Deep down, do you think you'd be very talented at something, if only you found something that interested you and you were passionate about?

I don't know, this may just be a huge cope, and I'm probably deluding myself.

The thing is, I haven't TRIED at anything in life. I never tried I just went with the flow and put the minimum amount of effort into anything in life. Shit, why was I so disinterested in everything and found everything pointless? I was like this from childhood, what the fuck is wrong with me? Why is everything so god damn pointless and unappealing to me, I don't fucking understand.

I wish I found something that I found worthy of trying and doing my best. Something that I wanted to pour my heart and soul into. Ideally something that could also make money eventually but that's beside the point.

Don't know and don't care

I am interested, but to anxiety-, autism- adhd- and depression-maxxed, I guess.

Also my liquid intelligence used to be good in my youth, so maybe there was talent? I always wonder what it takes to be talented besides hard work plus IQ and if I miss the criteria in some other important area to be successful. If it is work and social circle related most important is prolly to be a cunning calculating asshole over all. Wich psychology etc. would dissect this more, but the narrative is mostly build around gaslighting you with bootsstraps scams and keeping the rent seeking system running.

Idk I've played guitar for a lot of time now and still am not good at it, so I guess not

I thought talent comes naturally. How can it be talent if I'm passionate about it and work hard for it?. Wouldn't that be the opposite of talent?

I believe that talent is ingrained in people from childhood experiences. Most of my current talents have roots to childhood hobbies, such as drawing, and writing fictional stories, which are things i still do and enjoy very much. I didn't really acquire any new talents in adulthood, no matter how much I tried. So in a sense, talent is "born" during childhood.

I could probably be at least somewhat good at a lot of things
achieving stuff is often quite easy for me if I put my heart in it
but since I'm both schizoid and an incel, there's no way for me to muster any motivation to do anything
