You assume too much. I have a background in graphic design (I had a side gig small business doing desktop publishing in the late 80s, early 90s). I also am an amateur musician with quite a bit of vintage synthesizer and audio processing gear. Beyond that, I do wood working, creative writing (I've been published in two short story compilations) and can cook very well.
At parties, let's just say I can always engage just about anyone on many, many topics and friends/people I work with consult with me more often then they google something because I can explain what they need to know in a more digestible form than a search result can. I think I'm quite well rounded in my personality and education.
Okay dude, let me just say that YOU'RE a FREAK of NATURE.
You really are, with most situations like that (the limited info I had) it would have been a pretty safe assumption, I've known people like you but believe me they are extremely rare.
As they say, God doesn't give with both hands. You're the exception to the rule.
Your problem is gonna be pride and I bet it is, I bet you wrestle with it.
As the puritans would say about someone like you, "they know themselves too well."
God gave me the ability to learn. I had to do the rest of the work to make it useful. I was born curious and with enough grey matter to explore many areas and topics. I find it fun because I do love to learn and it rarely leaves me bored.
You're a cut above most, but you'll have to watch for pride (because as you know it goes before a fall).
