Forever unsuccessful.

Is there some sort of activity (be it a job, hobby, or whatever) where, no matter where you seek to improve yourself, no matter how much advice you take in from others, no matter how hard you work at it, you can't ever seem to be successful at, making you think of yourself as a Charlie Brown in that given task?

I have just found something that applies to me: a Touhou themed card game I play using Lackey named Rumbling Spell Orchestra. I play this game with a fellow troper that hangs around its thread over at the Video Games section, and despite all the encouragement he gives, by saying just how close some battles were, by saying how I don't really do anything unsensible, and by saying how I can actually build decks well (granted, the first few were built with a liberal amount of his input)...I can win maybe one in 20+ battles. Apart from that one win I've only beaten him when he was trying out new decks (he likes to build decks a plenty) and they turned out to be underpowered or running on a joke gimmick.

math is hard

I have the mind of an artist, but the hands of a clown.

Angel, you should consider the possibility that the guy you're playing with is just really good at the game, not that you're bad. Try finding some weakerother opponents.

Anyway... can I say everything?

Pretty much anything I try to do. But the most extreme example would be FPS games. It seriously makes me depressed that after hundreds of hours of practice, I still can't beat anyone else with more than about ten minutes of practice.

Real Time Strategy games are where I'm pretty much a self-titled "Glass Joe of RTSes".

Also, fighting games.

I can't do maths. At all. It's got to the point where having to do any sort of mathematics fills me with dread.

Data Analysis. Another exam failed.

Math. Definitely math. It really says something that I've had to take the same damn Finite Mathematics course three times over, and STILL not pass.

Can't draw for shit! I mean, I can picture things on my mind, but when the translation from mind picture to drawing commences, my hand just doesn't cut it. I also have horrendous handwriting, which is not so bad because only I and people close to me can read me.

I can barely count, and I can barely draw, or code, or whatever.

It sucks.

Socializing.

Getting a date/girlfriend/any sort of sexual contact. >:L

Other than that, my math ability tends to fluctuate - sometimes I get stumped by math-based problems, and other times I intuitively figure them out.

I also suck at coding and configuring networks - partly due to the fact that I haven't practiced coding since high school, and partly because my dad uses Mac or Unix computers for his network control stuff, and I'm not too good with those systems in general.

I get good ideas for stories, but the actual writing part's a bit poor. I rarely work on them too.

I'm also bad at making friends with other boys.

Chess. My brain just can't chess at all.

I'm still shy, timid, and awkward no matter how many customer service jobs I get(and never really wanted them to begin with).

I still can't draw anything beyond cartoons, surrealism, and caricatures; and EVEN then I can't do it without a reference. Oh, and I still can't draw hands to save my life.

I'm still terrible at math no matter how much tutoring I get. I know just a enough to keep up with my finances and I gotta have a calculator.

I'm still kinda clumsy.

And I'm still not an expert at anything; I've always been average.

I jut plain fail at life, the only job I can hold is a temp job and I couldn't get any 'mainstream' jobs.

I can write. I can take photos. To a lesser extent, I can draw.

I suck at everything else.

Math and drawing.

Math, and anything even slightly resembling math.

I failed a Chemistry class because I couldn't remember the exact procedures for all those god damn equations. Also because: fuck significant figures with a spoon.

Someone make a thread about me?
