Because I’m akward AF and have absolutely no hand-eye coordination. I always got picked last on every team I’d ever been on and the kids made fun of me.

Let me tell you a story, one that I don’t like sharing IRL.

One time my pe teacher started getting on my case about attendance again, so I decided to go (big mistake).

That day we were doing indoor sports and I had to do baseball. It was my turn at bat; swing one, two, three, I’m out, or so I thought. Then the teacher said the most cruel words I can remember in high school, “no outs. Keep swinging”. So there I stood, desperately trying to hit the fucking ball. Swing ten, swing fifteen. The whole class was laughing at me. Swing thirty, swing thirty five. “Come on its the same fucking pitch hit the ball loser”. Swing forty, swing sixty. Then finally, mercifully, I managed to somehow bunt the ball. I tried to just walk away but the teacher made me go to first base. I walked to first base basically in tears where they promptly tagged me with the ball and I walked off the field.

I think he didn’t want me to feel bad for striking out but it was so much worse. I didn’t go back to gym after that and the teacher never said anything again.
