Do you ever dislike an activity you are good at?

Post Reply New Topic

Most any subject in school, I was good at, but I didn't especially like any of them. At least not the way they were taught in school.

Teachers always made a fuss over my writing and told me I should pursue a career in it. But I hated writing. It made me miserable. I felt like they were telling me I should torture myself for the rest of my life.

I was also very good at literary analysis, but god it was so nauseating when we had discussions about it in class. It sounded so f*****g pretentious and I hated hearing myself talk that way.

I'm good at sales, and I can't say that I totally dislike it, but it's not exactly my favorite thing ever. I just wish I wasn't so good at it, so I have gotten stuck in this line of work.

I had dislike a certain activity that I was good at because it draws attention.

So I kept it hidden, offline and online. But who knows when it'll be put into a good use for a surprise.

I hate viruses and generally fixing computers. I know how to remove most any virus... you know... besides the classes malwarebytes approach (doesn't always work hee hee). I am pretty good at tune ups and general computer fixing knowledge (including hardware fixes i.e port replacements). But no... I don't like doing it. It's annoying, frustrating, and usually tedious.

I temporarily want to step-away from Internet/computer use after awhile!

YES. Specifically, writing essays; I hate doing it, but somehow, I'm good at it. I hope I never have to write another one in my life.

I'm good at public speaking. I am burnt out on it. I hate doing it now. I'm also good at my job of helping people. I like it sometimes, but most of the time I am bored by it.
