I saw a Reddit post about real-life skills people learned from gaming. The comments were interesting and included several skills I hadn't considered previously. Here is a list of some of my favorites from the post.
- Learned to speak and love English (also reading comprehension)
- Typing
- Anger Management (Emotional Regulation)
- Teamwork, both managing and participating in a team
- Communication Skills
- Social Skills
- Problem-Solving
- Resource Management (supply chain logistics)
- Learning quickly
- Strategic Thinking (Analytic Thinking)
- Hand-Eye Coordination
- Perseverance
- Patience
- Multitasking
- Self-Confidence
- Driving Skills and Reflexes
- Reading Maps (plus using a compass)
- Recognizing Scams
- Sportsmanship (being a good winner and loser)
- Appreciation for Architecture and History
- Breaking down larger goals into smaller goals
- Programming (Coding)
- Vocabulary
- Attention to Details
- Reaction Time

Some of these have some redundancy or overlap similar ideas, but I wanted to capture them all for personal reasons. Thanks for reading and I hope you found this useful.
