What are your shortcomings? Specific lack of talent? Disability? (1 Viewer)

My list, most of which have already been stated.

1. Very non-handy but I think a lot of it is that I just don’t try that much. I’m trying to get better.

2. Whiskey - yeah, probably too much

3. I’m very judgmental of stupid things that really annoy me. A typo in an email and I think the guy is an idiot. A guy over 30 wearing a backwards hat? Grow up. A guy backing into parking spaces? #######. Dude wearing a sleeveless shirt to a restaurant? #######. All kinds of things like this.

4. Can’t sing or dance to save my life.

5. I’m way more emotional than people think. I cry when someone gets a deal on Shark Tank. It’s embarrassing.

 
Most brain studies would indicate that (long term) this is a strength, not a weakness. I'm envious. A consistent sleep schedule like that would be a benefit in so many ways imo.

Just as a follow up, what single hour of the day do you consider your most productive? Assuming some level of variance of course.


To be fair, I do usually get up once per night to pee and drink water/let the dog out.  I don't go right back to sleep.

By far the most productive hours for me are 7am-12pm.

Christ if that's your biggest shortcoming, you are leading one hell of a blessed life.  
That was just the first that I thought of(guess I’m one super man, amirite?), but I also have ADHD, I’m mostly deaf in one ear, and I have a lot of anxiety. However, I have meds for the first, a hearing aid for the second, and therapy for the third, so I’m getting help for those.

 
I am really bad at understanding what singers are singing in songs.  I often don't really even listen to the lyrics, it's just like another instrument and part of the music.

I suck at the following things but still really enjoy them, and have no interest in reading or taking lessons or anything to make me better: chess, golf, poker.

 
Marriage.

Reading.  I read and my eyes keep moving while I'm still processing the sentence before.  Also, and I hate this, my reading inner-voice is disgustingly monotone.

Sleeping.

Seeing things through.  I fancy myself an idea guy, but as soon as something becomes a grind, my interest falls off a cliff. Take fantasy football for instance.  I love drafting, but hate dealing with lineups and waiver activities.

Ha! Me too.  If my life depended on me reciting the words to a song, any song, I'd start writing a will.

 
I can whistle, but I can't whistle through my fingers. I have tried for decades. Friends have tried to teach me, and I have watched videos, and I just can't do it. One time I did hear some sort of a faint toot sound, but that was it. Usually I just end up slobbering all over my fingers. I'm not giving up.

I do this too.  Sometimes I’ll be paragraphs past where I last remembered.

Yep me too.

Also can't snap my fingers.

And those are some less serious thins.

 
Probably my biggest shortcoming (past the obvious -see above) is socially awkwardness.  Always have been.  I'm not overly shy, and I'm ok with small talk, it just aways feels forced and it's an effort.  Social interactions don't come natural to me.  I'm more of an introvert and more at home keeping to myself.  

 
Overconfidence- I am so confident in myself and my abilities that it comes across as overconfidence and it can be off putting.

lack of Empathy- My wife cares enough for both of us lol

love of beer- 4-6 a night and not usually macro

lazy- I grew up on a farm and did my hard manual labor days then.

weight- my weight can fluctuate 50-60lbs in 12 months.  I like beer, red meat, cheese, beer and the other meats that aren’t red.  Even with gout and kidney stones, I’m not changing my diet.

opposite of handy- no plumbing, electrical, carpentry etc.. skills

 
Fear of rejection. By women, friends. . .you name it. 
Fear of death. 
Fear in general. 

I'm a scaredy-cat. 

And I cannot whistle through my fingers for the life of me, but my internal monologue is totes legit, fancy-free, and all over the place. 

Oh, and mathematical or scientific abstractions are lost on me. I get confused. Somewhat irritated, even.

My work ethic sucks. I'm lazy. If it is something I'm not really invested in I do my best to get by with as little work as possible. If it is work, I call in sick too much. If it is more social event that I don't care about, I'm basically a wall flower unless directly asked to do something. If it is something I enjoy (work or social), I'll bust my butt 100% and will be a leader.

I'm really bad at following clues/cues. With women, I've never been one to pull many women. So when a woman is attracted to me, I'm completely oblivious. I mistake any flirting as someone being nice and kind. I need people to come straight to my face and tell me their thoughts, good or bad. It has definitely led me to be someone that doesn't take offense easily, but few people want to be that blatantly honest when it is good or bad.
