Unless you're incapable of learning new things then I wouldn't be too down about not being good at anything at this moment in time.

You have to have something, everybody has talents.


i dont

You could cut an orange with that sharp wit o' yers.

You can lighten up any situation.

Those are just from what people see online. I'll betcha if you asked someone who knows you personally in real life, they'd tell you more.


thats very nice of you but being sarcastic and bitter isnt really a talent when other people are listing true skills like playing instruments etc

and if you asked a RL person they would have nothing to say



Having the ability is enough, you just haven't found anything you want to do enough. I was like that once but then went out of my way to prove myself, I feel a little embrarrassed about it now because I should have had more confidence in my abilities and not given a f**k about what other people think.

You kiddin'? Any ol' fool can play an instrument. :P

You have talent in something, you may not have found it yet, but you will and you do.

And you could always get one the old fashioned way, choosing something you're interested in and working hard to get good at it. I have literally no natural talent but still learned to make music decently. You can do iiiit! :D

That's how I learned how to run...I used to have a 13 minute mile time...I more than slashed in half that way. 8)

Being able to improve constantly at whatever takes my interest even if that happens to be something I'm not naturally suited for. I'm single minded.

exactly my feelings, except i think you misunderstand what intelligence/talent is. It's all about problem solving ability, that working hard is solving constant problems and working out how it all works. You're a lot more talented than you make out, you're too humble. You'd do well at whatever you tried your hand at, you just constantly improve and that's exactly how I am. The key is being adventurous enough to try new things..

I can solder like a machine. That skill made me some money before the job market tanked.

I realized I was very good at aggravating and confusing people two years ago.

I can play guitar a bit.
By a bit I mean I'm about the only person I know who doesn't class me as a good guitarist

I can play pool
Well, getting there

I'm sure I can do much more than that but there are times when I feel like they're the only talents I really have, and even then I know that I have shortfalls, but I can only do my best to improve them.
