    Music.

    I’m a shitty musician, but I love it. Guitar, keyboard, clarinet, I love playing.

      Same, got Rocksmith and a couple bass guitars. Love it, but even after five years I’m not willing to try playing in front of anyone.

        There are several tracks of learning musical instruments, at least the way I see it. Learn to play other people’s stuff for fun solo, compose and record your own stuff, or jam with a group of buddies.

        I’ll be honest I never got into playing other people’s music but composed in the past. That was nice because you had absolute control but it also limited the creative input and stunted my own growth in music theory that becomes a must when jamming.

        This past year I’ve played more than maybe my entire life with jamming with family. It has been by far the most fun. We just make up our own simple shit and grow together.

          Oh I want to play with my family, it’s just that the bastards are all musicians who have been playing for 40 years.

    I was gonna say chess but i checked and I’m 90th percentile. So I’m shit but far too many people are worse.

    I’ll say cricket then. I can’t ever play at a professional level or even expect to, but still not terrible. Could play at a club level at most.

    Edit. Oooh writing. I love writing and im completely terrible at that.

      You’ve done a good job! You used sound and letter knowledge along with phonemes to encode your answer. Often when adding a suffix of -ing to a word, you will need to double your consonant.

      I’m proud of your attempt. All you’re missing is an extra L after the first one!

    Singing & drawing. I do also try to do things I am not naturally good at on purpose, because I am not good at them, though I wouldn’t say I enjoy those things. Ended up enjoying gardening that way, cooking, dancing, and am good at those now, and enjoy them. Spanish, any language except English I suck but keep trying.

    Vidya games!

    Specifically, any games requiring “twitch” reflexes. I love ‘em, but I do not have the genetic material to master them.

    Just about anything creative: music, art, writing. It doesn’t stop me from trying, but it’s clear the creative vision or raw talent that some others have is missing.

    I sorta feel everything. I feel like im not very good at doing things in general. Planning and thinking yeah. Like in video games my characters are better from the build than my game play. Even then though I do weird builds that do interesting things but are not necessarily optimal.
