You should work hard at what you are naturally better than others, working hard at what you are naturally worse is futileIn all seriousness, I'm in the same boat unfortunately. I'm completely and utterly talentless. I spent most of my adolescence coping and acting as if talent doesn't exist, but I've already moved past that now. It certainly exists, I just lack it in every aspect... I used to have this friend who was amazing at shooting games, and since I used to play them with him all the time, I became really competitive and wanted to match his skill level, or just be better entirely. Day after day, I would spend my free time practicing and training so that I could finally beat him—and I unironically put in hundreds of hours that I'll never get back.
It worked for the most part, I suppose. I became just as if not a little worse than he was. But...
Unfortunately, if he even put in a slight amount of effort, he would utterly destroy me and I wouldn't even come close to his skill. If he put in the same amount of time into training, he would easily become one of the top players of any shooter game. He just never cared enough to bother trying because he knew he was good enough. It was super demotivating and made me realize that hard work is meaningless when you're damned by Fate. The truth is that I was born a loser and there's nothing that I can ever do to change that.
I wrote about this a few days ago, but it really goes to show that the black-pill extends into thy general life far more than one would anticipate. You can 'improoooove' a skill of yours all you'd like, but there will always be someone better than you. And it's not like these people will be famous, generational talents—they're just random people around you who don't have to try. You'll try and rationalize why that is, acting as if those people must have put in a ton of effort into improving at said skill, but the truth is that they didn't even bother. You're just an inferior species struggling against the place he was cast into.
You'll just be mindlessly grinding away—repeatedly practicing a skill in a desperate attempt to improve a minescule amount like the Oofy Doofy you are. Meanwhile, your "friend" nextdoor just has to do something once and he's already better than you are.
That's what it means to be a loser.
The way people teach programming is part of the problemi cant do shit . i suck at programming , writing , etc. i dont really have a talent , i can barely write a program in c
I don't disagree—but losers such as myself are either completely talentless, or, as @autisticsoy said, talented at something useless. At that point why even bother trying?You should work hard at what you are naturally better than others, working hard at what you are naturally worse is futile
I believe you are lowballing yourself. Surely you have some talent. I think even being here already shows you are not completely conforming and have ego.I don't disagree—but losers such as myself are either completely talentless, or, as @autisticsoy said, talented at something useless.

Thank you for your kind words—but I can personally assure you, I am not talented at anything. I know myself better than anyone else, after all. And it's not like I haven't TRIED to find something I was talented at, either. I've tried many things, but I suppose I simply lack the aptitude to become even mediocre at them.I believe you are lowballing yourself. Surely you have some talent.

When we see others being good we go in awe, but when we are good we just think it's normal.
