The many "things" in life you are bad at.

I'm horrible at doing anything at home. Homework, projects, studying, you name it, it has to be done in the class or it will never be completed.
... Why did you put "things" in quotation marks? Just wondering.
On topic though:
-Math
-Making Friends
-Getting a remotely reasonable amount of sleep
-Getting up early (related to the last one)
-Willpower. Which is related to the previous two.
-Most video games. Seriously, I enjoy games but I am terrible at them.
-Most IRL games. Chess, Tag, Soccer, Checkers, Tiddlywinks, Skee-ball or whatever it's called... The list is long and the memories humiliating.
Well that's what I could think of in 5 minutes. I know there's more, but this is sufficiently depressing for one night.

Sprinting, I tend to fluctuate between horrible and not, within fat guy standards.
Also, I don't do too well in English classes for some reason. I understand literary concepts well (thank TV Tropes for that), but I just don't handle it well in a school environment.

I'm terrible with awkwardness. Really, really, terrible.
So bad at awkward situations that I have actually developed a deep-rooted fear for them in my hippocampus, and constantly think about what I'm going to say next in a conversation. Even with my best friends, I'm terrified of having a silent point in the conversation at any given moment.
I'm dreading the moment I will actually have to go on a diner date. That's a 2-3 hour conversation!
The one time I did get a date, I just stuck with the movies. Think about it, that's an entire 2 hours of thinking about possible conversation topics.
Also, I'm terrible about making people consider me.
I could have a nose-bleed in front of you and you won't notice.
(Actually, that did happen once.)

Math. I just can't fucking do it. I can understand the concepts of it, but when it comes to intricate processes, rules, equations, I either forget them or get mixed up amongst all the numbers and screw things up. I think part of my problem with math does lie in the classes though, there is such a huge push at our school for more and more math, to the point where they try cramming an absurd amount of material into each class. So much of what I "learn" is just stored in short-term memory and doesn't carry over to the next class where those ideas are built upon.
Working. I get distracted easily, I'm lazy, and I procrastinate a lot. I naturally do plenty of intellectual, semi-productive things when I'm not actually trying to "work," I play drums and guitar, write on these forms, read articles on a variety of subjects, I think about many social, political, moral and philosophical issues all the time. But for some reason I just don't get around to turning any of that into bigger things. There's tons of songs that I've sort of written that I haven't really worked out into fully organized songs and recorded, I haven't taken my many thoughts and writings on these forums and organized them into something bigger. They are just something that gets dumped here, and then lost. I haven't really participated in any activism, I don't speak my mind enough. In fact, this entire flaw could be expanded to include just doing too many things out of habit. Unfortunately, my habit seems to be to not really pursue goals and work towards things. This causes a lot of other problems for me such as:
-Completely schoolwork, getting good grades, putting into the effort to get the results I want to for projects and assignments I actually care about.
-Getting sleep. Procrastinating until midnight or 1 in the morning, and then saying "fuck it, I'll go to bed."
-Losing weight. I haven't been able to consistently stay with a diet long enough or to make a permanent lifestyle change need for lifelong health.
I also have a terrible habit of knowing exactly what's wrong with things but not making the effort to change it. I talk but don't walk. I think I'm gradually improving though.

Well. . .
My cross country coach is convinced I'll be the fastest runner our school has ever had when I'm a senior
I get good grades in school
I'm a natural musician
But I'm extremely bad in social situations, except with my friends. Anyone can read my emotions like a book, and I always come off looking awkward in conversation

I have a bad habit of finishing peoples sentences for them if they have even the smallest pause in their speech...I'm becoming more conscious about it and berating myself every time it occurs though.
Drawing - My art sucks. Don't even try to look at it.
I lack patience when it comes to blatant stupidity.
Trust - I've been betrayed pretty badly in the past. Trust is not something that comes easily.
Sports - If I can't think through it, I'm pretty screwed.
Building close relationships - This relates to trust.

Dude are you me? fuck.Bonelord said:I suck at
Mathematics, i have dyscalculia, google it.
Remembering anything, i can't remember a list of instructions more than two things long. I forget the day of the week, important dates, where i left my keys/wallet/phone. You name it i forget it. Strangely enough, i never forget peoples names.
Concentration, probably the reason for the bad memory if i'm honest, it's a miracle i managed to make it through school and 2 years of college. It's not that i procrastinate or anything, i just start to day-dream without realising.
Sticking with something until the bitter end, i could list the things i've given up on, and i will. Guitar, keyboard, hockey, trampolining, Dead Rising 2, a couple of jobs... Maybe more but i can't remember (see above)
Handwriting, sometimes i can't even read it myself, i have to write everything in caps to make it legible.
That'll do i suppose, but no doubt there's more that i've missed.
That was kinda therapeutic you know ^^
Oh yeah and you might want to google a little thing called ADHD because it sounds an awful lot like you have it. I got it too, its pretty common.
EDIT: Shit double post!
Adding to the previous list,
Double posting
- Drawing. I just can't do it.
- Getting ideas/info out of my head. I can think up some smart stuff in my head. But I can't get it out and express it.
- Things that require hand-eye coordination. My arms are pretty much on eir own when I'm moving them.
- Gotta say getting a GF. Don't get me wrong. I'm not exactly living in a paradise of girls, and the ones that meet my reasonable standards always have something that stops it from happening. Moving away, already with a BF. Stuff like that. But I mostly just suck. I'm not a bad guy orr anything. I'm a bit overweight but other than that I'm atleast average.
- Being friends with people who arnt passionate about the same things I am. If you don't like: Hockey, Football, Videogames or drinking we wont be friends. This happens a lot with the aforementioned girls.
- Im spineless. Nobody ever tried to instill discipline or being able to say NO or sometimes YES. If someone asks me to do something I'll do it even if I don't want to and know it's a mistake. Or I won't be able to step outside of my comfort zone or anything with courage. Again, girls.

I'm not what you would call an organized person. Also, I'm bad at drawing(thankfully a career in fine arts was never a goal of mine), I procrastinate too much for my own good, I tend to be forgetful, I have a hard time trusting people or believing them for that matter, I'm terrible at starting a conversation with someone in attempt to make a new friend, sometimes I don't enunciate properly when I speak at times forcing people to tell me to repeat what I said. It normally ends up with me feeling extremely embarrassed, especially when I talk to girls, or at least try to. Hell, it's probably why I've never been in a relationship, let alone a date ever in my life. Also, I'm bad at sports, but they never grabbed my attention, so no harm there. I worry way too much. For example, I say something to someone, and for the rest of the day I wonder if it was the right thing to say. Even worse, I'll consistently ask them if they're mad at me or I'll apologize even though I did nothing wrong because somewhere deep in my mind I have this nagging feeling that I should say I'm sorry.
Man, reading this makes me think if there's even anything I'm remotely good at. :/

Any athletic endeavor that favors size and strength. (I'm 5'8" and 140lbs. I'm sure I could gain weight in muscle if I was willing to expend time in a Gym but I'm simply not willing to do so)
Any athletic endeavor that favors speed above all. (I can accelerate quickly but my top speed in most cases is average at best)
Any form of artistic expression beyond the use of language. (I can certainly master the technical skill of drawing or painting or playing an instrument but I cannot use this skill to express anything other than what I've already seen)
Making new friends. (I tend to have impossible standards for people to meet and as such I don't invest myself in a relationship until I know it will work)
Putting up with anything that I consider to be bullshit.
Going to a day without being baited into a pointless argument. (I love to argue but most of the time it doesn't go anywhere)
Dealing with people who, other than a few annoying habits, a perfectly nice people. (My room mate for example has a handful of annoying habits that make me hate him even though is a perfectly nice human being)
Remembering names. (I'll never be a tycoon as a result)
