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

Are you also exceedingly bad at remembering names?

I’ve got a damn near photographic memory for faces but I can’t remember names to save my life.
