I’m convinced everyone has a hidden talent.

spoiler

I didn’t think I had one, but recently learnt that many people haven’t committed close families’ / friends’ phone numbers or birthdays. I know everyone in my close circle’s phone number by accident because there was a time my phone would just show the phone number. Plus people you live with, isn’t it common to know their numbers? I unfortunately remember my ex’s phone number (it had a specific pattern), my friends’ phone numbers, and a fuck ton of birthdays of people I no longer speak to. My best friends in high school would never remember my birthday, even though I remembered theirs, and her excuse was always not being able to remember birthdays. There is a thing called a calendar. I wonder how common this is! My prediction is relatively common.

Mine is being oblivious to romantic interest until years later when I suddenly realise what was going on.

I’m very good at falling over - even a full body faceplant dramatic one - without doing any harm to myself. Mastered the “safe fall”/“stage fall” as a kindergarten kid.

I’ve also got what seems to be an exceptionally high tolerance for pain.

Possibly these two things are connected?

  This a skill that stunt people have, too

    I’d stopped crying when I fell over by the time I was two. People used to comment “huh, she never cries - she’s just properly stacked it, and she’s fine? How?”

I can make a loud click sound with my tongue. Most people can click their tongue and it sounds rather small and kinda wet. When I do it, I can stop my tongue from hitting the bottom of my mouth, and it makes a very loud “knock” sound, like someone knocked hard on a wooden door.

It hasn’t been very useful in my professional life, but it has been extremely amusing using it to scare people. Or compete with my dad to see who can make the loudest click 😂
