What are you genuinely good at besides your career?

* Befriending cats
* Making people feel listened-to
* Interpreting my friends’ dreams (and giving them tarot card readings that feel eerily accurate–feels like that’s a similar skill)
* Catastrophizing

I’m very insightful. I understand why people do the things they do and have a lot of empathy for those who are struggling.
I’m amazing at being the reliable friend.
I check in on my friends randomly, I arrange meet ups and match everyone’s schedules and pick a place, split the bill, help with moving in/moving out, looking through resumes/portfolios, offer financial advice, check in on friends’ parents. Im the first person people come to with news, happy and sad.
Traveling the world on a budget.
Crochet
– Judging people
– Basketball
– Fashion
– Having fun
Weirdly, for someone who was introverted for a long time, I’m really good at connecting different folks together!
– cooking
– knitting
– being pregnant (best times of my life)
– getting pregnant
– fashion
– reliable friend
-Identifying what I’m feeling
-identifying how someone else is feeling
-identifying animals and having a little fact about them usually
-making someone feel heard and understood
-creating playlists
-offering advice
-positive thoughts + encouraging myself
-laughing most things off
Cooking without a recipe, befriending animals, Mario Kart, dancing, being a good friend, doing winged liquid liner, remembering useless information, forgetting people’s names, being empathetic towards others.
Cooking, baking, being a wife, connecting with people, handcrafts and making things cozy.
Playing piano
Reading people. I can instantly tell if someone is in a bad mood etc even if they don’t show it. I don’t know how to describe it but I just feel it. I can also understand what will make someone like me. Like what to say, how to act etc
Ha, bold of you to assume I’m genuinely good at anything, especially my career.
Bold of you to assume I’m good at my career
(I’m a guy, so, sorry for responding directly) Taking care of drunk people & maybe even generally vulnerable people
I’m very good at:
-making those I love feel loved
-building fires
-making chocolate lava cake
– Torturing myself
– Hating myself
👍
Planning my day, travel planning, looking after children or the elderly, budgeting, doing hobbies alone and keeping myself entertained (I hardly get bored/lonely).
Put me in front of a piano, and I can play for hours.
Pretending that I’m ok.
Playing the guitar and piano, running and being a really loyal friend.
My emotional intelligence is high, and I’m good at reading peoples body language and nuanced facial expressions. I can infer people’s thoughts and feelings easily.
