What's your uncanny special talent, or what comes absolutely natural to you that makes others look at you in intrigue/disbelief? (lemmy.world)

I know not everyone of us has a special talent, but many of us do. Some are just incredible. So, what are they??

Edit: Please don't be humble. Let it out. Be proud of it and share so we can marvel.

I can wing cooking something. Essentially I riff out a dish without a recipe and limited pantry. This also means I can make good tasting food even if it doesn't look amazing.

It's at least amazing to my mom haha. She is always like 'I don't get how you come up with sfuff' when I slap something together. I didn't think it was a big deal but my mom can't cook without a recipe and my brother can't cook for anything.
