Are you good in something?

[StillWaiting]

As mentioned in the title, I dont have anything I can be proud of.
I feel pathetic whenever I see people around me trying hard to improve themselves or good in something or when people who come to me to show off what they have done.
When I tell others that I am not good in anything, they tell me it is not true and when I ask them what I am good at, they were not able to answer.
Because of it, I feel horrible everyday.
But no longer have energy to try out something new anymore.

Is there anyone who feel the same?

I used to be good in skateboarding when I was a kid. Since I was a teenager, I became very proficient in firearms. Otherwise, no, I've got nothing.

At least that's something useful.
All I can think of is that I am good in whining how bad my life is.

What "being good at something" even means? Are you trying to impress someone or fulfill some expectation for you to be desiring that so much? Just accept yourself, and that will make you less anxious. Believe me: you may feel like a pathetic loser, but, if you put enough effort, you can evolve all past that title. By not spending so much time ruminating over your "defecvtiveness" you will be able to harvest more ways to develop your skills. Everyone is created equally; there is no such thing as "talent".

Only at being garbage it seems. I used to be more intellectual than my friends or classmates back in the days I was young, but hey .. That was long time ago.

 

[Conflicted Cat]

I'm absolutely skilless, but I don't fucking care, I don't have to prove myself to anyone.

Are you good in something ??? Nope … Not a thing. Even If I were … life would still be shitty.

I used to be good in skateboarding when I was a kid. Since I was a teenager, I became very proficient in firearms. Otherwise, no, I've got nothing.

I used to skateboard as well ... never got good, there weren't any skateparks (near me) to get good. Since you are proficient with firearms ... you could shoot me.

"Being good at something" is nice because it transcends a state of "stagnation" or stillness. No one wants to stay in the exact state, forever, we all want to evolve. Impressing people just comes with it.

I am someone who unfortunately isn't good at anything that genuinely interests me.This doesn't discourage me from continuing to work at/doing those things however, as I genuinely enjoy them, but there is a sort of discomfort that comes with not reaching the heights you desire.

 

[deflagrat]

I am completely useless. I don't care.

 

[woxihuanni]

There are several things I am good at, does not help a blind bit in the end. I'd say not to worry too much.

The best thing I am good at, is continuing to be a worthless piece of shit.

I used to be thin and athletic when I was little. I first started at 8 by just riding it around but I learned to ollie a few months after turning 10, and then shortly later shove-it's and then pop-shove-its to doing them on vert ramps. For my 11th birthday my mom had gotten me a box ramp (kicker, bridge and wedge) and I used it frequently. I reached my peak at 12 when I could drop in on half-pipes, boardslide (short) handrails and maybe land the occasional kickflip. Then I took the summer off and moved to a shitty townhouse that had poor-quality asphalt and no longer had any out-of-school friends to skate with so I had lost a lot of endurance after I began to stay indoors all day. Then I moved again at 13 and I became an extreme shut-in when I was taken out of public school to be homeschooled until I attained my GED at 18. During that time I became an agoraphobe, SSRI's, no exercise, MMO escapism, becoming fat and sluggish over a span of several years. It was amazing how fast things had changed in such a short period of time!

After having a "mid-life crisis" at 19, I tried to get back into it but it just wasn't the same at all and although I've retained a surprising amount, it was almost as if I was right back at square one. It was my first passion. It was my life. Just being reminded of skateboarding over the past 15 years has made me periodically want to stick a 12-gauge in my mouth. Back when I had something...

 

[burnedCookie]

yes, I am definitely very good at procrastinating, if it had been a job I would have made a very good living
I'm good at sleeping and eating tons of junk food without gaining weight or being sick too

"Gave up everything in life" this includes my parents..i hardly talk to them anymore

 

[Nanimoaru]

Nah I'm not really good at anything
But its ok

 

[Darkhaven]

No, i suck at everything that's considered worthy of "being good at": sports, music, art, studying, driving, you name it.
Can't boast of anything. I'm a useless and worthless piece of trash.

I used to be a really talented baseball player, I even got a scholarship. But after sh*t hit the fan I lost my scholarship and couldn't play for a while... now I'm mediocre at best and I can't focus on anything enough to be good at it. Makes me wish I could go back in time and remember what it felt like to have something to be good at.

It sucks when people come to you and boast about their things and you can't boast back...

 

[Darkhaven]

Yeah it sure does.
And it's even worse when you could boast in the past but you can longer do it because of something that you had no control over...

I know right.
Used to be able to get good grades until I became depressed and anxious over small little things.

I'm really good at maxing out credit cards.

I am not good in anything anymore but I've also decided not to care about it anymore. I don't want or need to impress anyone, I don't need to prove my value to anyone. People around me disgust me, why would I want to prove myself worthy to them, they'd still consider me a freak and a failure. I don't care about some sheeple opinions, I hate them. I mentioned drawing pictures few times. I'm not good at it but I just enjoy doing it, it's fun. I do it for myself, I keep the drawings for myself and don't show them around. And even if I tried very hard and turned this pleasant hobby of mine into hard work, destroying its original purpose and value, and improved 10 times, what would that accomplish? I could visit some random deviantart page and see stuff still 100 times better than mine. So no point in stressing myself out. Sure I want to improve in time but for myself, not to impress anyone. And @StillWaiting, those around you showing off are probably good mostly at showing off. Sheeple love to do that even when they're not too good at anything, but they're young, stupid and self-righteous.
