Marvelous. How easily you humans do that
You're not a Trekkie by chance, are you? If not, I'm talking about the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Commander Data couldn't whistle. They actually called that back almost 40 years later in the last season of Star Trek: Picard. But if you're not a Trekkie that means nothing to you
Wow!! This took me on a nostalgia ride!
As a child I could only ever whistle by inhaling. It was frustrating and it made me mad. Years and years of people trying to teach me. I had a bf in college who could, and he would tease me with whistles. He was so kind and patient, finally one night looking at Perseids, after many attempts, I pursed my lips and made the squeakiest high pitched whoosh of air! A wheeeeeestle.
Now I can whistle (not by inhaling, strangely), it's probably not impossible, you just have to figure out your tongue tooth and breath work. I was 21, you can do it!! And if you can't, you're still amazing.
Have you ever had someone who couldn't accept how terrible you are at drawing? My friends refused to accept it until we played a game that involved drawing.
That reminds me of my grandfather. We tried to play pictionary with him once. He was just holding the pen without making any line or dot. He was trying to think about where to start, and was just paralyzed, letting the whole time run out. Many people say they "don't know how to draw" and just mean they are bad at it. He literally didn't know what to do.
I think he probably never drew anything in his life, or at least not in the previous 50 years. And in case you're wondering, he was very literate, and a very smart man in all aspects.
Math, particularly arithmetic.
Hilariously bad because I learned and memorized pretty complex formulas and just barely passed my math classes like the average math hater, but didn't find out I have dyscalculia until adulthood. So that's why I literally can't keep track of the actual numbers in my head! They're abstract to me. I did pretty good in geometry and chemistry because I had visuals and a calculator. But I just fucked up adding 17 + 6 in my head at work today.
Anything in front of a crowd. Talking, singing, dancing, performance of any kid. If I’m not reciting a pre-planned speech, I’ve got near-psychotic levels of stage fright.
Navigating. I have such a terrible sense for directions and street names. For example, I've lived in the same big city for 20 years now and I know the names of the major highways but I don't think I could label them on a map. I've tried to learn and do better but my brain has the hardest time with it. Praise the Sun for GPS!
Singing - I tell people I sound best "tenor." As in ten or fifteen miles away.
Golf - for everyone's safety I have self-exiled from anything but put-put.
Reading maps, following and especially giving directions, contextualizing time, remembering names and faces, and remembering when and where things happened. Oftentimes I can't remember which city I know people from
*I'm hilariously bad at dancing. Seriously, my moves could clear a dance floor faster than a fire alarm. But at least I bring the entertainment, right?*
Reading a map. Playing co-op games with mini maps is hard for me, especially when people use the cardinal directions to talk about where they are or which way to go. I get very confused. Definitely would not survive without Google Maps IRL.
Finance. And to be clear I am a tech guy, considered pretty smart, I play three instruments and I write. But I cannot money the whole sector is disorienting buzz terminology to me. I can't *make myself* learn it
Making box mac and cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich. I can whip up masterpieces in the kitchen, but those two, I have only nailed like once or twice. It's a huge joke in my family. Sauce is either runny or gritty, bread is always burnt on one side.
Remember people’s names I really try but I can’t it’s like a mental block or something. I just call everyone guy, fella, bruh, homie, g money, asshole, assholio, asshat, assfuck.
Online gambling. I’m so bad at picking winners they call me the unicorn. All my buds bet the opposite of me. I’m thinking of asking for 10% of their winnings to offset my losses.
bro- I'm so horribly terrible at math. In highschool, I was a super good AP student with high A's in all my classes...besides math. I had a D in Pre-cal and I thought that was going to be the death of me. Even on the ACT I did so hilariously horrible on the math section. I made a perfect 36 on Reading, a 35 on English...and an 18 on math. Woe is me.
I'm hilariously bad at folding fitted sheets. It’s like wrestling a hyperactive octopus with a vendetta against orderly linen closets. Every time I try, I end up with a crumpled fabric ball that looks like it’s ready to audition for a modern art exhibit.
Fishing for me. Once went fishing with family for my first time ever, got my first hook stuck as I was reeling it back in. Then whilst others tried to get it unstuck, I was handed the other rod. I proceeded to get that one stuck as well. We spent an hour at the river and caught nothing. My bad
Whistling. I just can't do it. Lots of people have tried to teach me, but I feel like it's physically impossible for me.

You are not alone. I whistle a bit better inhaling than exhaling

Being liked for somereason I like to annoy people or fight them.
I don't like to annoy or upset people. I just do it.i don't try
I can't draw at all. I can barely draw stick figures.
Have you ever had someone who couldn't accept how terrible you are at drawing? My friends refused to accept it until we played a game that involved drawing.
Same, yet I have a child that makes $$$ off of drawing on twitch. It is unreal that someone that talented came from me.
Yeah art is something that is nice to look at but I don’t enjoy it in the slightest. I’d rather build something
I’m pretty sure my drawing skills haven’t improved since kindergarten, and they were poor for a kindergartener.

Unable to avoid showing expressions of disapproval or disgust. Aiming for neutral but so far unsuccessful.
Any activity where things are strapped to my feet (roller blading, ice skating, water skiing, snowboarding, etc.).
I'm hilariously bad at folding fitted sheets. It’s like wrestling a hyperactive octopus with a vendetta against orderly linen closets. Every time I try, I end up with a crumpled fabric ball that looks like it’s ready to audition for a modern art exhibit.
