I think that a lot of people may not know the difference between being talented at something and being skilled at something.
I suppose that I am a gifted learner. I am highly observant and I think deeply about whatever it is I think about (which is sometimes a bad thing). I take mental notes on everything I see, and I am very analytical, so I have found that I am able to understand a lot of things (even things I shouldn't know about, if that makes sense) faster than most people simply because of the combination of my observant nature and my capacity for deductive reasoning. This "talent" has caused me a lot of problems in life though; it's a gift and a curse. I was very arrogant about it for a long time (my username is a memento of those days), and after I got over my arrogance I became deeply depressed (I probably still am tbh) because I realized how much I had thrown away by being so arrogant.
