Lost Skillz

[Pumpkin]

What are some skills you used to have that you no longer do?

In my early teens I used to be able to play guitar, a decent amount of drums, and understand a decent amount of Spanish. All of that is gone now!

[Shorty]

Singing and the ability to perform cartwheels. :(

[Calliope]

I used to be very flexible, and now all of my muscles hurt constantly and I'm as stiff as a board.

this + fat. Okay so I wasn't the most flexible 'cause back condition but I was athletic and now I'm a chump.

[Jessweeee♪]

Math. I took calculus as a blow off class. Now it's like, "hey coworker what's 13 times 3?"

[Citizen Bleys]

I used to have social skills, but who the fuck has time to keep up with that nonsense?

[fire_of_avalon]

I've never really been good at anything. That isn't a pity-party answer, I just don't have any talents.

[noxious.sunshine]

I used to play piano, but I couldn't even tell you where Middle C is, much less read music. Same with playing the clarinet.
I also used to be able to do splits and back bends and things, but fuhggetaboutit nowadays.

And then ...yeah thats it.

[Pumpkin]

Oh and I could understand a little bit of Japanese. Nothing major, but it was something.

[Shorty]

Oh, and headstands. I used to be able to do headstands, handstands, and walk on my hands. No go now. :| I'm probably also a terrible ballroom dancer now.

This thread has upset me in confronting my deteriorated hobbies and talents. :colbert:

[noxious.sunshine]

I feel like I'm losing my Spanish, slowly but surely..

But. Whatevs...

Lol my brother can -still- walk on his hands.. Not as well as he used to, but he can. And he's almost40

[Agent Proto]

I used to be slightly good with music, having played the clarinet and been in band during most of high school. I haven't since picked that back up so I've forgotten how to play and read music.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I can't really think of any skills I've lost, honestly. The few things I'm good at, I practice enough to not lose them. I have stagnated on guitar though. It's been a while since I've felt like I've improved on there. I've also finally forgotten all of the dance sequences from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers when I performed in that not too long ago. That's pretty sad.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I used to know pretty much every line to Napoleon Dynamite. The real skill would be mastering Rex Kwan Do or that dance at the end.

Something I did when I was younger that I don't do now is watch the same movie over and over again.

[Quindiana Jones]

French.

[Shlup]

I crochet 1/4th of a blanket once.

[Shiny]

I used to be very flexible, and now all of my muscles hurt constantly and I'm as stiff as a board.

Same, although I am still pretty flexible just not without a lot of pain. Damn arthritis ruining my snoo snoo.

[LunarWeaver]

This all sounds terrible. I'm glad I'm too lazy to learn anything new.

[escobert]

I used to write a lot. I have no ambition for it anymore.

[Heath]

I used to speak half decent Welsh and German. Now my Welsh is an ability to throw random words together to pretend to English people that I can speak Welsh.

[theundeadhero]

Bleys has it right. When I was small I could talk to anybody about anything non-stop. Now I'm not so obnoxiously chatty, but I lost more social skills than I needed.

[Madame Adequate]

Ballet.

[Goldenboko]

I used to be an adventurer, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
