I love science and am in envy of Renaissance men like the Mythbusters, but fuck do I suck hardcore at math AND science. I'm so disappointed in this aspect that I could never be as skilled as guys like that, or even a competent inventor because of it.

I only passed Geometry because our teacher let us copy. Especially anything more advanced than that is even worse off.
And while I like making stuff, I guess I have a more crude and imprecise style than following detailed specs, which is what real innovators do.

So yeah, that, unfortunately.
 
I suck at drawing and math beyond algebra.

Used to be not so great at social skills as well, but I found that I improved a lot over recent years.

Never give up guys! If I can do it, so can you!
 
I am completely tone deaf and lack any musical talent whatsoever.:(

It sucks when I have a tune in my head and cannot make it a reality because I can't into music.

I also can't get past algebra despite tutors and hours of study every day for months. I realised algebra was my math zenith an left it at that. I studied my ass off and it would not click. I realised I am way better at English, history, art history and anything that requires literary study. But put numbers in front of me and I am so done before I even begin.*sigh*

With art I start getting better then slack off and lose my EXP. I'll draw for months, pick up skill then get bored or want to put my attention to another hobby. Then I'm back to drawing like a ten year old again. It's my own fault. I used to be better at drawing with a mouse even though I am extremely left handed. I guess it's not the skill you have but the level of skill you admit to. If your drawings suck but you know it and don't act like you deserve to be featured on DA then I can enjoy your art better than someone who makes anatomical monstrosities and pitches a fit when someone doesn't tell them they are the next Rembrandt.
 
Mechanic skills. I'm fairly handy but too stupid not to kill myself if I tried working on, say, a car.
 
I have street smarts and I can cook, so I'm inept at damn near everything.
 
I wish I could play a stringed instrument. I can play percussion and woodwind instruments just fine, but god help me and anyone within hearing range if I get my hands on anything with strings.

Really sucks because I’ve always wanted to learn how to play banjo or guitar, but unless it involves banging on things like a tard or blowing air I can’t seem to play it.

I need more self-discipline. I need to get better at doing shit I hate that needs to be done.
I think this includes not dwelling on negative shit and just moving forward.
 
Drawing. I'm absolutely terrible at it, though I'm not really interested in drawing in the first place, but it's definitely a skill I'm really inept at.

Singing is one I'm trying to get better at. I'm decent enough to be comfortable singing in karaoke pubs without feeling like I'm completely exceptional, but I want to improve beyond that.
 
I am god-awful at any cashier type job. Like I can handle money fine, but actually having to constantly take money and count it out while surrounded by swarms of customers royally fucks me up.

i'm completely spatially inept. if i were to pack a box, you could unpack it and pack it in half the space. and likewise my fashion sense is for crap. when someone says that two colors clash, i honestly have no idea what they are talking about. i'm not colorblind. i just don't understand why orange doesn't go with green, or whatever the hell colors clash.

I am inadequate at the skill of 'life' .

I'm going to go listen to some sad music, and post "deep stuff " to my Twitter profile now.
 
I wish I had the skill to haggle/jam my foot into opportunities and not let them slide.
