I just wish I could be interested or good at something I know how you feel op
>>
It's okay.
I have no interest in anything beyond the first step.

You just have to lower the bar you set yourself. You'll feel better.

Yes, this is me mostly. I just don't seem to have the mental energy or strength to stick with anything very long.

Have a bit of programming ability but mostly my knowledge is way out of date for the above reason.
>>
Here.

I can learn things and do tests but outside of actual lessons I can never remember or apply anything I've learned. And I can never see myself doing anything with what I've learned. It doesn't feel natural.

Talentless skilless fag reporting.

There are a few billion other people who probably are in the same spot. I just hope that when my family hates me one day ill be able to kill myself properly.
>>
Giving up because off lack of motivation and belief in yourself doesn't mean you don't have any talent
>>
>>27576658
This. I try a lot of new things all the time, but lose interest quickly even of I'm enjoying it.
>>
>>27578257
this
though it means you might never discover and develop it

>tfw lack of motivation to pursue anything bc low self-esteem
>tfw low self-esteem bc no meaningful and creative hobbies
>>
Whenever I try something new I just immediately quit because the internet ruined my attention span and anything that isn't immediately satisfying turns me off like a light.
Now the only things I can do are literally the meme hobbies of watching anime and playing video games.
I should just inhale helium and end it already.
>>
talent isn't a thing you are born with
you can only be born with determination

do you think abos are good at football because of some coon-footy gene?
OR do you believe that they get good at football because there is fuck all else to do in the middle of bumfuck nowhere?
>>
>>27576386
same here op
I have literally no talents
not marketable skills
if someone asked "why should I hire you?" I would have no answer

I can draw alright I guess but I will never get better because I dont practice
>>
Same. I've stuck with things for years, however, namely writing and specific games, and haven't gotten much better.
>>
>>27576386
It's a lack of motivation for me. Things aren't that hard for me and I did really well in school. The problem is I have absolutely no interest in learning things and I don't find anything other than vidya to be enjoyable.

i use hand work and enthusiasm to mask my incompetence.

i make myself look helpful yet inside im well aware im fucking terrible at everything i do. a big claim, yet evidently true.

Don't worry, Anon, you're among friends. You can't be a robot if you don't have a shitty defeatist attitude.
>>
>>27576386

If I have the motivation, the will, the means and the sheer fact that I have no other choice than to learn a skill to survive, how can I overcome my fucking awful attention span?

I'm a 27-year-old NEET who has literally no friends and no commitments in my life whatsoever, if I really wanted to I could spend 20 hours a day practicing to draw/paint, but I just can't for the life of me focus for longer than 2 or 3 minutes

This is torture desu
>>
try to make it accessible so that you can pick it up any time easily.
and try to enjoy yourself, play more practice less.

the thing with adults learning new skills is they tend to think that they need to practice a lot in order to get good. whereas kids stumble upon things and curiosity drives them forward, to them it is mostly play. of course kids practice too.
you must realise that you practice to have more fun playing.

It's because you need discipline. People that have "talent" got it because they worked hard and practiced, even if they didn't want to.

are you one of those people?
or are you a bullshitter trying to reaffirm his beliefs?

I'm mediocre to bad at everything I do

I've played thousands of hours of video games and I still play them on Easy

some people are just meant to be unhappy useless retarded shits like me, I guess
>>
>>27579601
I agree with you, but to this day I can't beat myself out of laziness and frustration, I've given up at this point.
>>
>>27579723
Force yourself to playing in hard, even if you get frustrated. That's the only way to git gud.
>>
>>27579723
How can that be any fun? I play on harder difficulities nowadays because i don't like blazing through everything, and i like dying and getting better.
>>
>>27580067
I guess he never gets better so it's like hard mode ever.
>>
>>27580067
it's hard to get better when you never improve.
>>
>>27581126
It's hard to improve if you always play in easy mode
>>
>>27580067

I play on easy to veg out sometimes, it's like a screensaver

I used to play bot games on my own in tf2 like this for hours
