What are you lousy at?

What are you lousy at?
It's pretty common on the internet to play to our strengths - everyone likes accolades and admiration.  But what are the things at which you stink, or at least the things at which you wish you were better?

For myself, I'm an awful chess player.  I know the moves, the theories behind the game, I've even had good chess players try to coach me.  I fancy myself a pretty bright fella, but this is one thing I just can't seem to get the hang of.

I'm lousy at accounting and everything associated with it. I'm not troubled in the least by it, and it has kept me from being a club officer many times, Praise Jesus !!

I'm really lousy at picking up on non verbal and visual cues from women. I hope I haven't PO'd too many women with that, it's not deliberate. I wasn't even aware of the issue till a few years ago, so there would be quite a few of the fairer sex out there that have wondered if they were suddenly cursed with invisibility.

Tending to other people. If I'm on a job, I like to kind of go on autopilot. Like mowing the grass, doing dishes, working at a factory. Following someone around, and being their helper is not something I'm good at, which is why my dad always gets angry with me despite wanting me to help him do manual labor. Either because I'm cheaper, and will put up with his shit, or because he's trying to teach me stuff he thinks will help me in life.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Snapping my fingers, weirdly enough.

Also, judging distances and heights. I'm completely terrible at that.

Talking about myself when the format is "Talk about yourself." Talking at all when I meet someone new. Waking up. Life.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I can't whistle and apparently that is common amongst the Gay

I can't hula-hoop to save my life.

I have to consciously think about which is left and right (I was the only left-handed kid in my kindergarten class, so my teacher would say, "the right hand is the one you WRITE with" as a pneumonic to help us remember left and right, but it just fucked me up, haha).

I am horrible at estimating distance and time.

Being productive when I'm supposed to be productive. I tend to spend most of the "work day" bouncing around on the internet, reading, or playing a game, then do all my work later in the evening.

No matter how hard I try, I have never successfully licked my own elbow. I can lick other people's elbows, but my own remains unlicked. I must go through life never knowing what my elbow tastes like :'(

I hate small talk and don't feel like I fake it very well, so unless it's a professional setting and I'm forced to, I usually open up conversations with things like "Did you know the circumference of the moon is about the same as driving from L.A. to New York and back?" or "How different do you think sex feels for a guy with and without a condom on?" or "What are your feelings on [political/social issue]?"
