What's a personal weakness you possess that is entirely not relevant to your daily life?

I am unable to do the magic eye things, my eyes just don't focus on that way. Good thing I never am required to
Wait until your bank website/app login requires a captcha with the magic eye thing! Bwahahaha.

Choreography. I can't follow other people's motions to save my life.

I I don’t know what Roblox is. I do know what discord is, but I seem to be unable to use it correctly? Also, although I have downloaded some stuff from GitHub a few times, I can never remember how to do it the next time, and the layout and UI make zero sense to me, every time.

I have 3
I cannot juggle. I don't generally lack in hand-eye coordination (not that I'm overly-gifted with it either, but I'd generally say that I'm at least average,) and I understand the theory of it well enough, I've even been able to teach people to juggle successfully, it's just that I, myself, cannot juggle.
I'm also a reasonably handy, technically-minded person, again not an absolute wizard, but if I crack a gadget open, with a couple Google searches and how-to guides, I can usually understand more or less how things work and how to fix them if they're broken.
But something about sewing machines breaks my mind. There's something going on right around the bobbin that just doesn't make sense to my brain and doesn't seem like it should work, but it apparently does, because I've successfully used a sewing machine and can confirm first-hand that they work.
Lastly, I don't like needles. It's not a horrible phobia that sends me running for the hills, but something about needles sleeves me out like nothing else. I can suck it up and get my necessary vaccines and such, but I do kind of have to give myself a little internal pep-talk first. It's not a fear of pain, I have pretty solid pain tolerance and needles really don't hurt that much at all, it's specifically needles that weird me out. If there was an option to get my vaccines where a doctor would shank me with a scalpel and rub the vaccine into the wound, I'd absolutely go for it.

Can't whistle loudly. I can barely do it quietly. I certainly can't do that badass thing where you put fingers from both hands into your mouth and blow.

I'm with you on github for sure. I assume people who use it regularly think it has a decent layout but to me it seems so random and disjointed that I can't imagine how that's possible.

The magic eye thing is my superpower. Takes me less than a second. If it helps, many of them are so terribly done it still takes me a second to figure out what they were trying to draw.
(It wasn't a sailboat.)

Needles make me faint. They don't hurt too much, but... If I see one going in, the next thing I generally see is people crowded around trying to revive me.
Hell, I just started to see stars! I'm lying down, for eff sake!
It's not blood either, I've been first on the scene a few times now and given first aid to some pretty messed up injuries.
I had a headache injection once, and the doctor mixed the drug with a giant needle as a stir stick, and he didn't even get the real needle out before I was face down on the floor. -

How is this a personal weakness?
Wrong answers only, please.

I hate when people "show you how to do it", they're always showing you the back of their hand, like that's supposed to help.

This video from Smarter Every Day did it for me! https://youtu.be/aoXJfuPaFF8 (06:35)

I can't roll my r's. I speak pretty decent Spanish (took 5 semesters in high school), but have never been able to figure out how to roll the r's, despite years of trying on and off to figure it out.
It's never a problem. On the rare occasions that I actually need to speak Spanish, nobody cares that I can't roll my r's.

I once told someone, "I can't do it, but I've seen people demonstrate it. You have to push your tongue back so it curls up, and..."
Then I demonstrated what I was shown, and it worked!
And then I was never able to do it again.

Same with me, but especially when the country is 1930s Germany.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I can't whistle with my fingers. Like thr thumb and index finger ring or just both pinkies. Totally understand the principle of it with splitting the air (I've even made flutes and ocarinas from clay), but just can't do it with my fingers.
But I can whistle equally as loud inhaling as I can exhaling.
