For me, it's the inability to focus and the need for excitement. I could never knit. I tried to learn with a church group once, and they said I talked too much! I can't read fiction, but I can read nonfiction if I am interested in the subject. I have no patience for regular tv shows, but I can tolerate some of reality tv. I can't swim in our home swimming pool, but I can have a great time at a water park.
All of these things really bother me because I need exciting situations in order to enjoy life with my children. They ask me to do regular stuff, such as playing a board game or a game of basketball, and I can't do it, not because I don't want to spend time with them, but because the idea of focusing on one activity for any amount of time is too hard!
