What are you bad at?

[stephec]

Humility?
Modesty?

Reality?

I have a strong hunch that being bad at art/music/languages mostly means being bad at estimating how much effort is needed in these areas to produce decent results.

I base this on taking 40 years to be reasonable at Dutch, and seeing how much effort and dedication it has taken Ms AU to play the piano effortlessly.

I excel at those. In my top 5 I'd say.

Maybe, but in my case, I'm really not good at languages. I learned German by living here: I didn't really get it at school. I got an 'E' in GCSE French.

I hate with all my being small talk.I am ok talking about cycling or football mainly Leeds.But my social circle is either my many work mates,about 10-14 of them once a month and i can talk with them. we worked together since 1983 when i went indoors and left the streets my other group is church,and we have some very clever people and my lack of education shows up,so i talk about diy and gardening,but i really am useless in social circles.

I am terrible at dancing - or so my wife and every other woman I have known (except one) has said

not really surprising as I have no sense of rhythm (see above)

but actually I like dancing - but it seems like I am best doing it when everyone is drunk!!

Any one who has two threads describing their decorating efforts in detail, clearly can engage in small talk.😉
