What's you special talent?

Really unsure.. Over the past few years I’ve been losing myself and finding myself at the same time. Finding myself as in finding what I am interested in, but also finding that what I am is barely anything compared to most other people I know, and losing myself by going insane over the latter revelation.




I’ve lost my way a bit, and have lost my head and I am now left thinking I have no skills at all.. Which can’t possibly be true. I used to have some, so surely there is hope that I still may?


I used to be quite good at running, which was always a skill which earned me the right not be get beaten up by the dominant males at my school. I earned their respect by kicking their asses at running, etc. I gave it up before going to uni because I was never fantastic at it, and it was never going be my career. It ended up just getting in the way of everything else. I was ok at it, but compared to most people at the club I was begining to slow people down as I had been hit with illness and injury too many times, and I didn't have the healthy-eating plan or the motivation to keep myself strong and improve.. Doing that would have meant dedicating my life to my running, and I couldn't afford to do that.


I’m apparently a good listener, which is something I guess. If anyone has any problems, once they start to realise that I’m not just a blank-monkey, and if they start talking and go into their issues I’ll listen to them. I’ll do my best to give advice, or just listen and show concern. I’m meant to be quite good at that. As a result I seem to have made better friends with people that people normally wouldn't speak to.


I’ve been trying to find skills in other areas that are constructive for my life, but my head hasn’t been working properly. I can never seem to focus on anything at the moment... I want to learn how to draw, but I can never be bothered to learn… Same with writing… I have ideas I want to put down, but lack the skills needed to be a good writer. I have quite an active imagination, and I'm quite creative in the ideas I have in my mind, I just don't have a way of getting them down at the moment.


But I’ve learned now, I just have to slap myself and get on with it. Screw everything, and just attempt it... Otherwise the days will continue merging with each other and every year I live will just be a blur with nothing in terms of personal achievement to show for it.





Special talent? Probably missing or not found / nurtured at the moment, but I'm now willing to find it!

people have noticed that I knew how to spell certain words better than other students could, that I could also type fast, and my improving ability to draw manga. (I've been drawing manga since age 14). So far, those are my talents.
 
Well,I can't say actually that I have a special talent..but I love to write[I have many stories,fan fictions,poems..and been in lots of RPs..so ideas I got,plenty...]
Usually I get the ideas after I listen to a certain song or just looking at a painting..or watching a picture full of details.. :)
as I want to make a book after my last story,but I have to finish it..and it requiers a lot of work[for the grammar and stuff..but this is one of my dreams]
Another thing[not very special...] but I like making sweets[cakes,cookies,fruit tarta] as one day I wanna open my Own Shop with sweets.. ^^ hehe dreams..
 
My art class once said that I'm very talented with Photoshop...lol

Anyways, I'm a pretty good dancer, I used to be good at swimming and I do well with martial arts. Thats all...so far...
 
I'm a natural at art. I didn't need to take classes to get any good with drawing and painting. Because all art is a representation of what you see, your greatest teacher will and always will be you and your eye. :hmph:
 
Psychic, spiritual and artistic. That's about it.
However, there is still a lot I need to learn and discover.

So who knows?
 
I'm not sure if it's a talent, but I sometimes dream something that will occasionally happen in the future. Also playing the piano. I'm not the best, but I can listen to a song, and play some parts to it pretty fast.
 
I'm a fairly good singer, and I've won a few writing competitions when I was in school. I also have an oddly accurate spelling and grammar recall; for some reason even if I'm not sure how to spell a word, I feel almost like I can sort of "sense" how it's supposed to be spelled even if it's full of weird silent letters, and I almost always get it right :hmmm: And I'm not sure whether I could still do it or not, but I used to have 1 through 50 of the Periodic Table of the Elements memorized, and could recite them when asked :hmmm: And I can draw fairly well if I'm looking at an object or another picture and then copying it down, but I can't draw for crap without something to look at :lew:
 
I guess singing and drawing are common talent? Anyway my special talent is cutting my own hair! I'm a girl and I had been cutting my own hair since very young and never went the salon before. Everyone said my hair style is very proffesional! haha!
 
Naturally being the apex of the human race, I have earned numerous accolades unachievable by the rest of you mere mortals. I will only list the top three, as I have people to see and gods to dethrone

1] I have a more eclectic and obscure taste in music than you

2] I have never met anyone with the same birthday as me

3] I once fell backwards down a set of stone steps and didn't get hurt, I am both a master of physics and biology
 
I can roll my tongue into a U shape (not special but no one has said anything!!) I can wiggle my ears and I'm double jointed from my elbows down to my wrists...

Not that it helps with anything but meh
 
Haha... I have absolutely no good talents. Like at all. Not good, and certainly not special. I can see my future in my dreams, does that count? Besides that, I am a damn good singer in the shower, and I can make a great stick figure, and I can bore you in 24 different ways! :neomon: ... A lot of people say I am good at writing stories, which is fucking awesome. I'm very honored to have pretty much everybody that has seen my work, love it. :) (PS: As I was typing this, I got an email saying I got my first follower on Tumblr, and it's an Ambrose fangirl! OMG! We so gonna get our nails did together, guuuurl!)
 
My only talent that's actually worth anything and that I do anything with is my ability with languages. My native language is English but I've spoken German since the age of eight or so. I learnt French (and German) to a very high standard while at school. I also picked up Italian via Spanish later on so that I could more easily pursue my interest in the Roman Empire and some gems of Middle Spanish literature. I understand both written down pretty fluently but am not so good with spoken Spanish. I also learnt Russian, and studied it at university, so I could more easily travel around the former Soviet republics. I also learnt some Mandarin while teaching in Shanghai but I haven't kept that up.

I used to have a talent for short-distance running but I never did anything with that so I only use that to run away from dogs now. I have been told I have a talent for calming people down, but I have never really thought so.
