That's hilarious to me because, partly because I suck at brevity,
I excel at list-making.
Indeed, I am obsessive-compulsive about listing.
I could probably win a contest.
I have literally found myself buried in drifts of paper, that are lists I have made.
It's very sad.

Recognizing a POE, troll, fake, fraud. I can't believe how gullible I am sometimes.
Making first impressions. People politely tell me I'm an acquired taste. Arrogant, asshole, diva, untrustworthy, intimidating, I get these a lot in the beginning.
you do a great job.
I do not suck at being gullible, either. I excel at being gullible.
And all my life people have thought that I think I'm better than everyone else,
when it's usually the opposite. I always think other people's opinions are worth more than my own,
simply because they belong to other people. But I get the "arrogant" label, too.

You follow the recipe and it doesn't work.
You ask an expert and they say, maybe the self-raising flour had a different amount of bicarbonate.
Maybe the oven was a little too high or low.
Maybe human error?
Like fuck!
I say, throw those fancy fucking stupid biscuit recipes in the bin.
Waste of time and product.
It drives me fucking crazy.
Anyone mentions gluten-free and I'm pulling the trigger.
Put the gun down, Lunch.
Tea biscuits are not worth it.

Which is the exact opposite of most of society is doing. So kudos to you.

Funny you should mention that. There's a garden supply store here that recently put a sign out front: 'Cement Garden Curbing - Guaranteed Gluten-Free.'

Shyness. Fortunately the Internet plays on many of my Thought Proccesses, giving me the ability to revise every word I say. It also makes sure I speak at the same volume everyone else does, so no embarrassment after being asked "What did you Say?"

Sing or draw.
I suck dramatically at both.

Singing, spelling, and proofing. I'm really good at getting absorbed and losing track of time though.

Chatting up the opposite sex...if there happens to be anything beyond platonic/professional interest at play. The absolute best I can do is mumble incoherently or give one word responses. This leads interested males to to conclude that I have no interest in them...or that I'm a lunatic.
