I am really bad at losing weight and terrible at resisting junk food. People tell me they're somehow related... :rolleyes:
 
Im a terrible public speaker. I get too nervous and shakey. I already have poor communication skills, so having to speak to multiple people who are all facing me is challenging : p

With music, I can write a melody fine, but I cant come up with lyrics. So, anything that involves words, like lyrics or poetry, its definitely not a talent of mine, haha.
 
Anything that requires strengths, stamina or coordination.
- Running ten meters to catch up with the bus has me breathing so hard I almost gag :p
and it seems no matter how long I am doing something, I never ever get any better (Really!)

My hand writing is barely readable (you might want an interpreter)

Planning / being methodical. - I just do stuff ... which causes trouble when I do programming :p

Another thread for giggles, hopefully.

What things are you bad at? What things, no matter how hard you try or how many times you've tried to do them, you just can't do?

I'm not a good housekeeper. I can get the big chunks and run the vacuum, but beyond that...not so much.

I can't bake. If it's more complicated than cooking tube biscuits in the oven, I am hosed.

I have ZERO athletic ability. I can't catch anything. I run like a spaz.

I can't look other people in the eye. It freaks me out. I fake it, and get away with it most of the time.



...how about you?

-- .html and CSS. (To the point I don't even care if there is a newer language for websites.)

-- Photoshop. Not. Even. Ever!

-- Anything that requires mechanical aptitude. To the point that I think 90% success rate for changing a light bulb is GREAT!

-- Speaking a cohesive sentence. (I can ramble until I get it all out, but rambling is required. And I have aphasia, so I'm thinking the word "dive" and understand its meaning, but am apt to say "divide" instead. Also happens in writing, but 50% of the time, if I proof it, I see what I did wrong, and the other 50% of the time, people think they're reading typos, so not as bad.)

-- Spacial awareness. Somewhere in having no sense of direction, having no ability to judge the difference between a foot and a yard, and having cocked-eyes, so I really don't get depth perception like most people, I can't, for the life of me, pick out a rug that would fit in my living room without counting the tiles in the ceiling. (Each tile is 2 feet by 2 feet, so I can count.) I had no idea I was going to hit that table walking by. I have no idea if a lamp will fit on a table, until I put it on the table. AND, I have no idea what I'm doing in my garden now that I've decided to rearrange it. (Container garden in a cement yard, so it can be rearranged.)

On the good side of this, I have the answer to one of your problems. I'm cocked-eyed. If I'm looking at you, only one eye is looking at you. The other is looking about 4 feet away from you (ceiling tiles helped me figure out how far again lol) to the left or right. So, even if I'm looking at you in the eyes, you're never really sure I am, so you can focus on the weirdness of my eyes, instead of having to deal with looking me in the eye. AND it will feel completely normal to me, because everyone gets busy trying to figure out where I'm looking until they figure that out about me. (I'm usually nice, and let the person know who I'm looking at/which eye I'm using if more than one person is in the room. lol)

Terrible bowler I go to roll the ball down the lane and release it on the back swing...look out behind me....Terrible and if the ball managed to hit the lane then usually a gutter ball... Therefore I hate bowling and usually refuse to do it....

Ah, man! I'd take hitting the person behind me compared to what I do. I bruise my knee. lol

I am bad at being subordinate to anyone else. I challenge the authority of others almost constantly. It's been the biggest source of tension for me at jobs I have worked in the past. Never been fired yet, thank goodness, but I've been really close a few times.

I am bad at "playing nice" with people I don't know. I can't just laugh at somebody's joke to keep a social interaction running smoothly. I take a long, long time to warm up to others.

I can't work steadily at anything. I procrastinate until the last minute then have a marathon session of work. I don't know why.

The last one? Same here, but I know why. I'd rather have fun than work, so when it comes down to having to work, I then can double-time.

I am bad at speaking... lol I have a very bad tendency to speak extremely fast, causing no one to understand what i am saying. You have no idea how many times I have been told to "just slow down about 5 miles."
I am very bad in social situations. I do not like small talk, or parties when I know no one there. In fact, just dont bring me at all.
Um.... I have very bad hand writing.
I am a perfectionist (idk if thats bad or not though..."
I cannot open my back door.
I cannot cook. The best I can do is throwing a piece of cheese onto some roman noodles and call it pasta
i cannot take Kylo Ren seriously after seeing that "Matt the Radar technician" skit on Snl.

Seeing your avatar, I find your first one funny. I had a coworker named Cat who talked so fast it would take me a minute to catch up to everything she said. I was still working on it, when she said, "Well?"

Then I told her what I was doing. When I caught up, I could answer her. She seemed please that I didn't tell her to slow down, but there was always a long pause between what she said and how I answered. Felt like a roller coaster to everyone else, but it worked for us. lol

I have found, that when I clean my desk, I do not like it. I then purposfully make it messy again. When it is clean I just cant stand it... I really dont know why lol

Clean is when there is no dirt on it. Messy is the proper response to having a desk. :p
