What do you SUCK at?

Writing: I can write very neatly but inevitably my writing gets faster and worse as I try to get all my thoughts down on paper. Damned slow, ineffective form of communication. I has enabled me to use the joke that I only did my PhD to excuse my Doctor-like handwriting though. :)

Reading "signals" from women: Unless a woman lies naked on my bed with "shag me" written on her skin, I just won't pick up on it.

Dumbing down science: For example, even when I talk to my five year old son I always want to explain the background info to everything. "Dad, why is the sky blue?" "OK son, let's talk about the properties of photons and their behaviour and we'll move on from there."

Ironing: I struggle with a perfectionist urge. I can take me 20-30 mins to iron a shirt FFS!

Friendly intimacy: Hugging, shoulder pats etc. Just can't get it right and usually end up making myself and others uncomfortable if I dare to try it again.

Well I have thought about it but I am scared of my profile if they do a full examination of my wapred brain. :D

This is similar to me. My Mother used to walk out the house quite often saying goodbye (thankfully not for too long) I also struggle with saying goodbye at work and stuff, it feels like I shouldn't be saying it and staying till everyone leaves. Very weird indeed as I have no problem talking and socialising.

Same as you. Absolutely no problems socialising and talking to people.

I fancy boys said:
Pretty much anyone apart from my gf tbh, particularly my gf's parents family. I'll go for the kiss on the cheek when they go for the hug etc, and i just feel generally awkward. No idea why, they're all fantastic, i have it with own family too tbh.

Sounds very similar to me. Got any web sources for the whole childhood thing? Id just be pretty interested to give it a read, i had some issues with my mother during childhood, so would make sense! :p

I just have a few books on basic psychology and it is a pretty standard idea that is held. The fact that this happened to me over 20 years ago will make not one jot of difference apparently.

An ex-girlfriend of mine from a long time back had a really bad phobia about birds. She was absolutely **** scared of them. I told her that something must have happenned in her childhood but she could not remember anything. She eventually went to get help and got hypnotised. She then remembered when she was a small child, her Portugese grandmother would buy whole chickens, feathers on, to cook back in Portugal. She used to get really scared watching her grandmother ripping out all of the feathers and throwing them behind her, then gutting the bird with a knife.

I believe it is much the same as that. :)

I know that feel bro.

I would high five, but I wouldn't be down with the latest way of doing it. :p
 
I can't Dance.

2 left feet it's annoying cus I have a good sense of rhythm just can't dance for toffee.
 
Singing & Dancing. :( World's worst.

Handwriting. If you think my singing & dancing is bad you want to try reading my writing. :p
 
Smiling for one, hence i never smile in pictures, not ever
I suck at starting things ( forms, writing, tidying)
Cant really think of much else, oh i have a non existent short term memory, but that's not exactly sucking is it, it's well mental haha
 
Focusing.

I have a shot-gun approach to things - I'll start something, get distracted, start doing that, get distracted again, start doing the other thing, re-discover the original "something" I was doing and end up thinking "ahhh, why was I doing this again?" and retire to the sofa with some beers.

I'm rather fat :( house is messy.

That genuinely made me laugh. Partly at the humour but also because I recognise the truth in it (from my POV at least). :D

And me....although I do it intentionally, it is a game I play to amuse myself, like standing in front of doors for no reason and drinking at crowded bars instead of allowing others to be served......:p


Not forgetting, cash-points....I check the balances of every account and card I have, whether I need to or not, but only when there is a queue...it's no fun otherwise.
