To feel I’ve really achieved nothing of note

Lately I’ve been conscious of the fact that I’m not really great at anything- I’m not an excellent or even better than average singer/dancer/writer/musician/coder/athlete/whatever.

I think that’s probably pretty common, and that most people don’t stand out in life. I recognise that, yet over the last couple of years I’ve been nagged by a feeling that if I dropped dead, I would leave nothing of note bar my children. I feel I should be doing more somehow.

What is this strange unease and do others experience this? Is it a midlife crisis?! Am I about to run off with a younger man and buy a Ferrari? Is dying my hair blue and taking up competitive aerial yoga the only way to shake it?!

[quote WankPuffins]@RufustheSniggeringReindeer oh yes, he is a test and that was a horrible thing to say. But he was right. I’m not even that likeable. There’s nothing anyone could say about me.[/quote]
What do you mean you are not likeable. Don't be daft. You managed to find 2 people to marry! That means 2 people liked you enough to actually marry you🤷🏻 Even if the first one didn't work out, which just simply happens sometimes
