Apart you say? I can turn anything into an innuendo. I like to say it's my super power....one of several that serve no purpose....much like my ability to state the obvious.

Not sure I have one to be honest. I’m a bit old fashioned in that I listen to others (probably due to my job) and have a very childish sense of humour. I suppose I quickly suss people out and am very rarely wrong. Good judge of character in real life

This is a hard one cause it's easy to come off sounding prideful or conceited...but I'll give it a shot I guess. I think for me, I genuinely and passionately care about others. I often find myself standing up for and protecting those who may be vulnerable, feel misunderstood or unloved, and the outcast. As a result, I haven't always fit in with the "in" crowd, the people who ridicule or hurt others for their own enjoyment, and am myself often misunderstood. I've been told that my actions in watching out for others paint me as looking arrogant, judgmental or better than others. It can be a lonely attribute to possess. To find more acceptance I've tried to either not care and keep my mouth shut or even join in the banter; none of those paths have ever felt good and I feel compelled to stand up and be that friend, that person who cares, building up those who have been torn down. It took me most of my life to figure out how to put those tendencies into words and it wasn't until the movie 'American Sniper' that really helped me define how I've felt about myself for so long. Here it is:
“Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn’t exist in the world, and if it ever darkened their doorstep, they wouldn’t know how to protect themselves. Those are the sheep.”
“Then you’ve got predators, who use violence to prey on the weak. They’re the wolves.”
“And then there are those blessed with the gift of aggression, an overpowering need to protect the flock. These men are the rare breed who live to confront the wolf.”
“They are the sheepdog.”
It's hard describing this to people because most people don't get it and like I said earlier either believe I'm being conceited or pretentious. No doubt there will be those who will read this and think some of those same things. And truthfully, if you feel that way you're entitled to your opinion so I can't hold that against you. But in reality, I couldn't be more sincere. My name, friendlystorm tries to describe just that. Anyways, this is way too long as it is. But thanks for the opportunity for self-reflection Lilly

Doesn’t strike me as self centred or conceited mate. You’re a good egg.
Mm I would say my ability to be a social chameleon
Alot of people sorta stay confined into one like-minded group of aquaintances or friends.
I feel like my ability to be relatable and easily blend into most social settings, helps me befriend people from all walks of life. Then find our similarities when we're 1on1.
My antics in public is so silly, it's hard for some to imagine that Im a deep person in private. But thats why we have to look past a person's cover sometimes. Give time to pull back layers and see whats underneath.

Bravo and thank you from the human species!
I think my abillity to understand everyones opinion, actions, reasons, feelings etc. But at the same time, that abillity makes it hard to understand me.
seem to always see the positive

I tend to have a wicked, usually inappropriate, sense of humour. Got me into a lot of trouble previously. But also got me out of situations that could have ended badly too.

My ability to not stress over things. It isn’t not caring it’s just being able to put things into perspective.

I am empathetic... Like I can feel and understand others"?' emotions so much, it starts to impact me as well.
I'm also incredibly patient. Which makes my next skill all the more easier to perform...
De-escalation and mediation. I am really good at relationship and bridge building, and helping people resolve conflicts.

Sex...lack of specifically...I have a rather high sex drive, I spent 20 years with someone my polar opposite in that regard, I love her dearly, but am much happier outside of that relationship(I believe she is as well) at this point. It made us both miserable in reality, the mismatch of our love language and desire level, it was the cause of all of our arguments. I don't believe I could put myself through that again....also, put the fucking dishes in the dishwasher....and don't drive around with one window down where it causes that annoying pulsating sound...petty, I know, but...I have to find something besides just the lack of sex right?
