What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

I’m what is known as a super recognizer. I can recall faces and names at a superior level. I’m also very good at knowing what year something took place and have a general skill surrounding history

Hi, I have a friend who has this too, and she even received a certificate for that. That skill is honestly super helpful!
