What is the best skill you possess that makes you stand above the average person?
Statistical modeling.
And yes, I am miffed about the use of the word “exponential” in this post’s title.
I got a PhD in philosophy. I have exponentially more experience applying for jobs and getting rejected than most people.
I was clearing out my Hotmail. I’ve a Msc in health psych. Well over 1k in reject emails. I may have a rival

So you’re asking people what they do for a living?
Doing something for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week makes you a lot better at that thing than other people.
But I don’t spend 40 hours doing the same thing. I do a bunch of different regular bullshit that you can’t really be “good” at, like sending emails and chatting with people on Teams.
Actually doing something for 40 hours a week is truly remarkable. People waste so much time, me included.
Man I’m so good at sleeping though. I get at least 5 hours a night, so that’s 40 a week! Woohoo!
/s
Where do you get an 8-day week? I want one (assuming it’s an extra break day not work day…).
Being comfortable enough with myself to answer this question honestly: nothing
Socializing with cats, befriending them.
Same, except with raccoons.
Not littering.
I am, without trying to sound arrogant, much better at cornering, roundabouts, and general driving than a large part of the population in Australia.
I can enter a roundabout, in a preselected gear, at appropriate revs and speed. Load up the suspension just right, so I’m released into my chosen exit, kissing the apex with a release of energy that feels so sweet, smooth and safe, that it’s a beautiful part of my life.
All within safe thresholds, and always when I know it’s safe. And the way others use roundabouts, it’s always safer than the general population.
You’re like an aussie Alan partridge
As a fellow Australian I think this is partly down to the equipment as well.
I can take a roundabout much faster and more confidently in my sports car with a low centre of gravity and performance tyres compared to an SUV with cheapo tyres like a large proportion of the population drives.
I’m guessing you also drive a car which is more performant than most on the road.
I’m an American who knows how to properly signal when going through a roundabout. This automatically makes me more knowledgeable than 99.99999% of American drivers.

Maybe not better than an average person, but the last 10 years of my life taught me lots of handy life skills, like owning up to my mistakes, having more self esteem, showing confidence in tough situations, standing up for myself, having better people skills and to know when not to get involved and when to speak up.
Most of these are basic human skills, but the combination of these can make a huge difference. I landed jobs thanks to them, I made friends and removed toxic people from my life. I have less issues with adult responsibilities and in general I am less stressed.
Again maybe not exceptionally more experienced than an average person, but compared to my old self its a huge difference.
Isn’t it kind of amazing how much better your life can be with the addition of those “soft” skills?
Anyone in this thread could probably just cite their career.
Bold of you to assume.
I suppose 😂
Locks, lockpicking, and teaching English grammar.
Who are you and how did you get in here?
Playing piano, and knowing too much about headphone gear and audio measurements
I can mould the old shower soap in to the new shower soap like an absolute boss.
How to handle multiple repeated panic attacks every day
Dang and here I thought nothing in this list would apply
Diagnosis, repair, and operation of CNC lasers, both flat plate cutting lasers and tube lasers.
I’m good at putting a needle inside people’s veins.
