What do you suck at? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

This is a thread to post all the things you absolutely suck at.

Me:

Coordination. I have difficulty throwing a football, for example.
Organization
HALO, which is sad because I love the game.
Relaxing when talking to (hot) girls
Concentrating. I have mild attention deficit disorders. My mind wanders quite easily.

I can't sing in tune if my life depended on it. I also suck at knowing when to say when so I sometimes end up sloshed and going to work with a hang over (like today).

Don't worry about how hot a girl is. If you click, you click and that's it. If she's hot but boring/*****y/not your type, then I wouldn't want anything anyway - hence I don't worry about it

With that said, I suck at approaching girls. Talking to them is fine, approaching is the hard(er) part.

I have poor flexibility, and little self control. I'm in general a very tense person, and stress will probably kill me some day.

Dave:

I got the opposite problem... I can say hello to a girl and engage in some real basic small talk (how are you doing?) but can't talk to them otherwise...

Like you though I got poor flexibility and not too much self control. I'm also a pretty violent person. One more suspension and I'll be forced to transfer to another high school.

I can't dribble a basketball for ****... it's weird... when I'm by myself I can dribble all up and down the court, doing leg overs and spins and what not but as soon as i get a defender on me, i just pass that **** off or... let it get stolen

thanks

Interesting...to me, if the girl is at all interesting, it's just like talking to a friend. If she isn't interesting, then I probably have nothing to say to her, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

My organization skillz are non-existant

Self control? What is that? It really suks since I have an "addictive personality" and when I drink, I always get drunk, and then I run at the mouth... actually I run at the mouth all the time

I suk at sewing, no patience...

And, my memory suks too...

For short-term scoring, it's not worth pretending to be what you're not. What is best is to convince them that what they want is you. It's an art.

No motivation.

I can never get things done that I need to. I have my childhood to blame for this... everything was too easy, and I never got in the habit of doing things when I needed to.

Socially inept.

I'm literally the most socially inept person I know. Forget talking to girls... I have had 0 female friends in my life and talk to no girls on a regular basis.

Alas.

On the girls subject: how can anyone screw up the approach? A simple "hi" works.

My trouble is that my friends think that I'm the funniest person they know, but around the hot girls I worry that they won't think I'm funny, so I refrain from trying to be funny.


The main purpose of this thread was to see how many people would sincerely post in it, as opposed to the IQ thread. I think I have an answer.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I absolutely suck at drawing (shaky hands), at following a tempo, at sports. I suck at organization except when I have to organize (i.e when nobody will do it for me). Ah yes, I couldn't thow correctly if my life depended on it. I guess my coordination in general sucks purely. I give it a 3/20

I am pretty bad with my aim, and I am not very well coordinated. My poor typing skills and spelling issues are self-evident in many posts.

I also have a hard time meeting new people face to face.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I need to add on to my list of things I suck at. I'm a terrible speller and I have a hard time remembering names. I have no idea why I can remember intracite details about the policies of Tsar Peter but forget the name of the hot girl who lives two apartments over.

I guess my priorities are screwed.
