Most people have a certain skill that, even though very basic and mastered by most people around them, still doesn’t come easy for them.
Among the examples are activities and processes as basic as proper breathing or folding fitted sheets, while the reasons behind it may vary from a person’s innate qualities, lacking patience, good teachers, or practice to simply not caring enough about it.
And these people are listing these kinds of basic skills they aren’t very good at, answering one Redditor’s question: ”What is the most basic thing you are terrible at?”

Remembering somebody’s name.
If a person comes up and says, “Hi, I’m Jim Peterson,” I will have forgotten it by the time I’ve said “Hey. I’m NoxWild.”
Edit: Not a Dr so please ignore any medical advice I give out
2. Making new friends
3. Making small talk
4. Dancing
That last one sucks because I come from the DANCINGEST family. Every goddamn wedding it’s a line of people trying to get me on the dance floor. Don’t get me started on bachelorette weekends and the hours of clubbing they inevitably entail. People think I’m shy but I’m not, if I could dance I WOULD dance. I just have zero rhythm. I look like an injured cow having an epileptic fit when I try. So I don’t subject myself, or others, to a public performance. I shouldn’t be criticized for this. I should be THANKED.
My lungs have collapsed twice to fatal levels. Spontaneous Pneumothorax.
I had to have surgery to permanently glue my left lung to the skin of my back.
I still occasionally feel them have “mini collapses” once or twice a year. But Anything less than 25% or so (I am not a doctor) can fix itself.
This makes strenuous activity, like going for a jog, a bit difficult. If I feel that familiar pain, everything stops for that day.
I’m part of the 10% of the population who cannot sing to save their life.
I can throw a ball, but not far or fast. Never been able to. I’m in good shape, I got a good build, but don’t count on me to be QB in your football game or pitcher on a baseball team. Something about my arm I just can’t get it very fast.
I am 30.
I am a teacher.
Edit to clarify: I know how it works. I can tell the time but I can’t look at it and tell instantly. I have to go through a whole process, the same as when you’re learning this. So it goes like this in my mind: okay, the big clock hand is at 6 so it’s half, then look at the small one..
I taught myself how to read and write when I was 4 and have an iq of 124 but my brain won’t let me tell how to read a clock instantly.
