sorts of things!

Jetfire March 21st, 2016 9:42 PM

I can flawlessly rap the PokeRap.

Ullion March 22nd, 2016 1:30 PM

Oh! I can wiggle my ears! When I was younger, I used to make a joke that I had puppet strings attached to them, and pretend I'd pull on the invisible strings with my hands as I wiggled my ears. ^^;

As for talents... I'd like to think I am one of the best jump-shooters (for basketball) out of anyone I know. :)

Sothis March 22nd, 2016 6:03 PM

I can make the worst out of anything! Lol, but really, I don't think I have any skills that stand out ;u;

I can do that too. The reason I don't want to is because I don't like showing off.

I'm also flexible (my arms are, at least). Because of this I don't write the same way a normal person does. Sadly I'm also more slender and weaker than a normal person.

^this :)

I don't do it often either though because I always worry I'm going to break something...but I still do it when people ask to see it haha

I have a few weird talents besides my normal writing and drawing.

I can juggle plates and balls. I used to be able to do a lot of tricks with them, but I'm a bit out of practice, so I'm pretty rusty. Still, I bet I could do them if you give me some time to warm up. I can also do a style of dance called robot popping. My friend wants to take me to a club so I can show off, but being out in a crowd like that sounds horrible, haha.

I can go from 100 to 0 real quick.

Okay if I was held at gunpoint and had to be serious, I have been singing in Disney performances/took vocal courses for 8 years so I guess I'd say I have a talent in that. I also dance, and have choreographed dances. I've been told I'm talented at graphic designing/art/writing and whatnot too.

I could make a list and go on and on about my general talents, BUT I truly think I have a knack for listening to people and being there for them. I have a really big heart, and I will honestly sit down and listen to you talk about a freakin sock for 4 hours straight, and not judge you for it. In fact I will talk about that sock for 4 more hours if you wanted to, and genuinely be interested. It sounds silly or cliché even, but I feel like I pick up on all of the simple things people look past. I remember them in every shape/form of its pain or other feeling it contains. I literally physically and mentally feel whatever that person is feeling. The quote "put yourself in their shoes" would be an understatement to what actually happens for me. I don't know if that would be considered a "talent" I suppose, but it's something that just happens, and I can do it.

As for weird talents, all I can really think of right now is that I have an insane amount of control over my eyebrows. x)

I do Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions for fun. Sure it may not be the most talented of things, but at least i can make people laugh when i'm able to say a whole sentence or a clusterbomb of words while straining my voice and lungs ;)
