Like, it’s almost embarrassing how many times someone explained it, and I still don’t get it. For me, it’s tying a tie. I’ve watched tutorials, had people show me in person… still a mystery.
Anyone else have one of those things?

Tying shoes, I can do it, it’s just there awalys lose and floppy and get untied very easy.
What a bitcoin is
Taking keys off the fob
Making rice with boiling water
Being on time… For anything lol
How to load a dishwasher 🙃 I want to formally apologize to my nana for how many times she’s had to take over
And how to fluff a fake xmas tree ?? Everytime I just seem to make it look worse then how it started
Fractions.
It’s been explained to me forward and backward by my dad, a career Electrician, and my wife, a 4th grade teacher. None of it makes sense to me. Math in general, but the second my brain sees fractions, I’m having a bad time almost immediately.
Don’t read this and think I don’t know how to use a tape measure or ruler. I came up with my own way to work that out, but don’t bother telling me what the lines mean. lol
growing up I was the only person my mom would ask to taste-test the mashed potatoes since my ability to sense what it needed always ended up in a mash we all loved. I was like the potato whisperer, I was perfect at seasoning them, perfecting the texture, you name it. Thing is, I can’t actually make mashed potatoes for the fucking life of me. I’m a smooth mash girl and it’s always either chunky or gummy. I’ve tried an embarrassing amount of times. Now I just make potato soup because it’s all the same ingredients as a mash but essentially with way too much milk, you chuck it in the food processor and it tastes just like my fav mash but I don’t have to worry about it being gummy.
I can never remember which is which, type 1 vs 2 error, 1st-3rd degree burns
Make homemade biscuits. Cooking without a recipe.
Turning fractions into decimals
Never got it, never will
I still can’t navigate different screens on my smartphone. How do I make a phone call again from this screen? Where was I supposed to swipe? Thank god, I can bypass that with voice commands.
I’m really good at maths. It comes easily to me. I don’t even need to think about it. Figuring out a maths problem is an instant and intuitive process in my brain. I was even three years ahead at school in maths. As a result, my parents assumed I would be good at Economics. They thought I would be an accountant or something similar and made me take it as a subject in high school. I couldn’t make sense of it at all. It didn’t matter how many times my teacher re explained, even the most basic, concepts. I simply couldn’t grasp it. It was too abstract. Too many variables. My brain simply doesn’t like that.
Playing an i instrument. I tried so hard. Once I got the basic 5 notes down and things started to get tricky I was totally lost. My grandma was a spectacular pianist and she tried to help. I think I’m missing that part of my brain.
Subnet masks.
I understand the theory and if I look it up I can even work out the required sets.
But wait 10 mins and I will have forgotten it again.
Tom it’s been years since his company went to “business casual” dress code, and he hasn’t had to wear a tie regularly since then, my husband is absolutely BEST at tying ties!
I can do a very simple, basic tie. But his are always perfect, and he ties and more complicated not than I do.
How to shuffle cards. It’s been shown to me so many times. I can’t do it
Tying knots. It should be simple to learn and remember how to tie 3-4 different knots, but I cannot consistently even master one.
Telling my left from my right. I also get letters and numbers backwards so the “L” thing with the hand is useless.
Kinda struggling with subnetting right now. I can see there is a relationship between the numbers, and I’ve read the explanation dozens of times but it’s just not clicking.
I suck at a riffle shuffle. Never been able to combine two equal stacks of cards side by side without taking huge unpredictable leaps. Technically speaking, this probably makes it more random, but I look utterly incompetent at shuffling.
Driving a manual car. It gives me too much anxiety.
