Things you wish you could get into but you just can't!

[HalfWayAroundTheLoop]

The biggest frustration for me is running. I just cannot run, I've tried so many times. It's just too hard, too uncomfortable and boring boring boring. Yet running clubs seem like such a good way to interact with a community.

Cycling, same as above. I HATE it.

Gardening. What a lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon, pottering about planting flowers and growing your own vegetables in your very own garden. Unfortunately I hate gardening. It gives me backache and my hands aren't strong enough.

Feel free to add on...

Reading. I always hear from others how they love their books and yet I just can't ever get into a story.

Routine.

Sport. All sports. I have a very sporty family and I absolutely hate all sports.
It would make my life a lot less boring if I enjoyed taking the child to her football and listening to family members going on about what balls they hit with which sticks.

Fiction Audiobooks. I can listen to hours of factual books or podcasts but I cannot concentrate on audio novels. I really wish I could.

Skincare
Cycling
Cooking
veganism
teetotalism

Box sets / series. If it doesn’t grab me in the first 5 minutes I’m out.

Cheese. Never been keen. Wish I could enjoy a cheese board with a glass of red. Instead, DH shares the extra cheese with the dog 🧀

Waking up early.

I wish I liked cheese less! I would be much thinner

M old clothes 😭

Coffee. Keep trying it, nope. Failing as an adult.
Housework routine
Skincare
Make-up

Louboutins.

Online clothes shopping

Podcasts

Gardening. Hate it, it’s just chores except outside and stuff dies.

Knitting. Not for the want of trying. I give it a go every couple of years but never make it past the first row. I should be good at it because I'm a natural sewist, by hand and on the machine, and I've been making my own clothes for years. I would love to be able to knit my own jumpers and scarves all kinds of other lovely things but I just can't get the hang of it.

Religion, both traditional and also - perhaps especially - anything evangelical or new-agey. It always feels like such a tight and supportive community, but you have to genuinely believe to belong.

Watching TV. Sitting down & relaxing.

I’ve never done it, I like being out & about.

Watched Friends in college, that’s it…

Terry Pratchett, Stranger Things, exercise, watching sport

Mushrooms, they look delicious, the recipes are amazing but unfortunately they’re just ick.

I mean, not really. I think a lot of people adopt the underlying principles in terms of “be nice to people” but also think that when you’re dead that’s it. I’d just go and see how you get on.

I weaned myself onto mushrooms through mushroom soup. I still
don't love massive chunks of mushroom but can eat them if they’re served to me and think they’re fine.

Gardening for me too. It's always left to my partner, because I just don't know where to start.

I'm another that can't get into Terry Pratchett books despite family and friends loving them.

House and garden - design, DIY, general upkeep
Knitting
Drinking tea - not just for afternoon teas, but as a nice drink to enjoy at home
Some type of exercise eg wild swimming, martial arts, anything really

Sport, any sport at all just leaves me cold.

I was going to say the same. I cant get into books at all!

Baking.
I never bake anything well and the mess always seems worse than when cooking.
