What's your anti-talent?
To me it's singing. I'd need tons of training to get anywhere near 'tolerable'. I'm so bad, people start booing as soon as I begin.

Not walking into everything and if I am especially sleep-deprieved that day, even walking somewhat decently. I have horrible hand-eye coordination or bodily coordination in general. I actually have to pay attention to it at times and even then, I might just trip on pretty much air and have many close calls.
Ps. I'm actually ill and sleep-deprieved so excuse any stupid mistakes rn
Drawing and juggling.
I cannot draw worth shit. I just cannot make things look realistic at all. I'm just amazed by people who can draw something in detail, make it look realistic, just from memory.
Juggling is another thing. I cannot even juggle 2 objects, let alone 3 or more.

High-level mathematics such as Calculus is one of my biggest weaknesses, I have to try really hard to understand it. Conversely, I find mental and business math quite easy, but that's probably because it's significantly easier.
At least you're aware of it. It's not fun being around someone who thinks they're a great singer when they're not.

i can't compromise
Anything that is slow, tedious, routine and needs to be learned though rigorous study rather then going out and learn naturally by trial and error. I couldn't stand school at all, even though I was able to get above average grades.
Other things I hate for their slowness and tediousness is cooking and mechanics. I always eat readily available foods and replace a broken item with something new if I can't find someone else to fix it for me.

giving emotional support
i think a reason is because i didnt get any emotional support from anyone as a child, and eventually closed myself up toward my family and never let them in or help me because i couldnt trust them, and how am i supposed to know how to give others support if ive never been given it?
Fractions. Why can't we just operate in decimals!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? !?!?!???????
Everything interests me but nothing holds me.
I'm absolutely horrible at being selfishly self-interested, and I end up trusting the wrong people. This might sound like answering a job interview question of "What is your worst trait?" with "I work too hard and never take vacations.", but not being sufficiently self-interested can be a huge problem. Because I'm sp-last, I tend to ignore material concerns, and since LIE's can trust others too much, I can then get taken advantage of in a material way.
I can think of four occasions off the top of my head where this has happened, and in each case, it cost me a considerable amount of time, effort, money, and grief.
parking a car. any kind of handiwork like putting something together. Like assembling furniture. Really bad with my hands that way. I don't think it is even my hands but my brain can't really view things like that. I was a decent athlete. I am terrible at singing, drawing, I have no artistic talent. lol.
directions. I could get lost anywhere.
Yeah, singing... I'm really bad with directions and I get lost easily unless I have a map. Thank God for Google maps.
Sports, driving, talking to people.
im tired of talking about what I don't do well though. It's already obvious enough and gets me nowhere. Time to write a bunch of books and compete with JK rowling honh honh honh.
The last time I did anything related to math in school I just drew a picture.
I had to redo this test to see if I would pass high school mathemathics.
Spent two hours drawing the two girls that sat in front of me on the test sheet.
Then I just handed it to one of them and walked away. I didn't pass.
I'm bad at heavy-lifting.
I'm bad at estimating how much time anything will take.
I'm bad at drawing crowds. (In more than one sense.)
I'm bad at Pacman. (I've never gotten past the first level.)
I'm bad at impulse shopping. (I can go into a store intending to spend 10 dollars on nothing in particular and walk out not having bought a thing.)
Figuring out mechanical things, or technology problems. I don't even want to try. I want someone to do it for me. Because I know others can do it easily.
Also reading a manual from start to finish, in order. I prefer to just skim and find only the info I need.
On-the-spot making myself understood on a thing that I do understand but cannot come up with the right explanation approach and I feel I won't be able to, so then I end up doing a much poorer job of it than necessary.

Cannot sing. I think i'm tone deaf. I can't walk without tripping over my own feet. Can't really dance either. I cannot keep a conversation going. i suck.
Same with me applies, at least you're awareSo you can avoid it. On the other hand... maybe these are of use?
For keeping your feet untangled: wear heavy tightfitted boots. It's really as easy as that.
For dance: shift focus from limbs to the middle of the body. Rotating the shoulder/hip/spine axes in even the most simplistic manner usually makes arms and legs follow.
For conversations: use questions. Effective in 80% of all cases when you find a point of interest. Since you use some high Ne I thought this could be good guidance.
Since I am procrastinating preparing a presentation dued to tomorrow which I procrastinated for a fairly long time already, may I add:
I suck at not procrastinating things.
If someone pushed me into the pilot's seat of a plane and told me to take over, I would at least have some vague ideas about finding the autopilot button, or looking for what looks like a steering wheel. Sure I would have no idea what I was doing, but I would at least have an idea of where to start.
If someone pushed me onto a dance floor and told me to dance, my brain/body wouldn't be able to come up with anything. Except maybe running in the opposite direction.

I suck at keeping up with fast-moving visuals. First-person shooters and driving games confuse the hell out of me because they remove my peripheral vision. Once tried an oculus rift racing game where you were going all the way around the outside of some tubes and my inner ear panicked and tried to dig its way out through my temple. Stopped after 30s due to to strong nausea and imminent puking.
But funnily enough, I really like roller coasters. There my inner ear, my visual centre and the soles of my feet can be confused *together* <3
Reason is a whore.
I can be pretty bad at handling my emotional/psychological stress resulting from social responsibilities.
I easily feel overwhelmed by those things, and seek out help from other people, but it too often feels like no one "hears" me or takes the burden off of my shoulders, and this makes it worse. (Yes, on some level I wished someone would deal with all of my problems and obstacles.) Granted, I am not good at explaining what exactly I need help in. Or rather, I have learned to just "suck it up" and not tell anyone, because the things that bring me trouble are so easily dealt with for most other people, and they'd think something is wrong with me for being so helpless. Just taking action and making something simple happen is difficult for me. I can easily feel weak and helpless without other people's support. I need others to push me, give me an impetus to do something or try to accomplish something. I find it difficult to motivate myself and do something with my own personal agenda only. I am very susceptible to other people's expectations; disappointing them or being perceived as a failure are probably my two greatest fears. I tend to avoid those situations as best as I can (I wished I did not have any responsibilities and expectations brought upon me that I am somehow anxious not to disappoint, even though I often do not care for them personally), but at the same time I also avoid doing something about it, so I end up in a sort of "paralysis" where I mentally detach from the issue and end up doing nothing and just letting the days and hours pass by, distracting myself with idle things. Meanwhile, on a subconscious level dread and anxiety are piling up into a huge mess. I am quick to repress any kind of anxiety, I am often entirely unaware of it, until it seems like the situation is "lost", then I finally get a powerful fit of anxiety. My good sense of time helps me with never experiencing this moment where it is "too late" to fix something, but getting close to this is stressful regardless.
It is difficult to pinpoint what exactly I am "absolutely horrible at", besides listing things related to the information elements. On a very basic level, I feel like I am too weak on my own, I feel like I need other people for both motivation and basic tasks, but in this society it has become normal or even mandatory to do everything on your own... I am both mentally and emotionally independent, due to my environment, but at the same time my nature actually demands help from other people... In truth, I am bad at playing the "independent woman" part. I am only truly independent in my thoughts and ideologies; there, no one can influence me too much, sometimes to a fault – I can be very stubborn when it comes to my views on what I deem to be true. As I said, I can also be "emotionally independent" on some level, but it is probably just a protection mechanism that hides my truly vulnerable nature. I suppose I am ashamed of it, I wouldn't want to be ostracized for it, so I guard it and only let it out when it seems favourable for me; mostly in situations when the other person seems more vulnerable or impressionable and would find my vulnerability oddly fascinating. When I am in the right mood for it, I can jokingly make fun of my deficiencies and thereby take away their power or "negative effect" of them on the other person; they'll think I am secure and those deficiencies are not too bad.
Anyhow, if it hadn't become obvious by now, I can be awfully dependent on others, but typically I never admit this to myself nor others, and I am quick to withdraw into my "woman cave" when life gets tough for me or I experience emotional distress. So naturally they usually get the impression I am a very independent person who is not too attached to others and their opinion of me – but this is far from the truth.
In a way, no one can entirely "help" me – I am the only one who can actually "live my life". Sometimes it feels like I'd need someone to do it for me, so I can reside in the world of the mind or of ideas without having to be burdened or hardened by everyday living. It is rather laughable how soft and sensitive I truly am, and how ill-fitted I would be to real hardship. My hardship is purely psychological for the most part... I both could only survive in a society like this one, where I am mostly protected and living a good life, but at the same time I can be easily stressed out and burdened by it.
P.S: I probably took replying to this thread way too seriously.But I felt like letting it all out, ha.
P.P.S: This was therapeutic, maybe I should take up writing in a diary again.![]()
I am also a horrible listener in that I often don't pay attention to the world around me, except maybe subconsciously. It sometimes takes people a couple of attempts before I hear that they are talking to me. Probably an introvert problem. I can focus when interested or when I think it necessary. Then I retreat back to my strange little world.
Remembering foreign languages, paying attention to details and paying attention in conversations.
At...life?
I'm awful at math and I suck at remembering stuff that I don't "use" daily... f.e. I can't remember the plot or sequence of the books I read or the movies I see or long explanations, lectures etc. , it was a huge problem on school days...
I can't support overly structured environments (school, full time job, etc) or micromanaging people.
"All nations will place their hope in him."
(Mt 12:21)
Anything related to business, bureaucracy, "desk jobs", etc. I'm pretty sure this is why I need LSI. I'm at least OK at pretty much everything else I want or need to do, including things that people often think are contradictory (such as creativity and practical things like organization and mechanics), but God save me from paperwork.
I'm also horrible at admitting when I'm horrible at things, which can lead me to push myself too hard at things I'm horrible at, which tends to lead to me just wrecking things (generally starting with my physical health), but aside from bureaucratic things, most of the things I'm absolutely horrible at seem incidental.
Public speaking/presentations.
Listening to demanding/overly authoritative people.
Drinking enough water, apparently.
Being tidy.
Keeping routines. Any kind of physical discipline (i.e. workout regiment).
Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.

Yes, foregos stuff like infinity, continuity and to applications can be hard to grasp. I have thought things like that without assistance or extra information. I remember first grade math class in school where my mind already asked pretty much more than enough questions that were necessarily to get before high school. I made a lot of careless mistakes, though. Ideas were easy but rote things disarmed me. Actually thought that math studies in university were much easier at the beginning than what I had at high school.
I really disliked languages because material usually dealt with everyday matters... I studied actually things like language groups/classifications with passion and always wanted to go there which made really frustrated as I saw it much more important information.
To conclude: I'm bad at common interests. It's a disability!

Yeah. driving in general makes people want to jump out of car when I drive. Dexterity with pedals and gearstick is really problematic. I might miss traffic signs and stuff but not in catastrophic way (I try to make it safe...-like).Zero collisions, though! No tickets and stuff like that.
Maybe I should become a Taxi driver?
Actually last time I drove someone sitting next to me was a good experience. She told me clearly what kinds of details there actually was. It was a relief.
