Spanish! I've been trying to learn it for a decade now, and even have a genuine bilingual girlfriend and still have issues learning it. Probably the only thing I know is "yo tango hombre" and "come churro pues".

Handwriting. Mine's just awful. I've tried many things over the years, like only writing with typed letters, different kinds of cursive and cursive-ish ways of writing, etc. It's gotten slightly better over the years(more or less readable for most people now), but not much more than 2 years ago it was basically unreadable for anyone but myself(sometimes, even I couldn't read it). At one point during elementary school (6th grade, I think, at 11 years old), a physiotherapist tested me to see if something was wrong with my hands, but found nothing.

I think the reason why it is this bad has to do with how we learned to write. We had this book in first grade teaching us how to write all the letters, and I hated it. For my 6 year old brain, it was basically torture, my mom had to force me to do it, which I don't think helped, either.

Piano. But to be fair I never really went 100% and put in the time and effort to improve greatly, I really should soon, don't want to get too old and regret not doing something that interests me so much.

I always found piano to be hard. After watching people on YouTube that have been playing 10+ years and still sounding nowhere near proficient I said never mind. I still like playing with synths though!

Not exactly a talent, but touch typing. I've been using computers very regularly for many years, but I can only type at about 50wpm. Although I am above average, you would expect that someone who types as much as me would be significantly faster.

Time-management which leads to procrastination...eh I'll figure it out later.

Mine is guitar. Been playing for about 10 years but after the 6-7th year my skills just flat out refused to get any better. I am to the point where I just play what I know and give up on practicing.

2 years here. I barely play. Aside from several popular riffs, I can't play anything. I know, I have to try harder, but I didn't improved in the last year. I think the only solution is to take some lessons, I can't learn if I play solo in my room.

2 years is nothing and I'm pretty sure that I get angry too fast..

Same here, except I've given up. I could never get the hang of working the fret board and even after a couple of years I couldn't move smoothly between chords.

I'm at the same exact level. I've been playing for about the same amount of time, though I plateaued way sooner. Maybe 3 years? I'd only be able to be a rhythm guitarist at most, I think.

Not sure that it's a talent, but: self control.
