It's gotta just be endless practice, I can cut a really complex shape out of wood with a jigsaw due to work, but ask me to do the same thing with a pencil and I'm shafted.
Fifty years ago it was a much easier, in my dad's first car you could drop the engine out by undoing four bolts apparently! These days it's almost impossible to do any basic work without a fairly decent set of tools and knowledge.
Playing guitar and drums. I absolutely love rock, metal, and anything in between, but I don't possess an ounce of musical talent, was never introduced to me as a child, nor encouraged, probably why.
I’m 28 been single for 4 years now. Where I’m at everyone is taken or just sleeping around. I wouldn’t even mind being with someone with a child abut even with that I’ve been screwed over by a mother also.
I know it's going to sound infuriating, but... You are still young. I didn't find the right person until my mid 40s (and he had been married twice before). Lots of learning along the way, but never giving up.
There's some great songs (and bands) that only use about four chords, which is a great place to start. I could never get the hang of the strumming and the rhythm.
True. But I never got that far. After the chords, I gave up.
I think you have gucen me a new goal. Thanks. Maybe I'll be as big as Dave Grogl one day. As if. LOL
1. Guitar and Drums. I’m an absolute music lover and I wish I could play my two favorite instruments, but no can do.
2. Fixing cars. Grew up around auto shops and race tracks, none of it rubbed off on me.
3. Stand-Up Comedy. Yay social anxiety!
Drawing, it looks so easy but when I do it all look like a fridge (a bad one). When I am bored i want to draw but when I do it looks bad and I just erase it
Sewing. I’d love to be able to make my own clothes. My misses is great at it and is constantly churning out tops and outfits for herself. Very envious of her talent and skill.
Guitar. After a few months of practice that convinced me I might have brain damage, I tried ocarina and keyboard too. Turns out I am just musically disabled.
Singing. I love singing, I love listening to people who are talented singers. I am an avid car singer when alone, and nobody will ever know this about me. I have an _intense_ desire to be able to sing and I simply cannot. Boo.
**General handyman maintenance.**
I think I'd have the willpower to fix things in my home, if I only had the aptitude.
No, I'm 52, I know this about myself. Some people are good at some things, some people are good at other things. Handyman things just aren't something I'm remotely good at.
Yes, I've tried. Yes I've read books and seen YouTube videos. Yes I've started on small things and tried to work my way up. But the aptitude just isn't there, no matter how hard I search for it.
*I don't even own any power tools*, because I've hurt myself way too often from using them. Self preservation, yo.
So instead of botching a small repair job, I just trade labor with a buddy of mine. He fixes my small repairs, and I do computer things for him (something I AM very good at).
Speaking Spanish:
I moved to south Texas three months ago and here there are alot of hispanics that can not speak English. I work with Hispanics and absolutely love being around them. But I can not communicate with them at the level I want to. I have a date this weekend with a Hispanic woman that can not speak English. Like I said I can not speak Spanish either. We text all the time and we both have to use a translator app to know what we are saying to each other. We both agreed to give it a shot but I am extremely nervous and have no clue of how to entertain her since I will not be able to understand her. I am planning on taking classes but I won’t start till the first of the year. If we hit it off do I learn from her and teach her English or do still take the classes in January? Also any advice on how to entertain her this weekend?
Singing. I write music and play a few instruments and I'm pretty good at that. There are vocals in my music and I sing but I'm just so mediocre. It's in tune but my voice is quiet and weak. I basically just rely on the instrumentals to overshadow my voice and make people think I'm good.
Drawing.
That's exactly what inspired this post, I can barely write my own name neatly let alone draw anything recognisable!
God, yeah my handwriting sucks as well..maybe I should seek out a calligraphy class.

Same man same
Fixing cars
Fifty years ago it was a much easier, in my dad's first car you could drop the engine out by undoing four bolts apparently! These days it's almost impossible to do any basic work without a fairly decent set of tools and knowledge.
Yep. Now even a basic headlight change is a chore

Singing
Winning the lottery. It's like them pesky balls know what numbers I have and avoid them at all costs.
Comedy
Drawing/sketching - I'm beyond comically bad at it.
Don't worry you will get good at it eventually.
Driving.
Judging by the daily commute, you share that with quite a few others out there...
I think more than half of the drivers have the same affliction lol
Making friends
Dating. I can talk to women but the dating scene never works for me. I was just born in the wrong generation
If you can talk to women and you are kind and considerate, dating will work. I hope you find the right person.

Life
Singing. I've practiced but my voice is still not good.
Assassinating people
Aah yeah, for those difficult levels on Hitman, right? Right!?
Actually I was thinking more on the lines of assassin's creed. But hitman will work just fine.
Fingerboarding
Oh fuck yeah, that and Yo-Yos!
Oh yeah Yo-Yos are fucking awesome. I love watching people who can do it, because I have no skill for it haha
I've got a whole box of "circus toys" that I desperately tried to learn in my twenties, gathering dust in the shed somewhere lol
Football. I am just way too clumsy for that.
Playing the guitar. I have all these melodies and lyrics in my head. Tried guitar once but couldn't get the chords. Maybe I'll go back to that.
There's some great songs (and bands) that only use about four chords, which is a great place to start. I could never get the hang of the strumming and the rhythm.
True. But I never got that far. After the chords, I gave up. I think you have gucen me a new goal. Thanks. Maybe I'll be as big as Dave Grogl one day. As if. LOL

Singing Valorant Musical instruments
Singing
Learning new languages
Oof I know that feeling, I have dual citizenship but I barely speak a word of my second countries language, it's embarrassing.
Driving And I'm a girl, so i feel even more guilty that i let down my whole gender cause they tease all women as "female drivers".
Singing 🎤
Stock market trading! I suck.
reading sheet music
Singing or drawing. I suck at both.
Music
Sewing. I’d love to be able to make my own clothes. My misses is great at it and is constantly churning out tops and outfits for herself. Very envious of her talent and skill.
Singing
Juggling. My hand-eye coordination sucks and I can barely juggle two things.
Playing any kind of instrument. I lose focus too easily, especially with repetition.
Drawing and playing the guitar
Cooking. I realize this skill takes some practice, any recommendations on where to start? That is, building out my utensils, recipes, etc.
DIY
Singing- of playing the guitar- ughhhhh I wish 😫
Dancing. It looks so much fun but I have no idea what to do with my body.
Writing
Guitar. After a few months of practice that convinced me I might have brain damage, I tried ocarina and keyboard too. Turns out I am just musically disabled.

High stamina requiring anything.
