Hi people, I have a confession to make. I can't snap my fingers! Please don't laugh at me, although I know this sounds really pathetic. XD But whenever I try to snap, my fingers just wouldn't make that crisp sound. I know most people can do it, and it doesn't look hard at all. Maybe my skin is different? Finger structure? Sigh... Why can't I snap? Is there anybody out there who also can't snap? Or better yet, any good suggestions that will help me learn how to snap?
Thanks and happy Mylotting! :D

No problem. I can easily snap my fingers. It is simple. Bring your thumb and middle
finger together. Flip your middle finger down. Hey, Presto! The crisp snapping sound.
Your skin may be too smooth to produce any sound. You need some friction to create the snapping sound.

You make it sound so easy but I can't snap mine either.

Don't feel bad. I've never been able to whistle. But I can make a "pop" by putting my finger inside my mouth and pulling it against my inside cheek. Not everyone can do that.
I guess, just keep trying!

Thanks! Well, I tried to learn it from my brother, who can do it really well, but I just can't make that sound! (-_-) And now he's given up teaching me, instead, he laughs at me whenever I try to snap. XD

hi amuletgirl well you just met another person who cannot'snap her fingers either. I have tried off and on all my life'
and no my fingers will not make that snapping sound. I do not
know if its something in my fingers or what but I really
cannot snap my fingers.

Hello amuletgirl, you know i cant snap my fingers either haha so that make two of us. Also i couldnt whistle until last year and i cant do it well yet(probably if i practice more i could but i dont find it relevant so i dont really care). Sometimes it sounds but i think will never be able to make music while whistle. So i dont think its a big deal if you cant snap your fingers or whistle or making bubble gums(yeah cant do that either) :)

Push your middle finger and your thumb together very hard. So hard that they change color a bit. Then while pushing that hard,slide your thumb off the side. Do it as quickly as you can. One quick movement. Point your index finger towards the ceiling. Swing your forearm downward while you do it for a bit more momentum. Once you get the concept and practice you can do it without pushing so hard.
