Can you think of something you enjoy, but aren't necessarily very good at?

I think for the most part, many people prefer to do something they enjoy and are good at. Perhaps that’s part of why we enjoy something…simply because we’re good at it. (And vice versa, of course.) I think there’s actually a whole psychology behind it – sometimes we don’t engage in activities we know how to do, but aren’t very good at, because we’re afraid of embarrassment or that everyone around us will be better, instead of pondering whether or not this certain activity would be enjoyable for us despite our skill level and the skill level of others.

So what about the activities we aren’t as skilled in, yet still manage to really enjoy? Can you think of anything?

Now, I understand that whether or not you’re good at something can be very subjective and a lot of the time, the reason why we aren’t very good is because we’re still learning.

I know I have more, but for me, it would be bowling and chess. I love to play, but I’m terrible at each and despite getting my ass beat every time, I continue to play, simply because I have a good time.
