What things do you lack knowledge in...

Post Reply New Topic

but most people have more knowledge than you in?

For me, it is most things that are non-academic (now you know how nerdy I am) but I particularly lack knowledge of music people listen to and video games. I don't know why, somehow somewhere along the way, I lagged behind in knowledge of those things and now I can't seem to know where to start. And it is impeding my conversation with other people. Another thing I lack knowledge in is famous actors in movies, but for that I always think "who cares? Its following the plot thats important."

I don't know anything about sports, or politics, or cars, or who the current famous actors and musicians are. I've never had any interest in them, and it doesn't look like I'll be getting any, anytime soon. Oh, and going by the OP's choices, I don't know anything about video games, either. The only one I've ever played was Pong, when it was new. My reaction to it was "meh."

Hair, clothes, guys, make-up and sex.

Fashion's a big one for me. Currently all my wardrobe consists of is oversized t-shirts and sweatpants for casual wear, and blouses and jeans for church. Like CockneyRebel, I also lack experience in regards to having relationships with men (I've never had a boyfriend before).

Sanskrit. I cannot translate Sanskrit.

I lack knowledge in a variety of things...current events, famous people, fashionable clothing, how to make friends and maths.

MATH ,what I mean when I say I am bad at math is that I cant do it at all seems most people can at least multiply and divide, but for me it ties my brain in a knot. I am trying to turn that around though by reading "Mathmatics for dyslexics and dyscalculia"
My secound would be grammer and spelling (if you havent noticed)
Luckily reading is a strong point for me, I read at least a book per week (sometimes I speed read and other times I take my time), but for some reason my brain never remembers spelling

The ways of the world.

Sexual politics, mostly. I know the basic ins and outs of the whole deal (so to speak...), but something just doesn't seem to click.

Celebrity gossip puzzles me, too. If Janet is leaving John because John had an affair with Janine, the first thing that comes into my head is "so what? It's not like the world's going to end." I just don't understand the interest some people have in the lives of people they'll never, ever meet.

Languages, current television programs.

Celebrity culture, most TV and most movies. Fashion, hair and beauty. Sport. Computer games (apart from fairly basic things like Super Nisqually ). And while I'm much better financially than I used to be, a lot of people seem to know more about the ins and outs of money (investment, savings and what have you) than I do.

Sexual politics...well, let's say being married makes me very glad I don't have to go out there and do the whole dating thing, because these days I wouldn't know where to start.

Oh yes, and...kids and what to do with them. Hardly surprising really.

Definitely sports, as I am not interested in most of them, especially football (soccer). Also some parts of science and maths, there are some parts of them that I just find too hard to learn.
