    Pretty straightforward: what talent(s) do you wish you could have but don't?

    For me, I really wish I could sing well. I sing to myself in the car/shower etc., but I know I'm not particularly good. There's something so attractive about a person who can sing well, guy or girl.

    What's yours? :icon_wink

    I wish I could use words better.
    Like, I wish I had a way where I could put what I'm thinking and how I feel into words.

    I'm awful at it!
    I have a much more mathematical mind - which I do love. But phrasing things well would be nice!

    YES! Another math person!!

    I wish I can do a MUCH better job of parsing my thoughts and putting them into a nice, concise phrase!

    And be able to regularly bowl 200 and above.

    Well... yeah this. But in my case, 'not particularly good' should be replaced by 'plain awful'.

    I wish I could play several instruments amazingly, be fluent in several foreign languages, be a professional dancer in several styles, be a magician, and sing exceptionally well (I'm fair but only because of my musical background).

    I wish I was more musically inclined. I'd really like to be able to play the piano or the guitar, particularly.

    I would have loved to study dance, specifically ballet, contemporary, and jazz. I would probably do some other styles like hip-hop on the side just so that I have some versatility. But I'm really bad at picking up choreography (I've tried but to no avail) and I didn't learn dancing during childhood/adolescence, both of which are periods when most serious dancers started studying. So yeah, it's not gonna happen for me...

    I wish I was one of those people who can pick up a tune on any instrument. Not even kidding, one of my church camp counselors was like that, he never uses sheet music, and can play the Maple Leaf Rag with no mistakes. It is so cool.


    And I wish I could sing, too.

    1. Being able to carry a tune. Four years of choir and vocal training did nothing for me.

    2. Knowing how to play drums, guitar, and/or electric bass

    3. Being able to do and understand higher level mathematics. I wish I had the mind for it but numbers mean nothing to me.

    4. Being able to lift more than thirty pounds and have some trace of atheletic ability would be nice...

    5. Knowing how to play (and being damn good at) any sport I come across.

    6. Having a rapier wit and always know what to say in any given situation

    7. Being able to hold a conversation with someone without my social anxiety flaring up...

    Having a real skill, whatever that may be. I am a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.
