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
I have a mildly difficult time tying knots.

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.
I work from home, so

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.

I can't snap my fingers
Tough life for those with charisma and a personal butler.

Regardless of age, weight, or overall fitness, I have never been able to touch my toes when bending over from standing.
I trained a whole year when I was 18 to be able, gasp, to touch ground (/my toes), after some initial warmup I did it repeatedly!
My kinetherapeut today: no one is stiff like that, we'll have you in shape in no time...
Guess I have really long legs or something

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 can't whistle at all, despite numerous ppl in my life taking so much time trying to coach me
-
I can't swim. Then again I just never go near deep water and am not a swimming pool enthusiast.
I can technically swim, but I can't open my eyes under water, so it's not safe to attempt swimming. Now I'm just grossed out by the ick in lakes and swimming pools, and I can't handle the heat anymore either, so I'll probably never swim again

I have trouble making up context in conversations. I just don't have that many daily convos that require adquiring context
-
I never learned to ride a bike and every attempt has been met with injuries as soon as I build a modicum of confidence. But I can rollerblade like nobodyās business, so I got that going for me.
I can roller blade (in-line wheels), but roller skate? Impossible. Last time I tried was a disaster, I just canāt get the hang of them.

I can't whistle so always called my kids with a trill sound (like a loud Spanish RR, not Arabic ululation) and it is also my recall sound for the dogs. But I really can't whistle. Can sort of make a sound but it's laughably mockably wimpy.
Can't catch at all either, can throw reasonably accurately most of the time but an object coming at me never goes where my hands think it should. I am shamed by my penultimate daughter, who despite nearsightedness worse even than mine was, and a strong drive to be non-athletic, can pluck anything out of the air, has both lighting fast reflexes and intuitive hand eye coordination. But it doesn't really affect me other than occasional embarrassment - I just pick whatever it is up off the floor after it hits me.
This is really funny considering thereās a Bobās Burgers episode about exactly that. The wife, Linda can roll her Rs but canāt whistle, while the husband, Bob can whistle but canāt roll his Rs. Itās a whole plot.
