Something You're Good At But Didn't Know It
Might sound like a weird idea but I think it could be interesting. Basically, is there anything that you are very good at, but you never knew it until someone else told you? It can be anything. Doesn't even have to be a useful skill. Or maybe you just totally underestimated yourself. Can even be a personality trait, like if someone said you one of the nicest people they've ever met but you had never thought that. Or it can be just a really abstract thing that you are really good that that has no real applications. For example, way back in college during the Halo 4 days, I thought I was just pretty good at the game. Then one day my friend went to the matchmaking rank website and found that I was something like 58th overall in the entire game. Has anything like that ever happened to you? Let's keep the humblebrags to a maximum.

有点类似，但是我的数学部分在数学部分得到了可怕的成绩。从来没有想过我会擅长数学，甚至在HS大三的时候，整个学期都没有做任何任务。我真糟糕。然后我上了大学，不得不参加所需的计算和统计课程，并且需要导师，因为我的技能已经落后了。事实证明，我实际上很喜欢这种练习，因为我在第一个挣扎的迹象时就经过了最初的感觉。以PEN进行了计算，介绍统计数据和中级统计课程最终考试。在所有决赛上都得到了A。我总是太害怕像HS中的白痴那样寻求帮助，我只是接受了不好的事情。事实证明，当您将更多的工作和精力投入其中时，事情会变得更加容易，谁知道？
Same thing happened to me with math. Was utter dogshit with like basic algebra and geometry, then had a really awesome teacher for calculus junior year of high school and another one for statistics senior year. Totally flipped a switch in my brain and went from being a C math student to somewhat competent.
对于我来说，这绝对是一个很难尝试在课堂/导师会议之外进行自学的主题。一个吸引人的好老师可以使一切与众不同。
Yup very similar situation. I a.ways thought I sucked at math because I'd never get better than a C but then in junior year of HS I just started getting it. Reality was that I just started asking for help lol.
按照个性特征的思路。
I'm a pretty normal guy, but definitely skew towards introversion than extraversion. Everyone can be a clown when their with their buddies but in general I would say I am a little quiet. I offered to drive somebody I knew from school home from a poker game one night, and half-way through the drive he turns and says, "You know, I think some people think you may be intimidating, but you're actually a really good guy". Genuinely have no fucking idea how I come across in either of those ways, but I guess I'll take it?

Along the similar line of personality traits, I do have a capability of being very obsessive about singular topics. A lot of people who know me tend to think I'm not risk averse and change life plans drastically, but I spend hours constantly thinking about something/ doing something. I can spend 18 hours a day just on something if I really like it. As you can imagine, this is definitely not always a good thing and has numerous downsides.
I'm that way with music. Since I have a music taste that not many people know about it I can go on and on talking about it in the rare instance that the opportunity presents itself
What's your music taste?
I resonate with both things you said I think we might be the same person lol

In 2014, I was living with a religious group in a country outside of the US. We would play board games in our free time and there were some cards so we played card games and then eventually we started playing poker with plastic chips. I had never played poker before so I slowly began to pick up the game and then I started dominating. I would usually win the games and my motivation to stay in the game was just because I didn't want to get knocked out and have nothing to do and didn't want to play scrabble or something. So basically two seminarians and a Catholic priest taught me how to play No Limit Texas Hold'em. They knew I was good and said 'don't play online and go to the casinos' when you leave. So that's exactly what I did.
我在2014年免费培训了6个月，然后于2015年1月开始在网上玩钱，并计划在赌场现场演奏。我去了Hard Rock Seminole赌场的第一次在好莱坞佛罗里达州的现场锦标赛。我以150美元的价格输入，赚了1400美元。我继续在网上获胜，并在5个不同的网站上玩。我真的很幸运了6个月，尽管回头看我的游戏很弱，但我的表现很好。当时我全职打球时，我也被烧毁了。我看了看自己的生活，决定我需要做一些对社会更有益的事情，然后决定在2016年开始进行神经科学研究。我当年也在医学领域担任研究实习生。就像我妈妈得到的痴呆症 /阿尔茨海默氏症的生物技术临床试验一样，我认为我可以帮助找到治愈方法。神经科学研究的进步要比我想象的要慢得多，但是我们确实进行了一些有趣的脑部扫描，例如（Alex Honnold-世界上最伟大的免费登山者）：

thought I was a loser because girls didn't like me and then woke up one day and realized that i'm a genius, a creative genius, how amusing is that, you think you are a loser for so long because you are focused on the wrong thing when the whole time you were actually a genius

我是世界上最伟大的procrastinator in college. I would leave deadlines so late that I'd write long papers the night before the due date. In fact, for 8am deadlines, I'd often start at 2am. My english teacher in college used to tell me that the 'pressure made me fresher' - I typically got all As.

Guessing/Odds games. I never knew how good I was at guessing numbers 1-10, playing higher or lower, roulette, etc. until I went on a casino cruise and turned $20 into $5000 playing roulette. I know technically it's luck. But, I refuse to believe that. Something just comes to me when I need to guess black or red. Visualization is key for me.
I have the high score at that punching arcade game at a bar somewhere in new orleans
for some reason dana white still won't return my calls
I remember trying that and damn near breaking my hand on the follow through. Never again
There was a ski-ball machine at a bar where I went to college. If you got a certain score you got a free pitcher of busch light, and someone I know never got a score beneath the cutoff so he always had basically $1 beer pitchers his entire time at school.
in a life or death situation I could probably give ameanhandjob

Public speaking. I'm somewhat reserved by nature and never really thought I was good at speaking in front of people because I'd always give awkward presentations in HS. But in freshmen year of college I took a public speaking course and managed to do really well in the class. I just forced myself to get over the nerves and pretended like I was confident until I was.
