The things that come easy to you feel like nothing. Ask a friend what you’re good at. You might be underselling it.

Your own strengths are the hardest ones to see, because they cost you nothing to use. Effort is what you notice, so a skill that arrives easily registers as ordinary and you quietly assume everyone has it, which is how people end up undervaluing precisely the thing they are best at. Other people see it clearly because they can see the contrast.

Ask two people what they think you are good at, and resist arguing with the answers. Write them down even if they seem too obvious to count. Treat the list as information rather than as flattery you have to deflect.
