I can't do anything

[zengarden1]

Partly for fun but also kinda serious also. I tend not to be able to do lots of stuff which give examples of below and so I often feel useless but shrug it off. Pls ask questions of what I can do and I'll answer

I CANT

Open a tin with a can opener
Sew knit crochet etc
Cook very well (basic)
Clean very well (basic)
Blow balloons

And now I'm sat here with a list I can't think of lots but ask away and I'll answer

Shell not peel.
Soke in cold water for 5 minutes.

Literally what is the difference between shelling and peeling a boiled egg 🤣
Tried the cold water. Still obliterate it. It’s almost like a talent.

Soak not soke

Retain the rules for games or even understand why I'm doing what to whom!

🤣🤣🤣

I'm not great with DIY. Although posting on here actually talked me through sanding and painting my windowsills and I was so proud they were done!! Never used a drill

My smoke alarm failed and I couldn't work out how to disconnect it from the mains and install a new one so my neighbour did it

I'm great at being calm in medical emergencies so if your leg is hanging off then call me. If you need something drilling or crochet then.. no

I can’t:

Blow up balloons.
Get my head round weights / quantities / measurement.
Estimate distances / heights.
Sew.
Knit.
Bake.
Plait hair.
Paint nails.
Understand chess.
Remember any card games.
Visualise things in my ‘minds-eye’.
Draw things without copying (although can copy unbelievably accurately).
Understand the guitar.
Process two sources of noise.
Roller-skate
Ice-skate
Ski
Understand the appeal of Towie, MiC etc 😂

I completely agree, the responses would have been very different if this had been posted about someone’s partner. If a man had posted it he’d have been ripped to shreds.

Classic! Perfect response 😂😂

Depressing. Please learn to do some of these things op.

I can't roller skate, skateboard or ice skate.

Mother was an exceptional ice skater but alas I didn't inherit that skill.

I can ride a bike and ski though.

I can't text with both thumbs. I see people doing this all the time really quickly, but it makes me even slower as it doesn't feel right, guess I'm just not coordinated enough 😕

🤣🤣🤣

I'm going to tell on you! 🤣🤣

Most ppl are horrible OP and mumsnet is a good reflection of this. I’ve got dyspraxia and lots of things ppl find easy I struggle with as well it’s just how our brain is wired.
I could never ride a bike (balance is terrible) failed four driving tests ( coordination ) can cook basics can’t sew and not great at things such as make up and hair.
I used to give myself a hard time but with this condition it’s out of our control sadly a lot of ppl are unsympathetic yo this condition and just label you as not being a proper adult.

FFS how ridiculous is this thread🤣🤣🤣

All those if you who are saying you 'can't' do various things, yes actually you can, unless you are physically prevented from doing so. You just can't be bothered to try.

Not necessarily
I mean I've tried and tried to crochet, I cannot do it. That's a bit different from not being able to change a light bulb

ive got the card game one-i just cant remember everytime someone explains i just forget the next time

cant bake ive tried burn it eveyr time

The things I included in my own list were all things I’ve tried to accomplish for 45 years and struggled with. But I don’t care a jot, it’s just who I am.

I can, however do a whole heap of stuff other people “can’t” do:

• speak several languages
• write with both my L & R hand simultaneously
• play piano at Grade 6
• Study for and gain 3 degrees
• Remember how to spell incredibly complicated medication names after seeing them once
• untangle absolutely anything
• open beer bottles with my teeth
• live for 5 decades without needing a filling
• do 10,000 piece jigsaws
• complete cryptic crosswords
• run 25km over hilly uneven ground
• treat very poorly people

If you’re unable to do any of the above, is it because you can’t, or you won’t?

Pls ask questions of what I can do and I'll answer

Someone asks a reasonable question and you freak out. Ok OP.

I can't whistle or roll my "r"s properly in Spanish.

Any time I try to put a duvet inner into a cover, it ends in disaster with me crawling inside the cover to try to move it about.

People on here can be ridiculous sometimes 🙄

I can’t…

Click my fingers
Whistle with my fingers in my mouth
Tie shoelaces very well
Ride a bike
Swim
Can barely cook, but can bake quite well

I do have autism, ADHD and hypermobility. I’ve also suspected for quite a while that I could have dyspraxia so that could be why I struggle with some motor skills, am really clumsy and have terrible spatial awareness.

Changing a light bulb is easy

Maybe she has anxiety about getting blown up or electrocuted by the light? Fuck knows but maybe should have posted in chat as ppl are being a bit harsh.
I can't do aerobics 😂 as I can't copy someone doing something on front of me as I'm doing it the Opposite way.....co ordination

I can't clean very well
I can't French plait
I cant crochet
I cant do any sort or arts or crafts
I can't speak another language (yet)
I cant put on false eyelashes or draw good eyeliner

I can't ski
Can't fly
I cant paint nails neatly

Basically anything requiring fine motor skills, accuracy, or athleticism I can't do
