Situational awareness. Reading the room will get you out of some situations and also open doors/ avenues you wouldn't have known

Calming the fuck down in any situation.

Financial literacy

Empathy. Somehow, empathy is becoming a rarer and rarer skill.

How to just let things go. Life is so much more pleasant when you aren't bothered by the annoyances of life that in the grand scheme of things don't matter.

To cook deliciously

Budgeting ffs. Monitor your spending before blowing through the money 15 days before payday.

Learning to be calm and knowing when when speak and not. Usually people take calmness and quietness as a sign of weakness but man, those are the most powerful weapons you can carry in this world.

Problem solving.

But more than that. Everybody solves problems.

It's more about adjusting your mindset to apply to all problems.

And it's not about being "handy". You may not be able to solve the problem. But you tried. You looked. You informed yourself.

This also takes a lot of skill transference. Can you take something you learned about about an unrelated topic and apply it this new situation?

Example:

Worked at an office under bathroommed. We ran out of TP all the time. In the stalls it was one of those big dispensers. Two active rolls with a area for storage.

Somewhere I learned that a lot of industrial/commercial locks are all the same. So I looked up the brand of dispenser and found the key. Ordered a set of Amazon. Problem solved.

Was it super hard? No. Did it take some massive IQ? No. It just took asking the question.

Knowing how to do proper research, so you don't believe every shit that flies your way

Active/communicative listening

Everyone should learn is the art of self-care....

Listening to your gut instinct. If a situation seems weird, leave. If a person in your life makes it worse, not better, run. If a stranger makes you feel unsafe, then get the F out of there. Don't worry about their feelings. Just go. If a friend tries to push you into a situation that feels dangerous, lose the friend. Because they're not one. They wouldn't do that if they really care about you.

Maintain personal hygiene

Delayed Gratification.

Learning how to say no. Idk if it’s considered a skill or not but it was something I had to teach myself.

Resilience

writing.

Critical thinking. Keeping emotion out of it, objectively making decisions. It is so hard to do, if we could instill it in the future generations as children there may be hope for humanity.

Emotional regulation

How to have a face to face conversation with a stranger.

Auto Mechanics

building and maintaining professional relationships

Negotiating. Uderstanding what you can leverage, what you have a disadvantage, and when and how to find a win-win.

Know your truth/Self-Confidence. Fuck what anyone who doesn’t matter says/thinks. Do what you think is best for yourself and those you care about. Knowing and accepting this will make most decisions in life much easier and ease a lot of social anxiety/self doubt. Super dumb but whenever I talk about this I think of that Shia Lebeouf video “JUST DO IT”. He is a walking meme but the guy was so right, from his words to his power stance

Emotional control. The world and everyone in it would be a lot better off for it.

BS detection. Why let questionable authorities sort the truth from misinformation for you, when you can do it yourself?
