I would like to be able to dance well, or even moderately well, but I have never had any dancing ability or skill my entire life. Couple that with the expectation that many people have about which folks are supposed to have so-called natural or instinctI’ve dancing talents and it’s been a brutal and somewhat painful reality for me socially. I care greatly that I am not good at it. None of my public attempts have borne well for me at all, so decades ago,I stopped trying them altogether.
Dancing, along with singing, are talents that I wish I had either been born with or could have learned/developed, and I really regret that it never happened.
(Even though the following are not the only reasons for my regrets, they certainly rank among the top ones: let’s face the fact that many girls and women truly appreciate guys who can dance very well or sing very well or can do both very well. I cannot lie and say it doesn’t bother me that I’m lousy at both.)
