    We all have different hobbies and interests, and naturally, we learn a lot about things we enjoy that interest us. What is your expertise, or something that you know a lot about?
     
    Mine is writing. The reason is because it helps me express myself. Because I'm autistic, I lack the ability to express myself verbally and emotionally. So, that's one of the reasons why writing has helped me so much. I also have been learning a lot more about disabilities and mental health issues. Mostly, because some of my closest friends have them.

    Video games, I guess. More on the side of RPGs, but I've been broadening my knowledge a lot the last couple of years.

    Also know a lot about wildlife in general as a result of growing up with nature documentaries and going out birdwatching, bug catching, and fishing during my youth...and I have two degrees in Accounting, so I probably know a bit about that too =P
     
    Hockey history. I'm a member of the Society for International Hockey Research (SIHR) and have been super interested in everything to do with the history of hockey for as long as I can remember.
     
    I would probably say the Olympics. Winter and Summer. Bids, torch relays, etc. I'll talk about it at length with anyone.
     
    I consider myself a trained professional on the railroad. I probably could've picked a better company to work for, but I know a lot more than most of my family about the railroad.
     
    Being good at something is a thing I dream about.
     
    I specialise in zoology. I also know a great deal about certain fandoms like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
     
    Rheology is super interesting and I want to learn all there is about it.
     
    Cars. I'm not a mechanic by trade, but I've been working on my own cars for as long as I can remember and I've gotten pretty good at it. I can fix (or break) pretty much anything I put my hands on.

    Also, videogames. I get paid to develop games, so I must have a pretty good knowledge of the industry. I also collect videogame related stuff, mostly from the Nintendo 64 era. To find good deals, you have to know what you're looking for..!
     
    My family considers me a jack of all trades, because I have a lot of (in-depth) knowledge about a lot of things. That said, I don't know what my one true expertise is; I'm sure I have one but I can't think of it right now. One notable thing I am very good is Socratic questioning and, to an extent, argumentation.
