Yes, I do suck, I don't have any talent neither excel at anything. Since I was 14 I've been doing lot of things to find my talent, from art to sports... I suck, I was always too slow, clumsy or talentless. Now I'm 21, and I still don't knowing what it is "my thing", I don't even imagine myself in a near future, life is hard where I live, and I just feel like a just wanna die! I was in a class last Tuesday (currently in college), we had this topic and I feel like crap! I "understood" the topic, but when I tried to do the assignment, I couldn't, I was lost and I got very anxious and I wanted to cry, I controlled myself and I stopped the crying, but I still feeling very dumb!

@PurpleAndBlueSunStar Your English writing and language is pretty good compared to the other parts of the world. I think to be very good at something takes time and a lot of work. Is there anything you love to do, perhaps you can find some talent in those? And if not, are you willing to put hours of dedication into them? Don't be too hard on yourself if other things you do sometimes are not perfect or up to par. When you allow room to improve or accept that any situation can improve, it gives you space to breathe.

@PacificSunrise thank you, I wish I could be better with the English, but for that I need to move to a place where everyday I have to use the English, where I live most of people just say like three words in English "fuck, swag, so".

@PurpleAndBlueSunStar If that's the case in your community, does that mean you are more talented than them in English? You have used more words than those you've mentioned. Btw, sometimes we want something because it let us feel a certain way. What do you think being really good at something will bring you? How will you feel once you have it?

@PacificSunrise I think I'll feel great, because maybe with that talent I could do something for the world, even if it's something that people see like meaningless until they found somebody excel at it and could do it better than them.

@PurpleAndBlueSunStar Great! I like how you want to use your talent for the world. So if you want to find inspiration, you can read biography of famous people you like. You'll see that many of them go through a lot of trials before their talents are recognized. For an example, Thomas Edison had to fail trying to make a light bulb work over 700 times before he could get it right.
