There's a certain kind of confidence and pride that you get from being good at something, that is essential in making life more tolerable.I lack that.

Imagine actually being good at something, being able to hold your head high and walk out the door in the morning as a person of worth.

I always feel worthless, like a waste of oxygen and space. I'm not good at anything, I'm like a fraud, a baby acting like a grown-up.

I think being good at something is necessary to feel like a man, like a worthy human being. It pains me greatly that I am not. But I can't blame anyone but my lazy, undisciplined self.

Discipline is vitally important to being happy .
The Kid that waited for 2 candies grew up to be happier than the kid who instantly took 1 candy .

You become motivated to be good and try at something only if you have outside motivation, like praise and acknowledgement. Ugly children are treated shitty by their parents, who don't care enough about them to praise and acknowledge, therefore the child grows up to have no skills. It's 99% not your fault you're boring and useless.

That would be normal. I want to be good at driving. Standing up early in the morning full of energy, ready to hit my somewhat decent workplace with my BMW 316i year of construction 2004. Despite the fact that this is an ordinary life for plenty of people, for me it is just a dream. I am really nothing but a toddler.

a baby acting like a grown-up.

I know what you mean. This is my life as well.

You're pretty good at breathing, as far as I can tell you've never failed at that yet
