How do I find what I'm good at?

I always feel like I'm never the best at things. I'm usually average. Which really irritates me because I try so hard to succeed but nothing happens. I think I'm afraid of failure. Is it possible that maybe there's nothing I'm good at?

    technically all the people are good at something but practically because they don't have the patience/opportunity/chance/mood/enough knowledge/etc they don't go after them. you have to go do things to find out what you are good at. you cannot sit at home and do nothing and expect becoming good at something. no one from the beginning is good. they work and work and work so they become at what they do. you have to do things. learn new things. learn music. learn a new language. learn designing web. work out and get a healthier body. ....... there are hundreds of things you can do to know which one you are good at. some people become good at many things at the same time because they did this when they were younger. for example i learned how to work with computers when i was 10 years old (now i'm 21) and now i'm very good at it. i learned music when i was 15 and now i play piano and guitar. i learned 3 new languages in 4 years and now i am good at them. right now i am working out to have a healthier body. i am also going to get my bachelor degree next year so i will have greater opportunities. what i am trying to say here is that some people become very good at one thing for example someone is good in photographing and nothing else. and some people study different things at the same time and become good in many things but they do not (and maybe they will) reach the perfect level. and some people don't do anything and are waiting for a miracle. this won't happen. you have to do things and doing things requires learning.

    good luck ;)

    First of all thank you to your recommendation on my query. Now for yours, I'd advise preventing with the tweeting and texts and feature a center to center in man or woman. If you real suppose she is the only then why preserve anything like that from her. How have you learnt in which your friendship will cross or how she feels if you're maintaining it to your self. Now all this combating and on and off "we're speakme and we're peers, and now we don't seem to be speakme or peers" does not trouble you. It sounds slightly such as you 2 are forcing verbal exchange. You 2 must wish to talk to each and every and notice one an additional if there are truly emotions there. Any manner like I stated simply begin via sitting her down and divulge heart's contents to her. If it does not become the best way you wish it then you realize you probably did take a look at. Go to sleep realizing that you simply did the quality you would. You shouldnt have a dating in which there's a loss of verbal exchange. Be honest and speak matters out, give up the combating and video games. Everything will finally occur and be the best way it is believe to occur and be.

    It's possible that you may never "find' what you're good at. It all has to do with what you love doing and what's in your interest. If you're more passionate about something you're more likely to work harder to be good at it because it's worth the effort. People aren't just magically good at something, but there are those people who just seem to be naturally "gifted". Still, it didn't come to them with a snap, they were just able to get it faster than the average person. It still required a little work and concentration.

    You just have to wait til you find something your good at. That's what I believe. I'm average too. But then again... you never know. Gotta look hard enough, eh?
