What things are you a failure at doing?
Me: anything a handyman might do, I suck at fixing and assembly of most things.
Wrapping presents or things that involve using scissors.
Having patience with other drivers

I suck at failing. In anything. I'm pretty much awesome in everything. It's a burden I somehow manage to live with everyday.

I'm pretty bad at transitioning women from dating to a relationship, especially on the East coast. Women here are much different than the Midwest.

The handyman thing for me, too. I either can't do it, can't do it as well as a more skilled person could or can do it as well, but it'd take twice as long or so.

I had a deer run into my passenger door a couple weeks ago when we had all of the fog. Pushed my mirror in.
Could have tagged it for ya...

What I've learned about "handyman" things, is that it just takes the slightest bit of self confidence, and the willingness to actually just give it a try. Most things are not too hard if you're just willing to give it a shot.Heretic;1770348 wrote:The handyman thing for me, too.

This probably applies to the anxiety thread, but I feel like there was some type of event or series of events that his making it hard for you to shake the anxiety.sportchampps;1770322 wrote:Ugh Most everything right now

As for the handyman thing, I have found watching youtube videos has worked for my handyman repairs. Luckily I am renting now, so if i fuck up, I can just have the landlord send somebody. I wish I learned how to be handy growing up though. It's crazy how more and more people rely on paying for services instead of learning themselves.

Never did anything handyman until I bought a house. So far have mounted 2 TV, run cables through drywall out to outlets, took down a fan, hung a light and rehung the fan in another room, installed some new shutters/blinds and hung new crap (i.e. Different brand/color than what was there) the wife wanted in the bathroom...which included patching the old holes in drywall.
Had no clue going in how to do any of it. Had a buddy help with the light, but it's simple. Everything was easy to figure out on he internet, then just have to make sure you don't skip a step.

I have youtube'd a couple of things recently. I am better than I used to be. I also find that if I have the right mindset that I have a lot more patience and am more functional at fixing/assembly. But I'm still terrible.like_that;1770382 wrote:As for the handyman thing, I have found watching youtube videos has worked for my handyman repairs.

Sleeping. I work night shift three nights a week so the other four nights I go to bed around 1-2am, wake up between 5-6am, can't go back to sleep. Usually nap later in the morning or afternoon. My wife has same schedule and doesn't struggle like I do, but it doesn't help we have a 16 month old.
