What is the best skill you possess that makes you stand above the average person?

Other people are sometimes amazed by my language skills. I’m German, know English pretty well, and am learning japanese since about half a year. I’m not too sure, if how many languages/how good most people speak/understand.

I’m good at being optimistic and happy I would say. I’m also very calm and rational in situations many would find themselves angry or sad. One things that definitely helps is walking. It gives you time to think and appreciate your surroundings.

And of course, I’m good with computers. I have some servers I regularly do some new stuff with, and work in Cybersecurity (as student but hey you got to start somewhere)

I guess having strong opinions based on science, logic and empathy, if I have gathered enough evidence and knowledge about it and also being honest about not knowing enough about a topic to form an opinion on that topic. This should be the norm.

Pretty much everything. The average person can’t read and write, can’t swim, can’t run or hold a steering wheel with two hands, because the average person doesn’t have two legs and two arms, etc

I have two useless talents:

  • Highly developed sense of smell (sometimes a liability)
  • Ability to identify voice actors with high accuracy

I once identified the source of a minute gas leak in my basement, which had evaded the calibrated detection equipment of the utility company, so I guess I can’t say it’s completely useless.

Anyone in this thread could probably just cite their career.
