Simple things that you've never been able to do properly?

Dan's thread actually reminded me of a thread I was going to make!

What are things that are simple to some people, but you can't do or have never been able to do properly?

I've never been able to tie laces, not with one loop anyway - I always use two loops and although I can use one loop now, it's never tight enough to stay so I just stick to the other way.

Another one is clicking my fingers, I think I was first able to when I was say 11 or something, but they more of less just rub against each other and never make a clicking noise or a good clicking noise at least.

For my sister, she's never been able to wink properly, that's my upper hand on her!

There are probably more, but I can't think of them yet.

ive always said im better at hard things and worse at simple things
main thing would be even the simplest maths, i just totally resist anything numerical based. also rubbish at tying knots, painting nails :(

I used to be able to whistle but I can't any more. I can't click my fingers which annoys me SO MUCH :(

I've always eaten with my fork in my right hand and knife in my left. I guess I've been too lazy to train myself to hold my cutlery in the correct hands.

like jen basic maths. i cannot do it it just does not compute.

currently i'm doing a gcse maths (level 2) course to get onto teaching and it is x1000 times harder than anything in my degree

Speaking LMAO I stumble up my words so much.

I get really bad anxiety when talking to people irl who I don't know that well and have to see regularly, however if it's a friend I'm fine, or if it's a customer in a shop im fine too!

But like people I work with and stuff, nope I get all panicky

Idk

oh yes and i can't wink with my left eye

Yeah my sister was shocked that I spoke more than you when we met :P.

Whistle

I can't tie a windsor knot......

I can't whistle blowing out, only breathing in ha

I'm terrible at...

social interaction in general
tying knots, shoelaces or anything like that
geography (I absolutely despise it)
probably a few others I've forgotten

knot tying im so awful
when i did sewing in art i struggled so much i did all lose knots so its all taped down and everything lmao so bad but can tie shoe laces
whistling as well am so bad

Can't whistle, can't click my fingers, my voice breaks occassionally which is REALLY annoying.

i also talk way too fast and end up muddling my words... pros of having a scouse-ish accent (im not scouse, i just sound it)
