Are there any simple things you cant do?

Any menial tasks that just don't come naturally to you? For me, I can never remember what order the months go in, I can count to July then I don't know what to do. It also takes me an unusually long time to read analog clocks, I have to look at them for a good 10-15 secs before I understand and I don't know why.

@ColdAir: well I don't want a ton of girlfriends either, I just want one. I tend to befriend a girl, then crush on her for a while, then crash and burn without her knowing.

You're probably right about most people at least getting a girlfriend. But a lot of people just have several girlfriends and then end up not getting married in their lifetime. I don't know about you but I don't see the point in having a bunch of girlfriends and then ending up unmarried. I don't think it's necessarily a good thing that a person can get many girlfriends very easily. It just shows that they either don't actually care about the people they date or they don't really know what they want. Unless you fulfill A and B anyways, getting a girlfriend is pretty overrated. Most people can't find a relationship because they are searching too hard. Just focus on what's actually important and you'd be surprised how many girls you'd have to turn down because you already found someone else.

I can't explain things well most of the time.
EDIT:
This includes most situations involving dialogue through text.Through a more personal means I'm alright.
i.e
Texting<Calling

I can't ride a bike
I can't walk and drink out of a cup without a straw at the same time, without spilling everything.
I am almost completely incapable of navigation in the dark.

Not an adept navigator, since I don't explore much or stare at maps that aren't in a video game

not something that comes naturally to a lot of people!

I'm really terrible with directions in general too. I usually think of things in terms of north, south, east, and west. So when a road starts curving and converges with other roads it will take me a little bit longer to learn that area.

[quote=Dorks]i'm so bad with directions that when i'm out on the street i use google maps and sometimes i spin around bc i stray off the route according to the compass
and last week at work i was trying to find the bathroom and managed to circle the office before finding it. same with this one building at school. i have 2 classes there and it takes me 5+ mins just to find my room[/quote]

this is me
I have this general anxiety driving people anywhere because I know I will inevitably get lost and embarrass myself. it usually takes me 2 or 3 tries before learning how to get to a new place and I always miss exits/turns while using a gps so I end up getting more lost. once I even got lost trying to find a bathroom at a restaurant...also getting back to my seat in restaurants always disorients me and I have to stop and look around to make sure I'm going back the right way..

inb4 "I can't talk to people".

I can't tie my shoes. I wear [url=http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/ColumbiaSportswear2/BM2560_010_f]these shoes[/url] because they have a little pull tab, the strings are threaded through it and you pull on it to tighten the strings.
