The Easiest Thing You Suck At?

[Tumah]

This is Pink, and this is Purple.

Your struggle reminded me of something. I can't memorize all organization of alphabetical letters without singing them in my head first. Sure, i know D is after C, and you can ask me that any time and i'll tell you. Even that G is after F, and some other key points all through. I obviously know that P is before Q, for example.

But ask me what's the letter before H for example, or what's the letters before and after S, and other such questions, and i need to sing it quick in my head first just to make sure. The same is true for Arabic alphabet, only it's even harder for me there, somehow.

I reallllyyy hope that's true for everybody...

I can't write a simple, handwritten note without several drafts if I don't want scratch-outs on it. (I seem to only have dried out White-Out around a lot.)

A simple note to a teacher for the kids, or a request for excuse for absence from being sick, often takes several attempts. I'll leave out a word, or make an error when writing words I know how to spell.

Or... if using unlined paper -- everything will be bunched up at the top, my lines looking like they are taking off for flight, or I run out of room and try to squeeze in a whole sentence where there is only room for one word.

I have always struggled with Mathematics and have a terrible sense of direction thank God for GPS(even though it tries to murder me)

Oh, that's an easy fix. Turn over your GPS to expose its back side.
Move the sliding switch from "evil" to "good".

Btw, new Boondocks season soon!

I tried but it just keeps saying "I'm afraid I can't do that" Its also starting to show other A.I. tendencies...maybe I should get the EMPs ready

Btw, new Boondocks season soon!

I know! My afro's bouncing joy

I took private lessons as a kid aimed specifically at improving my handwriting, and they did. But once i stopped, i reverted gradually back to my 6 year old handwriting, and stayed there.

One time, my cousin who had been just engaged presented me with a notebook that was for people to write special memorable words for her and her fiance, as some sort of a collection of people's congratulatory words for them. This required me to come up with something special on the spot, and to muster up my absolute best handwriting, which wasn't too distinguishable from my absolute worst. Just looking through a few pages i knew i was vastly outmatched, seeing people with decorated and awesome handwriting having already left excellent notes.

So i asked her to give me a minute and stood in the corner, overcome with panic, took about 15 minutes instead of 1, and finally just wrote what i could think of, which was two brief, uncreative notes (one for each) written in shaky handwriting with a scratched-out word as a bonus (the only note that contained a scratched out word in the whole notebook). I gave her the notebook and laughed nervously and said that i had nothing to rest the notebook on so the handwriting sucked, which didn't seem to have any significant effect on her enthusiasm to see the note and to show it to everybody.

That's one thing i'm actually awesome at.

I can't whistle either. At all.

That's about what my handwriting looks like, a six year-old's, just in script.

When it came time to handle my wedding details, my sisters were helping me. I mentioned that I thought it would be best for one of them with a prettier hand-writing to address the wedding invitations.

One of my sisters looked at me like I had lost my mind, and said something like, "There is no way we are going to let you do it."

I can only muster a cute, soft, high-pitched whistle. Sort of. I sometimes wonder if I'm made to whistle at a frequency that only dogs can hear.

Up until the last minute there i thought they were going to say that you must do it.

They sound very caring.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

I have a problem keeping my end of conversations with strangers. Especially people like cab drivers, clerks at shops, waiters, etc. Usually, when they say something to me it's generic and aimed at passing the time, but for some reason i struggle with coming up with responses to those things quickly enough. So what happens often is that i just smile or fake a mild laugh, and hope that they don't say anything else.

Unfortunately, many times it ends up being just the beginning of a string of generic stuff, to which i keep smiling, while struggling deeply to come up with anything. When i do come up with something, i almost always think "WTF did i just say?" afterwards.

Like many people, i also have a problem with not laughing when something mildly unfortunate happens to someone, like if they trip or something. I try to restrain it, but that moment of total lack of control makes me laugh almost every time (even when it happens to me), and sometimes at incredibly unacceptable contexts.

Two other things i mentioned before are, i suck at using public bathrooms (a very serious struggle for me), and apparently suck at making that heart gesture with the hand thing. i can't seem to do it without shaking and making the angles too severe.

I know how you feel when it comes to keeping your end in conversations, but for me it is only those kind of people and people that I knew for a long time I tend to not have any problem with.

^ Terrible at Math
^ Lacks any sort of sense of direction
^ Can whistle... if you include a sound like air escaping from a tire as whistling.

This thread is doing wonders for my hubris.

I don't have that problem with people i know well either, and especially friends.

It's most specifically apparent with the examples i've given and other strangers, and less so but still considerably, people i know but not very well, even if for a long time.

I also have terrible hand-writing. If I really slow down and put effort into each letter, they look alright, but even then, the words get gradually worse and worse as I go along.

I still remember one day in poetry class in college where I had to write something on the board, I dont even remember what it was, but it looked so bad, such big sloppy letters and I think some of the students reacted and my teacher looked over at it and was just like "Oh..."

 

[Breathe]

I have the CryTek engine on my computer.
And I can't do anything with it.

It's supposed to be really easy, so there's another thing I suck at. :yes:
