What about something that everyone else thinks is easy but it's difficult for me?

Whistling. I'm fucking 35.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

it's genetic. some people just don't have the right mouth shape to whistle easily. just like you might not be build for distance running or power lifting. we all have different dispositions. i'm super flexible and i'm in my 40s. often way more flexible than kids. i've always been that way.

Once I took this giant thc gummy and learned how to whistle quite loud. Went to sleep, woke up and can't do it anymore 😭

It's funny you say that. When I was a child, I could whistle for one day. It just... Worked all of the sudden. But, like you, I slept and then could never do it again.

My younger brother, who taught himself how to play guitar, was amazed that I can whistle in tune.

Reminded me of a time when my gf's dad blamed video games for why gf and I can't whistle.
