Something you’re just good at with minimal effort and/or you learned much more quickly than average.
For me, it’s paper snowflakes. My brain just seems to effortlessly figure out what cuts to make to the paper wedge to make it turn out exactly how I want it. Largely useless, but good fun and was a much-needed ego boost when I was a kid :]
I have an excellent sense of time and space, i can accurately tell how much time and distance I’ve gone without tools. Im great to bring along for a hike.
Out of interest, do you have a vague ability to tell orientation (magnetic north) with your eyes closed? Research is showing some people have magnetoreception and that it may have been more common in our human ancestors but lost to many over time.
It could explain why you’re so good at telling distance and time.

Here’s a pretty recent paper on this. I only skimmed it but boy does this seem wacky. It is in Nature, though, so I guess it’s at least somewhat serious…?
I have the same thing. I’m pretty sure there’s a word for this sense, but it eludes me at the moment.
whatever you and @who8mydamnoreos have, I have the opposite. I’m very good at getting lost multiple times in the same locality.
Pretty sure that’s a skill too - probably confuses attackers who try to pre-empt your movements.
and you have the talent to find the silver lining in every cloud . Bravo!
