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'm good at fixing things. It's great for saving money but it's not that I don't like it, I just get tired of having to do it all the time.

I can tell if it's not butter.

I don't believe you.

I can get people to trust me really quickly, genuinely acceptance of others comes easily for me and they can feel it

I have really good hearing and I'm good at guessing pronunciation of people's names in certain languages.

I have fond memories of listening to conversations at the other end of the table at family gatherings. If we're out with a bunch if people, I'll listen to the various conversations.

I'm a quick learner paired with being stubborn enough to keep trying things until I gain success or I'm at least satisfied with my failure.

Mathematics, dance, and remembering song lyrics. I passed the first to all of my children and the last to two of them.

I'm ambidextrous and really good at tech support.

Getting wasted

My ability to whip a story up at the spot is pretty damn good. I run Dungeons and Dragons in a homebrewed world, and a good part of it is made up on the spot. While doing this, I always make sure to keep consistency.

The only thing I'm lacking is long monologues.... That is hard to just make up
