aibu - a rant

Disclaimer this is terribly woe is me

AIBU to be utterly crap at everything??

After some reflection today I have discovered I have no skills or talents. I cannot list a single thing I am good at.
I hate how reliant I have become on other people - I feel like a permanent burden.

I am not even talking about anything impressive. Basic things like cooking or driving a car. I can't even swim properly or ride a bike.

Definitely isn't due to a lack of time and effort either. I spend ages trying to learn new skills and only ever end up frustrated and drowning in self pity haha.

I get by at work but definitely don't do anything that requires any talent.

I had okay grades in school but I'm dyslexic so struggled with reading and writing. I have zero creativity. I attempted to play an instrument but struggled a lot. I enjoy exercise but again nothing special. I have no family of my own. I'm crap in keeping in touch with friends.

Is there any hope for me?!

I know what you mean.. sometimes I think I haven't achieved anything in life, but then I suppose we can't all be high flyers.. I think you sound a little depressed? I'm sure you're lovely.

Yes there’s hope! Would you like to learn to be good at something? It takes practice and. consistency but I’m sure there’s an interest you could develop if you wanted to.

and if not, that’s okay. It’s only capitalism that says you’ve got to strive. It’s okay to just breathe :)

You come across as a nice person, so that's something you're not crap at!

You can't get through life without driving, riding a bike, swimming, playing a musical instrument.
If fine to be ok at exercise (no competition needed unless you are training for something)
Cooking - keep it simple, you don't have to be on masterchef.
You cope at work and sound a perfectly normal, decent human.
Crack on!

You sound a bit like me, I'm mediocre at best. But people like me, you sound nice. Don't put expectations on yourself. Just be you .
