Is it your age?
Your gender - well some people have a voice which doesn't match their gender?
Is it your hobbies/interests?
Your knowledge? Your attitude? The way you handle issues?
What is it that makes them sit up and notice you?
To be truthful people think I am very serious, but the one's close to me know I am fun loving.
Would you share with us what is your surprise element or hidden gift?
Edit
I am happy to have asked this question, I love your responses. Thank you from my heart. I enjoyed reading everyone of your responses.

I suspect it is my knowledge of how computers work in the wild.

@DocAndersen I think I had an idea about that, but I guess that might be a huge surprise for others.

@sofssu well I tried to sneak one past you. didn't work.
I think the thing that would surprise people most is that I am a huge romantic.

Nothing about people surprises anymore. It's why I tell my kids, if they have something to say ... say it! It won't shock me. I'm prepared for happy surprises and prepared for sad disappointments. When I get a gift I try to act surprised. It's the best I can do.

@sofssu - Nope. When I used to say that I had 11 kids people would always react in surprise. But that's not surprising. Open book? Nah! I'm pretty sure people don't even bother to open my book.

I do not know what other people think is surprising about me, I know that I am a good listener and have a reputation of being wise. But I think that is because I listen long enough for people to find an answer to their own problems and I get the thanks lol... Pehaps that is wisdom

Is it your age? Some times generally people think I am younger than I actually am... I get asked for my ID alllllll the time.
Your gender? I have a great likeness to my cousin (male) so again yes...
Is it your hobbies/interests? Yeah usually they look at me (pictured) and think "Oh hey you do arts at uni right." Which is very much a nope. I did do an arts subject and HATED it.
Your knowledge? Yeah especially about genetics, virology and immunology etc
What is it that makes them sit up and notice you? Probably the look on my face that says I don't want to draw attention to myself... Which of course people are drawn to like a magnet.

My memory is what usually surprises people. I pretty much remember everywhere I have ever been, what I ate and did.
