I'm bad at practically everything. But, that's a path to greatness. Adversity is an opportunity you haven't learned to take advantage of. I'm "bad" at making BBQ chicken. But, I'm getting better. I'm so good at making BBQ pork ribs that I'm the only one who's willing to say I'm not good at it. That's progress.

Mastering BBQ is a man skill no XY should ever be without. Same with playing pool, shooting straight and everything having to do with chivalry in general.

Had no idea those things were "chivalrous". I was very fortunate that I married an excellent cook. Even more fortunate that she has a competitive streak. Because I'm a better cook than her. Really fortunate for us both that I genuinely practice gratitude and I'm delighted to have her make me eggs I would have thrown out in disgust if I'd made them. Doesn't bother me a bit if I didn't make them. But, her organizational skills border on the supernatural. And I'm not entirely sure which side of the border they're on. Spooky.

Im bad at keeping appointments, especially if they're months in advance, if i don't a reminder from the doctor/dentist like a couple days before, I will be a no call no show and then the cycle starts all over again. Just bought a 2027 calender to hopefully get better with this, but we wil see

I know exactly what you mean. I have to have notes for my notes. I may have a lil ADHD but my short term memory is soooooo frustrating. But I did just find an app that some of my coworkers use that you might like called Goblin Tools. Anyway, I haven't done the research but it'd be interesting to know if people with more issues with everyday cognitive function have less instances of dementia in later life because they have to solve novel problems regularly that many do not. Every day has so many opportunities to be bad at stuff that maybe I/we/them have an advantage. However, I'd also be willing to bet that there haven't been enough significant longitudinal studies because, often, disabled or differently-abled people don't live long enough to find out. 🤷♀️ Ok, I'm done rambling.
