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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Writing. I'm just terrible with verbal communication, my mind just isn't centered around words.

Art in general, I start out half decent but can't really do better than half decent no matter how many classes or book or practice

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.

Learn languages I'm terrible at it. Programming languages no problem, but like French and stuff. I suppose that's the curse of being a visual learner.
