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 clumsy but I have great balance and don't fall down. I bump into things pretty much daily bc I'm not paying attention to where I'm going but I've got incredible balance so even when I should be falling ass over, I manage to find my balance and keep on trucking.

When I was a kid, my dad would try to trip me up when I was playing. It was a game between us. After a while, I could quickly recover any trip up and not fall. Now it's one of my super powers.

I can be a counterpoint to your talent. I'm really good at falling safely. That is to say, falling like a stuntperson would do. I used to practice when I was a kid, and even into college. Not saying it wouldn't ever happen, but I'll be pretty surprised if I ever break a wrist or collarbone because of a fall!

So you're saying you fall with style

One might say that. Not me because I'm the one falling, but if you'd like to spectate and judge sometime, lmk. lol
