What's a personal weakness you possess that is entirely not relevant to your daily life?
-
Turns out I only have one kidney. Went in for a scan of my bladder (which was fine), and the nurse doing the scan just casually mentioned it. I had no idea. I was 43 at the time.
Have you ever woken up in a motel bathtub full of ice?

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
I can barely whistle, it sounds like a light breeze. I can barely snap my fingers, its more a soft thump than a snap 90% of the time. But hey, I can burp and pop my ears on command, so I’ve got that going for me.

Is it a tongue issue ? a girl I knew in school couldn't do the english "th" because the leash below her tongue was too short
Could be! I've often wondered if the problem is something I can't really overcome with practice. I've watched many tutorial videos over the years, but my tongue just ends up doing nothing when I try to practice.

Now that you mention it...

I can snap with my left hand but not my right. I'm right-handed so in theory my right hand should have enough dexterity to do it?

It's not relevant to my daily life but it is sometimes a significant limitation.
I'm one of those that passes out at the sight of blood. A little scratch or something won't send me but actual injury or a lot of medical stuff will get me.
About half of the time I get an injection or blood drawn I'm out. They use those high chairs so the nurses have more ergonomic access to the patients? Nope, I get the recliner, because I'm liable to fall out of that high chair and beat my head on the floor and now the nurse has a big heavy mess to clean up.
Two of my four doses of the Covid vaccine I was out. Was pretty sure it was going to happen each time and I was right twice. Still got all four.
I've done it to my dental surgeon almost every time I've seen him. Has a nasty habit of playing a video tape that explains the risks of tooth removal, and I seldom retain consciousness through the part about possible nerve damage. They tend to leave you alone in a room while this video plays. Even if I stay conscious I go weak and can't really move under my own power, it's really fun to be alone like that.
I'm careful to warn everyone who works in the shop with me that - if you are injured - I'm not going to be able to drive you to the emergency room, you'll have to wait for and pay for an ambulance. So put on your safety glasses and partake in my large collection of push sticks.

I have the opposite problem. Only remember clothes and hair, never faces. It affects my life a lot, though.
I can kind of remember faces but I can't visualize them in my head, despite being able to imagine most other things.
-
A near-complete lack of rhythm and profound tone deafness. I can't keep a beat to save my life, and my singing sounds like the wails of the damned. But like damned chimps or something.
Anyway, all music is sorcery as far as I'm concerned.
Yes! And because of all that, I am profoundly ignorant as to how music works.

I always felt uncomfortable in country-themed nightclubs.
I'm largely redneck and I feel profoundly uncomfortable.

Couldn't admit this to myself until my 40's, but I have a serious mechanical handicap. Doesn't stop me from trying!
We had standard tests in elementary school and I jammed out in the 90+ percentile on most subjects. The last part was called spatial reasoning. Here's 3 shapes, if you put them together, which shape will they make. Stuff like that. Tried really hard, couldn't do it.
I can take things apart pretty well, and I'm good at creative solutions, just can't get the thing back together.

Hey OP, I used to have that same weakness, but this tutorial actually allowed me to see the magic eyes things
https://www.magiceye.com/faq-items/help-how-do-i-see-in-3d/ the two dots made it easier for me to know when I was focusing correctly.As for my weakness, I can't whistle loudly, I've tried all the methods people use, but wasn't able to learn any of them.
Just tried lol, it didn't work. My eyes don't seem to focus well enough to find whatever is hidden in there.

Auditory processing disorder makes it really hard to deal with multiple people talking.

Regardless of age, weight, or overall fitness, I have never been able to touch my toes when bending over from standing.

How is this a personal weakness?
Wrong answers only, please.
How else do you protect your eyes while staring at the sun?

I have double vision (diplopia).
It's kind of a super power when I think about it.. but not really.

I learned this from The Aquabats!
I loved playing the pool party song for my kid!

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.
I too have the needle fear whenever I get vaccinated or blood drawn I get super anxious and I have passed out a couple of times... then I also have several tattooes. I can't explain why those do not bother or scare me.

My high school boyfriend and I jammed out to that whole album. xD IT'S MY POOL PARTY I DO WHAT I LIKE!!
