Poll: What Do You Pride Yourself On?

[Funky Flump]

Most people have something they are good at or consider themselves to be of a higher standard than most of their peers at, for example I pride myself on my superior agility than 90% of my classmates at highschool also my extensive computer skills in relation to theirs even though my abilities among computer specialists are most likely sub-standard. So Escapist what are YOU good at, or wish you were good at...Me?
Im good at Jumping Around.
I wish I was good at Fighting Games.

By all means compare your abilities, but keep it civil!

 

[AvsJoe]

I'm good at sports games and turn-based strategies.
I wish I was good at keeping my weight down.

I also pride myself on my Escapist Quiz leadership. Seriously, I haven't done a quiz in like 2 and a half months and I'm still #1.

 

[Jelly ^.^]

I'm proud of my handshake.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I'm good at eating shitloads and requiring nothing more than a good night's sleep to remain as skinny as a beansprout (and that's why nickname is 'Fatso'! d'uh)

Seriously: I 'pride' myself at being reasonably good at a fair few things (organic chemistry, pure mathematics, classical/military history, the life and times of Publius Cornelius Scipio P f L n, entomology of Formicidae, writing & music). However, I wish I was better at computer engineering and coding, as well as twitch-based games.

 

[Snork Maiden]

I'm happy to be pretty good at everything I do, but not really be amazing at any one thing.

 

[Jonluw]

I'm halfway decent with the bass and I'm good at science. That's all really.

 

[Ldude893]

Pride's one of the deadly sins. I prefer to say that I'm good at some things.

Like drawing. I picked up the talent when I was a kid.

 

[AngryMongoose]

I'm very humble. I'm the MOST humble guy in the world, really.

Naa, I'm pretty damn clever. Good at logical reasoning at such. Though since someone else in my maths class is world class (representing England in an international maths tournament) it's hard to say I'm the best.

 

[MercurySteam]

My avatars, most likely.

 

[Jedamethis]

Erm...
I'm above average in everything except sports I think. That's changing though, I can sprint fast, run quite far, and have motherfucking springs in my leg muscles apparentally.

That's just out of all the people I know though, so could be false.


No specialty.

 

[StBishop]

Pretty good at gaming.
Pretty good at sport, can pick up skills quickly.
Pretty good at learning, if I have the required knowledge to understand a subject (ie. understand basic algebra before learning quadratics) I would be confident in learning any subject at all.
Pretty good at math, but don't do it regularly enough to recall what to do with most problems (ie. don't recall high school formulae as I've not used them in the last 4 years but given a week or so I'd be able to refresh enough to be able to do most anything)
Pretty damn good at logic, spatial, and lateral thinking puzzles.

 

[StBishop]

Fuck you Chrome.
Double post.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

The only thing I have halfway approaching a talent is spelling, and even that pales in comparison to many people.

So yeah, not really good at anything.

 

[Alon Shechter]

My eyesight is superior to almost everyone I know, despite me spending a lot more time than them looking at a screen.
I also grew both mentally and physically beyond my age, but maybe that's not a superiority....
I also play guitar. I'm.... Well I think I'm awful but the surrounding peers always disagree.
Fuck them, they also thought I was 17 when I was 13.

 

[rubinigosa]

According to some I am good at drawing and painting and according to my depressed mind I am not good at anything.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I don't really have any special talents nor am exceedingly great at gaming which is my hobby BUT I can make a very good cup of tea, I'm good with animals and I'm very relaxed - to the point where nearly no one can make me angry any more

 

[SwimmingRock]

Serious answers: Piano and dancing skills, knowledge of art and music, try to keep up on science, most of my friends consider me a reliable friend and source of support/valuable information.

Less serious answers: I once almost accidentally killed 5 people with chocolate, I quit my first job on the first day (to be fair, they had lied to me about my workload by 260%), I don't get hangovers even when I get pass-out drunk and I have all possible drivers licenses although I refuse to use any of them, because I hate driving.
