I thought that I should start a thread so we can acknowledge our own and others talents. We all have something we are good at, so share it! :)

Here is my talent...

I am good at taking care of animals. I seem to have a unique bond with them and seem to be able to connect with them on a level that most I know can't do.

Nevermind, oh wait a minute. I like to laugh about people who like to brag about talents on message boards.
Is that a talent ?

You have a problem with people acknowledging that they're good at something?

Go hate yourself in a corner, or something.


I am a good musician.

I have quite a handful so I've yet to master any, but my main talent has always been drawing. I've also played several instruments in the past, most of which I've given up to concentrate on my art, so they might not count anymore. I also do well with coding, working with raw HTML and the like.

Hope I don't come across as bragging, I'm not all that good at what I do and still envy those who are. :P

I'm an excellent writer, I can bake just about anything, I give excellent, objective advice when asked that people trust and respect, and a few years ago I got sick of not being able to draw so I taught myself how to shade.

I don't see anything wrong with recognizing my talents, it does after all come with the same amount of understanding and acceptance of my weaknesses. Its all about balance.

It's fine to acknowledge other people's talents, but foolish to bring up what one's own are.
Quote:
Proverbs 27:2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

I admit I'm still waiting for someone to acknowledge what my talents are (and I'm 53 yrs. old!), but I don't want to tell the world what my talents are (to me, it's humiliating).

How can it possibly be foolish to bring up your own talents??
People are always talking about their flaws...so why not talk about something your good at??

I'm not a troll.
I've heard, though, that one of the tactics of a troll is to accuse others of trolling. Isn't that interesting?

*edit*
You may not be trolling while accusing people of snobbery and saying that you are laughing at people, but it certainly comes across that way.

Hey, YOU are the emo. Not me.
I was going to apologise for possibly misunderstanding you.
