Poll: Do you feel Untalented?

[Jenkins]

The reason I decided to make this poll was for the sole fact that I feel completely untalented while everyone I know is talented in many different ways I realized im just bland. I cant do jack crap which makes me depressed, does anyone else feel this way?

 

[similar.squirrel]

I guess so. I'm okay at everything, but I don't excel in any particular area. Still, it's not so bad.
Important thing is not to let it get to you, because then you stop trying altogether and truly become useless. Do what you enjoy.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

The way I like to type on my keyboard and give off objectional comments makes me feel good about myself.

Calumon: I can fly... that's kinda special.

I felt pretty untalented until I looked at my hands and realised that they were perfect guitar hands. I started playing again and I'm picking it up again very quickly.

 

[darkgoonos]

I did at one point but when I started public speaking and playing guitar jesus I felt so good

 

[Jenkins]

I wish I could play an instrument. but im 6'3 and I have huge feet and hands. I hands are too big to play a guitar efficiently, cant dance and people dont trust me with equipment thats expensive. my untalentness/self esteem problem is so low I dont even want to get into a car to learn to drive because I feel like its too much to handle and ill kill someone. ugh.

 

[Ekonk]

I don't mean to brag, but there are a few things I'm good at. First and foremost drawing. I can't play any instrument though. Would love to, maybe later in life.

 

[Brightzide]

I'm a good singer and screamer( so i've been told ). Currently looking for a punk rock or metal band I can join or form, to reach my full potential as a washed up musical artist aged 30, with liver failure and ridiculous amounts of body hair

 

[Alandoril]

No, I don't feel untalented. However, as a poet and short story writer I do feel incredibly underappreciated...there's literally zero room for people like me anywhere, unless "contacts" (i.e. rich friends) open doors.

There's no indication that companies and newspapers are going to realise the value of decent writers anytime soon either.

 

[Wadders]

Yeah, I dont really have any skills to speak of either.

I'm alright at clay pigeon shooting but only because I've been doing it for ages. Every time I go shooting with the club at Uni I'm reminded of how average I am at it really though.

And I'm quite good at writing history essays for Uni too, I seem to get pretty good grades for them. According to my turors I have a great writing style. I'm not sure what perticulat style that is though. But again, I've been writing them for 2 years in college before I started Uni...

I guess so. I'm okay at everything, but I don't excel in any particular area. Still, it's not so bad.

Words of wisdom, right there.

You aren't bland you just haven't discovered your talent yet.I discovered that I am better and Judo than others because they kicked my ass at kyokushin.Try martial arts or playing an instrument or something.

 

[Palademon]

I have no talent in anything. I fail at drawing stickmen. I played an instrument for 2 years only to be continually moved down groups since I was at a stand-still. I'm not even very good at games and havent played tons that people love.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I dabble in most things but there's nothing I've ever really excelled at.
I can play an instrument and other things but I'm not sure I'd go as far as talented.

My essay-writing skills let me down in school. They're the reason I mightn't be going to college just yet.

Do you know of Type O Negative? Their bassist was Peter Steele. He could play a double bass like a bass guitar. He is my goddamn idol. And I think he was around 6'6 or 6'7, I don't remember. Use your height to your advantage. I'm 5'4 and I can only dream of doing things like that.

Spoiler: You can see him play bass at 0:43, 1:07, 1:15, and so on.

And I don't feel untalented, but I do feel kind of inferior. I guess I'm fairly good at a lot of things, but I'm not extraordinarily talented in any one of them. I'm completely unexceptional.

I feel as if I was born with 10 'talent points' for lack of a better term, and they were spread evenly between five different things, so I have two talent points for each of them, instead of having 10 points assigned to one particular thing. Very pathetic example, but that just about explains it.

 

[Jonluw]

I don't really know. I don't have any specific talent that I know of; but I am rather good at picking up the basics on any given subject.

Being incorrigibly twee and nauseatingly adorable can hardly be called a 'talent'. But then again it must be, how else can one explain how well you mask that blackened heart that beats within?

I have a talent actually, not a big one: I am very good at making pillows out of small, cuddly rodents of inexplicable origin.

 

[Outright Villainy]

I'm... okay at guitar I guess? My soloing ability is pretty much non-existent, but I'm a decent rhythm player.

 

[Simple Bluff]

I can pi... touch my nose with my tongue. I can't actually play the piano or mouth organ per se, but I seem to be pretty good at faking it.
And JRPGs. I'm kickass at those.
