what you do you get good at. if you don't have to maintain there is no point in getting good at it or any reason to think you will gradually get better at it.
This is normal, most people are like this. The idea that there’s something out there that you’re just amazing at without even trying very hard is a trap and believing it will destroy your life. You just have to pick something you want to be good at and do it until you are.
You don't have to be the best at something to get use out of it. Sounds like you need to think a bit more about what you actually want to achieve.
Whenever someone says they "aren't good at something" I'm fond of reminding them (and myself) that "you don't get better at something by _not doing it_".
Not hard enough. You can't become better if you aren't challenged.
Just because you can get good at something, doesn't mean it's not hard :)
You keep this up you will be mediocre at all the things that you do.You are seduced by the feeling of excitement which is easy to conflate with progress and competence.I guess some interests will have be postponed for some other time some other life some other you.Peace.
Don’t feel bad! To get better at something, you must be bad at it first. Consider improvements from feedback in this thread.
How about this: "Don't despair! If you lack aptitude, you can make up for it with time spent!"
Saying it's a skill issue just shows lack of imagination and ambition to make it better.
