What are you not good at but are genuinely perplexed as to why?

I am sure I am not good at lots of things but the one that is perplexing me is audio books... I have a subscription, I have loads of good titles in my library.. ones I genuinely want to hear.. but I am rubbish at listening to audio books these days.. I either get distracted or fall asleep...  Which is odd... as when my kids were younger I listened to loads as I didn't have time to read books.. I'd have the cd player as it was then on.. and I listened while I did housework.. Maybe I need to be moving.. sitting still doesn't work for me?

    Sports. All of them I think but then again, I don't like sports to begin with.

    Your lack of liking sports may just have something to do with it?

    Not really. The things I am not good at don't really interest me, so I am not perplexed.

  • Most sports. Even bowling. Like, why am I bad at bowling? I figured I could at least as be as good as my nerdy friends who aren't good at any athletic spots, but no, even they whooped me in that game.

    I am betting there is a sport you are good at.. you just haven't found it yet.

    I am not the best at sports, but I was really good at air hockey.  I loved air hockey.

    Really what I am still perplexed about is that I am good at anything!  Audio books are fun to listen to but guess I am just old-fashioned in preferring to do my reading with the book in hand. This post was edited by officegirl at July 28, 2018 6:13 AM MDT

    I can't write music.  I can play music that's already written and I love listening to music but the only music I've written is The Unstarted Symphony.

    I like the idea of meeting some people, but I have no idea where to look for them. I have gone to churches for months and not one person in the congregation learned my name. I have seen meeting halls here and there and they are always vacant. I go to a bar and it's either empty or it's so noisy it makes my head hurt.

    So what do you do with good ol' boys like me?

  • I have the same problem and avoid church for much the same reason. As for bars, I feel the same way. I wasn't always like that, but over the last 5 years or so, it's gotten worse.

      Both singing and dancing. Neither of them come naturally to me, I'm lousy at them, it amazes me that there are people who do them flawlessly, and it has frustrated me all my life.
