To think I don’t have any talents ?

So many people seem so accomplished in creative things - be it music, art, crochet, knitting, felting etc.

Others are excellent at sports or public speaking, poetry, creative writing, graphic design, photography, even blogging or vlogging.

I don’t feel I’m particularly ‘good’ at anything.

Someone once told me I’m good at writing emails! And I’ve been told I have an okay singing voice. But to be honest, I just coast along , never being particularly good at anything. Just managing to get by and look as if I know what I’m doing…

I guess I’m just wondering if I’m alone in feeling this way.

No talents here at all!

This is really quite normal.

Lots of people have interests but aren't really terribly talented at them.

That pretty much sums me up too. I have interests but never really excelled at anything.

Not just you OP! There’s various things I like to do but I’m mediocre at most of them. But it doesn’t really matter - doing things you enjoy because you enjoy them is reward enough?
