Singing. I love music and have a good sense of rhythms, but the tone of my voice is so random, I can't sing for my life - that doesn't stop me, though.

Nearly all “talents” are just skills and way more learnable than people want to admit. Just think about all the work that you (likely if you’re reading this) put into learning to code and use a computer. It’s not a talent you were born with. Whether it felt like work or not is another matter.

Singing, drawing, shooting a basketball, whatever, are things that can be learned. No, you’re not going to be Fred Astaire, Da Vinci, or Steph Curry. But your skill can be developed far beyond what feels possible today if you’re willing to put the work in.

Most people just aren’t willing to put the work in, so it’s easier to wish for a “talent.”

Sleeping while annoying or stimulating things are happening. Like sleeping on a windy beach or sleeping through an interesting movie.

I have friends who can do that, and it seems like they're always ready for the next adventure. It get the feeling this is related to the fact that they slept through the most recent thing we did that wasn't as adventure-ish.

I hope it's a talent or at least something that can be developed because I want to be able to do that someday...

I’ve gotten a huge amount of book knowledge on the psychology, sociology, history, literature of love, relationships, attraction, seduction, etc.

I just need to put it into practice.
