Now we all know that our psychical abilities are special. We know that other people have the potential to do these things too but what I am asking about is things which you can do that you were surprised to find out were not universal.

What are you talking about Mark? lol

Heres the example that got me started thinking about this. Only one of my friends is able to lip read. Its a skill I have always had and assumed that everybody could do it. Turns out that's not the case.

What about you? Do you have a skill that seemed natural to you that not everybody can do?

Heres another example, tongue rolling...



can you do it?

Yup, tongue rolling, lol. My natural talent is stealth. Not everyone is as good as I am in stealth. Yes, I can be REALLY sneaky.

I used to be able to scratch mi head with my feet. I can tongue roll (if that is the verb. And something i always knew it was not something everybody could do is that i can dislocate my right femur from my hip. I dont do it that much because i think it might get too dislocated and i wont be able to take it back to its postion by myself

Freak! lol. Now thats the kind of thing I'm talking about!

i am very tall and big ( as in bulky) but i am great at stealth like a ninja
i also have the ability to play a song exactly as i hear it after hearing it 3 times
i dont use sheet music i only play by ear and i do better then most who read sheet music
some other stuff too but it isnt as cool or important lol

That is called "absolute hear". You can remember and play notes almost exactly by just hearing them a few times. It is quite an unique thing. I think i have it.

Mozart aged 14 walked into the Vatican and heard Allegri's Miserere (a piece which was only played in the vatican) then went home and wrote it out note for note.

My friend has that pain-free dislocation too, on his shoulder. Freaky lol

And I agreed with Mark on that abilities do vary.   

I'll start thinking... I got one! I would be muscular if I exercised, but I don't very much and I'm still a bit muscular. I can sprint fast, which people find unlikely because I'm a bit overweight. I think I'm great at stealth, but I've no one to compare to. When I'm with friends I'm extremely energetic. In the elementary school, I was the best climber, I would climb this giant pole a lot, but now I'm too big to climb like that. I keep listing things because I'm trying to think of a unique thing, I got nothing, I'm pretty average... Oh wait, I have one, I have a good imagination. When I used to play with my friends I would lead the story, and decide what happened next.

mozart was a great musician anyway XD
what if i was mozart in my past life? O.O

I can dislocate my shoulder, thumb and something near the hips. I can also play a song without the notes after hearing it a couple of times, I discovered that a few months ago

i can lift my body with my hands so im a nature born climber

Until yesterday i thought i could hold my breath up to 15 seconds. I was always afraid of not noticing when i am running out of oxigen and drown ( as i hold my breath in the pool) A friend o mine came and told me to hiperventilate first, and then enter to the water. I holded up to like 50 seconds. It is a personal record. I also stoped bein so afraid of drowning and now i notice my pulmonar capability is much more than the one i though!

did you know you can't hold your breath to death? you knock yourself out and automatically start breathing again once unconscious!

Yes i know. But when underwater you breath the water.

If only you had a highly oxygenated pool, but that could damage your lungs from the weight, it's been done in a movie before.

I can hold my breath for quite a while on land, but in water I can't go for so long, and I can't go even a few seconds without goggles. I think my lung capacity is greater than that of the average person, because I have a chest deformity where my sternum sticks out a bit, but quite actually that probably makes not much of a difference.

Often, I have dreams where I can breath underwater and they seem absurdly real. They make me think it's possible in reality.

You can survive for 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food.

I'm surprised when other people can't see in the dark as well as I can.

Heres another weird thing: Are your ear lobes attached?

I guess nobody else has ears then? Mine are detached for what its worth.

I can zoom in with my eyes, not very much but a little. Can anyone else do that?

I can zoom in with my eyes but not much. Can move my ears. I can play leads to any song after listening it to a few times(dont know exact no.) I cant play chords. I can play tabla, keyboard and mandolin...can write and compose at the same time. Any sport, i watch and learn and then can play

Mine are attached, but that is a genetic thing. It also meant something but i dont remember what (not something spiritual or anything, something biological)
