"Grammar, spelling, punctuation etc. Even my boss always got me to proof read everything for them. "
I try my best in not native languages.. but I was spotless in my own. Always best at orthography. Photographic memory perhaps? Useful pre computer era |

Yours is pretty perfect considering English isn’t your first language! |

Same here (apart from your boss asking me to proofread for them). For some reason I've always had really good spelling and grammar, without trying particularly hard in that area. |

"Listening to people, I’ve always had a strange ability to get people to open up.
Fucking things up! "
It can be overwhelming though. Taking on what people pour out on you! But I'm sure appreciated.
The latter isn't really self patting! More like self crucifying |

I come across as a hard nosed wee boot....but I'd put my neck on the line for most people in need. Even if I didn't like them."
Why do you do it for people you dislike if you don't mind me asking?
Ps. I adore your pic! |

I did, and still do. Always had my head in a book. That could be why. As for maths! Absolutely useless |

I'm really good at listening. And at being there for people. Caring.
Also sarcasm, falling over and flirting.
And I'm a comedy genius.
Ooh. And I am an absolute queen at being walked all over!

Remembering things. I have a useless ability to recall things, random posts, facts that are useless unless you're doing a pub quiz. I also think I have a fairly extensive lexicon and I'm good at using it (most of the time  ). |

"Maths and number problems. I have dyslexia so I take creative liberties trying to write things down but give me an equation and I’ll have it done in no time "
I'd have never guessed about dyslexia. I always found mathematical minds fascinating. A beautiful mind is one of my favourite books/movies. And several others on topic. |

Forgetting things, losing stuff and being impatient. Inability to remember song lyrics. Breathing, slowly.
The good stuff.
Finding stuff online, when others can't be bothered, word play, giving people who I know nicknames. Quick fire jokes and a head full of vintage TV ads. My spelling's not too bad either. |

I don't reckon it's useless ability. You never know what will help one day or who you might help! And being wordy is a great advantage, especially online. |

Sadly, you might get little support on here other than from me and a few others. The vast majority (not just on here but also in the general populace) seem to hold the popular belief that good English no longer matters and that anything can be excused on the grounds that 'language evolves'.
Hopefully you, at least, might understand why I maintain that 'rescued dogs' and 'rescue dogs' (for example) should not be ignorantly confused or misdescribed by adopters of sloppy English! |

Possibly, yeah.
I've cut people out of my life completely though if it's been unhealthy for me. So I do draw a line eventually. |

Im a conversationalist and an excellent listener. Cos ive always been a ppl watcher and interested in sociology and psychology, ive always been good at listening and communicating, and giving advice, or helping guide ppl through their problems
Im glad i have this quality cos its allowed me to genuinely connect with ppl, i can share moments with them that you can only have when you actually sit down with each other and really communicate on a human level
Sometimes the act of just talking and getting to know someone for hours on end is more stimulating than sex itself |

I do love a dare, but that sounds like a lot of effort for not an awful lot of reward - apart from the self satisfaction of another good park  |

The things that come easily to me at this time of life are usually ones that I have spent a lot of time and effort mastering.
Conversely, things that came easily to me when younger are now hard work! |

Same. I can’t explain the rules of writing, but I am an exceptional writer.
Working things out, research, navigating transit systems, all come easily to me.
There’s not a lot I struggle with, in terms of practical things actually. |

Reading and spelling. I think people who find reading and spelling easy often don't realise how difficult and stressful many people find it and how this impacts on their life. It's something I often find myself feeling grateful for. |

Self perseveration come easily to me though it hasn’t always been this way.
I have had to learn the hard way to make choices in my life that benefited me but that doesn’t mean to the detriment of others.
Self confidence and boundary setting are important |

Out of topic, but are you still spotless in your own language? I'm slowly forgetting more and more words. I still remember their meaning when I hear them, but I can't remember them when I need to use them myself, it's so frustrating.
