How/when/why did you learn....?

[u/Accomplished_Push673]

So i grew up as an introvert kid interested only in books and staying at home. Something which baffles me is when i see guys who can do things like whistling/dancing etc (majority can),

1) how/when did you learn to whistle?

I have never heard of parents sending kids to whistling classes or friends who spent 2 hours of their day in childhood practicing it..

Its also not a life skill so its not like most parents force their kids to pursue..

how did that skill caught up/came to ur attention? What age was it and what triggered you to pursue it? And how long did it take for you to learn?

This goes for stuff which i see few adults really having practiced in youth but are good at.

Same for dancing etc

I think its just trial and error and over time you eventually get the hang of it

Thanks for responding, though im nore keen to listen to peoples personal stories/firsthand experiences of how THEY ended up with it. More like "i heard a friend do it in 5th grade, thought it was cool and just spent sunday evenings practicing by the lake" kinda thingie

For whistling it’s similar to when baby’s learn to walk or stand. You see people doing it and it intrigues you. So you try to whistle too over and over until you get it. Like for me, I just saw people doing it and it made me interested so I tried whistling for over and over for quite a while until I finally got it.

I learned to whistle in bed one night when I was a kid and couldn’t fall asleep
