What do you wish you were better at?

[Clockwork Chaos 219]

Hey there, Everypony

 

So, i got thinking, almost all of my friends are a 'jack-of-all-trades', they do a little of everything... i uh, i'm not like that XD i consider myself a specialised individual, all i do is Gaming, Music, and Psychology (and i like to think i'm pretty good at what i do ) i suck at pretty much anything else you care to mention though. XD

 

This got me thinking, i'm sure there's one thing above anything else that we all wish we were better at, for me, it has to be drawing. i *wish* i could contribute artwork to the forum, or draw my own OC or just be better than an 8 year old at drawing anything XD

 

What's that one thing you wish you were better at?

 

(PS, if it's more than one thing, don't feel as though you're only allowed to post about one, tell us about as many as you want ^^)

Everything

 

I have no respectable or likable personality trait. I have a tendency to be hypocritical and a liar, so I really wish there was at least something respectable or likable about me. Same goes for "skills", I'm not good at anything, so I have no actual talent

 

But if there's one thing I truly want to become better at besides just becoming a better individual overall, is to improve my motivation. I lack any kind of motivation, so I tend to give up easily

I wish I was better at art as well. It's something I've always wanted to be good at. but I've never been able to do it where I am proud of my artwork. I also wish I was better at playing at piano, or even any instrument.

[PonyBoy15 428]

I wish I was better at:

 

(no particular order)

 

1) Art: I used to draw a lot when I was younger, then grew apart from it for 5 years, just recently started drawing again and need to practice.

 

2) Competitive Swimming: I was a 4 year varsity swimmer back in high school. Although I was quite good and eventually became captain, I've always wanted to shave an extra 10 seconds on my 100M Breaststroke

 

3) Auto Body: I can fix cars, but not cosmetically, I suck at using Bondo and painting.

 

4) Photography: Just recently got into photography, wish I knew how to set the proper setting for each occasion.

[Moonlight 7,286]

Well, I would love to be better at the following:

 

• Singing
• Drawing
• Writing (People say I'm good, but I think I could do A LOT better.)
• Algebra...oh god, Algebra. 

That's about it, really. Mainly Algebra though. >.>

 

Or controlling my anger, if someone is being stupid, I will get in a screaming match with that person, especially when I started screaming nonstop at my friend who thought the sun and moon are planets.

I wish I were better at academics. I'm an alright student, but I've never gotten all As before or anything like that. If I don't get a grade I want in a class, I'll usually just say something like "it's not the end of the world." I want to try to change that though, and hopefully I'll be able to during my upcoming fall semester of college. Wish me luck everybody

Now that's just not true. i may have only spoken to you in the game threads before now, but you shouldn't put yourself down like that dude.

 

Everyone here is good at something, and likeable for something.

Hell, even the fact that your on this forum shows you're a sociable person, and being a brony in itself shows that you're open to trying new things, and not caring about other peoples opinions of you. you'll do what you enjoy regardless of how much bad press it gets.

 

That is a respectable trait if ever i've seen one. You shouldn't put yourself down, bro. /)

[Ihei 712]

I really wish I can be better at school. I am pretty focused, I study, but I still get B's and C's. I really wish I can do better, I just can't think straight..

[Taviscratch 453]

I gotta say, I'd like to be better with technology of all kinds, whether mechanical or digital. If something goes wrong with a car, dishwasher or computer I have no idea what to do.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I wish I could get better at singing but sadly, that won't ever happen. So, I guess that I really should get some singing lessons.

[Shanks 10,816]

Math: I swear that Algebra must have been invented by Satan himself, but it is a "requirement" for it I want to move onto a 4 year university and one of the factors that caused me to drop out of college (I am coming back this fall so no worries).

 

Drawing: I an okay painter but drawing seems to elude me which is an annoyance to me because I have a lot of ideas for pics and comics.

[Hdc 155]

Drawing (practice is key I guess, but I'm such a noob that it's not really creatively satisfying yet)

 

Singing (yeah, not happening)

 

Making new friends and talking to people I don't already know (this is probably the most important one, and it all comes down to forcing myself not to be a lazy coward)

Ugh, too many things. Let's see what I can name off the top of my head.

 

Lead guitar. Toneshaping. Creating orchestral music. Creating electronic music. Screaming (or, at least, doing it well consistently, every now and then I get on a roll, but too often I just can't nail it). Programming. Graphic design. Fighting games. Guild Wars 2 sPvP. Keeping a consistent healthy diet. Exercising regularly. And like @@Clockwork Chaos, art.

I wish i could draw stright lines are sooo hard and i want to draw in a anime style its even harder drawing that. Thats why i spend so much on dam art:(

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I wish I was a better speaker. I have so many freaking ideas running through my mind, and so many things to say. I find myself saying bland words like awesome too much. Basically I wish I could get my point across better to people, thus convincing them of what I'm trying to explain even further.

[ReGen 1,466]

Singing. Maybe I should just wait until puberty's over with.

 

And maybe music in general. I'm really running out of creativity.

[Sylentmana 271]

I really wish I was good at art.  I would draw so much fan art.

I also wish I was good at math and junk.  I barely got a C in my math 201 class.

[RosemaryPetal 112]

Hmm, if I had to pick one thing it would most definitely be art, but I would also love to be better at sports. I've been skin and bones since I was five, unfortunately.

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,673]

Stress control. That is, without having to resort to completely losing touch with reality. Part of why addicts are addicts is because they have a very terrible time controlling their stress on their own so they medicate it using something from the outside be it drugs, food, some other habit, through rampant consumption of entertainment or--surprise, surprise--the internet. Definitely the case with me.

[kirbyboi 588]

Well, to be honest I wish I was better with sports, and my self-esteem.

 

Sports, because I suck at pretty much all of them (volleyball I'm a bit decent at), and I love to play and watch, however I'm just not good. Some of my friends like to play basketball and I wish I could be better so I could play the sport with them too!

 

As for my self-esteem, although I don't show it, I do have very low self-esteem. So that's something I want to improve.

 

All in all I also just want to be a better person. But there's lots of things I want to be better at

[Rocco 567]

drawing, i wish i could draw better than i do currently. i would love to be able to create a piece that i could sell off for charity one day, its been a life long dream of mine that i would be able to help others through art work and bring awareness to causes that i feel need more light shed on them buy something i was able to create! i dont want any money in return, i just want others to be helped.

[john117 6]

i wish i was better at art. I wouldn't consider my self a terrible drawer, but i wish i could draw really good pictures that would be good enough to post on sites and other stuff.  

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

Drawing-

If I was better at that, I would be happy as an artist, I love drawing but I really really REALLY am not proficient at it.

[Xievie 498]

I wish I was better at a lot of things. Right now the only notable thing about myself is how well I can understand other's personalities and my skill in adapting to and playing various videogames.

 

There are a few things I especially wish I was better at:

• 1) Being Social - I am socially inept after being in a small private school with limited social interaction and physical activities. After this, I did become a little perceptive with people and social environments, but I just suck at talking to people and making friends.
• 2) Drawing - I like the idea of drawing. Especially the fact that I like adorable things-- I want to draw adorable things. Especially adorable anime characters from animes I have watched. A lot of them are adorable. 
• 3) Academics - I'm a student with a few A's, occasional B's, and tend to get C's on major subjects such as math, history, and science.

[caramba2654 602]

Drawing. I can draw perfect circles and triangles and stuff, but I can't for hell draw like a simple cup of water! :v

 

Coding. I can do nice stuff and all, but I want to do more useful stuff... ¬¬

 

Guitar. I know I need to make the most boring exercises of the world to improve on that.

 

Typing speed. I type somewhat fast, but I want to be faster.
