Is there anything most people or many people can do that you cannot do?

[msc545]

There are many things I cannot do, like cooking anything without ruining it, or skiing or playing tennis or dancing. Most people can do these things, at least to some degree. I can't do them at all. What common things do you have difficulty doing?

[Staximus]

I’m a terrible swimmer. Better now than when I was a little kid, though. I was like a brick. People always said "if you hold your breath, you’ll float to the top". I would hold my breath, jump into the pool, and sink straight to the bottom. The key to cooking is to pay attention, not walk away, and not fuck with it too much. I fuck with it too much because I have a terrible internal clock and need to check visually. There is no difference between 5 and ten minutes in my mind, I have to set a timer or check the time. Start with frozen pizzas - preheat oven, cook for 20 minutes at 400 degrees haha. I can cook pretty much anything except sushi and fine pastries, but will still buy a frozen pizza

[msc545]

I'm a really strong swimmer, and I have been my whole life, but it just feels natural to me. So I don't know what to tell you except try to stay out of the water, I guess. Particularly if you tend to sink. As for cooking, I just don't cook. Everything I try to make turns out terrible and ruined. I just order food from restaurants every day to have it delivered to my home or my office, and that's the way I eat.

I float better now that I’m getting fat

[msc545]

Okay, well, yeah, that's a good thing.

[Staximus]

Restaurant food supposed to be a special treat unless it’s really health conscious. Way too much fat, sugar, cholesterol, sodium, etc. That’s how they get you hooked

[Staximus]

When you eat all that fat or sugar it produces a reaction in your brain that says "oh yeah, give me more of that shit”. They say eating a lot of bacon can cause a chemical reaction in the brain similar to the euphoria of heroin hahaha

[msc545]

I choose my food carefully so that it doesn't have all that fat or sugar.

[Staximus]

Watch your sodium

[msc545]

Thank you. I am well aware of the potential problems with that.

I can't spit or play golf or do handstands. There's actually a long list of things I can't do. I'm very limited.

[msc545]

That makes two of us, brother. I can't play golf. I can't do handstands, and I might be able to spit just far enough to not get it on my own shirt. Maybe.

[AngryCarl3]

Cool! Are you autistic?

[queenofcardio]

I'm still learning how to swim, but that doesn't stop me from trying

[msc545]

I give up trying to learn things that I can't do initially because the frustration and the embarrassment is a bit too much for me.

[InknKink]

Empathize with people who I don't care about even if I can understand where they're coming from... but I'm working on it.

[slatyb]

Most people? I don't know about that. I wish I could lead my partner dancing. Get things done that are important but unpleasant or uninteresting.

[ProbablyClueless]

The mysteries of quickly extracting pomegranate seeds have totally eluded me.


Shame, because I love the things.

[IknowthatIdontKnow09]

I never learned to swim

[thegreenyogi]

Be selfish and disattached.
