What is your unique gift?

Question

If you know yourself well enough, what is it about yourself that makes you special?
Do you view it as a blessing or a curse?
We are not talking about a one time occurence.
You will recognize this thing about yourself once it begins to become a re-occuring part of your interactions with others.

Answer 1

Empathy.

It is both a blessing and a curse. I value it because it allows me to see the humanity in all kinds of people, strangers and friends. This in turn helps to make me a better person.

It is a curse because it is hard to turn off and sometimes the burden of knowing too much about how a person suffers is excutiating.

Answer 2

I am an intuitive teacher, healer, artist, scientist, and problem solver. I cannot separate any one thing from the others, as they are all roots of the same tree. It is both a blessing and a curse. I feel a lot of responsibility to the world, and sometimes powerless to act. I help lots of people in small ways, which is truly wonderful. I wouldn't trade my gifts for the world!

Answer 3

I always strive to show patience, tolerance, and concern for people at all levels (i.e. maturity and experience) and from all backgrounds. By creating an environment of openness and tolerance, people around me were/are always willing to say what they REALLY think, share new or unpopular ideas, and ask for help, regardless of their age or background. I show a personal interest in each person and provide positive motivation during stressful and any other times in their life. With respect to trust, I engage and relate easily to a diverse set of people and solicit their input regarding my own personal development. Hence, I'm truly a people person. It's both a blessing and a curse as I frequently become overwhelmed with all that's thrown at me and it becomes difficult to find the time when my genius gets to rest and recharge. But overall, it's all been worth it, especially when you know you've been referred to as the Hostess of the World.

Answer 4

I can drink 15-20 beers and not be hungover. It can be a blessing and a curse - no hangovers but more drinking than is healthy. Its certainly a re-occurring part of my interactions with others. :)

Answer 5

My unique gift is a combo of honesty and empathy with a touch of realism. I listen to the world around me and I learn from it. It truly is amazing what you can learn when you do that. people feel a need to share their problems and hardships stories with me, I guess I just have one of those faces. for example, I was sitting at a bus and this lady approaches me and starts telling me about how she dumped gas on her ex and tried to light him on fire. apparently she just got out of prison for it. I could give more examples but I would like to respect the people who shared with me privacy. I view this as both a blessing and a curse because when I can help them out it is a blessing, when I can't do anything it is a curse.

Answer 6

I am a morale builder. yes, I have noticed it in me and in the reactions of my acquaintances over the years. In my presence (no boasting), an air of confidence, trust and belief hangs around. I have this ability of solving others' personal problems, including social and psychological, and leaving my addressees most of the time satisfied or even happy with themselves. I have the talent of understanding others fully, even to the extent that makes me feel I am in their shoes and can see the angle they look at things from. Hence, I am able to give them genuine solutions that are within their abilities, liking and suit their needs.
I am not a professional psychiatrist or fortune teller and the like. I am a humble, normal person who listens sincerely and interestingly to others and with all the honesty I feel in my heart, I try to help them solve their problems for free, and for no personal gain or profit.

And yes, I consider it a blessing, one that I am not abusing or exploiting. That's why it continues to give the same positive results every time.

Answer 7

Self knowledge is the key to all greatness and I have the knowledge. I am also a psychic and my gift so far is to see future events before they happen. To fully understand my gift, you must understand me and my theory of having it. It actually makes since. But Self knowledge is a big door to travel through to become "psychic".

Answer 8

I know the unknowable... not always, and sometimes the details are a little shakey, But i just know things, and I dont know why! does that make sense? And sure, it's helpful to me, other people think i'm full of crap, until they find out I was right.

Answer 9

And what is your unique gift?? Stating the obvious?

Answer 10
