What makes you exceptional or special?

I'm not being snotty, that question is, "What makes you SO special."  I'm serious.  I am exceptional (1 in about 2,000) in that I overcame poverty and a very unhappy childhood (7 Adverse Childhood Experiences) to live a normal, average, middle-class American life as an adult.  I can provide statistics to strengthen that claim if you're skeptical.  I feel pretty good about all this. Yay!

    !!!!Congratulations!!! 
    That truly is exceptional and outstanding.  You didn't feel sorry for yourself or take advantage of the system. You found your self-worth and knew you could make a difference... and did!!
    Truly Good for you and Yay for us to have the pleasure of knowing you. :) :)

    And I mean that in a positive way, not a snotty one! :) :)

    I couldn't tell you. That is for others to decide, and I have never asked anyone.

    I have lived on social security, no other income, for twelve years and I have saved more than I ever earned in a year.

    I have found that I have a unique ability that allows everyone to be who they are and not be embarrassed by that one simple fact.
    In all actuality... it's not me who has the ability...
    it is all of you who shine through...

    I just sit back and glow with happiness when you do!

    That's all.  It's not me... It IS you!!!

    Well I have tracking skills which is a little un common these days but what really makes me special is I can examine an animals droppings and tell a lot about the animal and the animals habits - very few people can do that . Cheers and happy weekend! This post was edited by Nanoose at December 16, 2018 7:31 AM MST

    I'm not sure if I should applaud you or be worried about an odd obsession.  Either way, that is a unique quality I am sure I've never met anyone to have had.  Congratulations!!  And Cheers and Happy Weekend to you, too! :) :)

    Ya I originally started learning that stuff in the 80's because I thought society was going to collapse and or the Russians were going to invade North America. Pretty sure the skills will help me survive a zombie apocalypse too. Cheers and happy weekend.
