Thanks. I think your comment is close to how I sometimes feel.

Nobody who writes like you do could possibly be described as ordinary.

Thanks for your comment. I made a needle case for my mother once, in a sewing lesson at school. She was thrilled with it and my father kept his screwdrivers in it.

Thanks. I never did. But I didn't want not to be good at some things.

Thanks for posting but I was sorry to hear this. I only get the feeling some of the time; can't imagine always feeling that way. You write on Blogit so that skill alone should help you to move away from the nilhilists?

Thanks. I usually do remind myself of things I'm less bad at and the skills I really want to have but, just sometimes, I wonder...

Thanks for your comment. Let's stick together in an unskilled kind of way?

There are some blogs that I visit which make me
feel the way you describe. However, I understand that there are a few things within my field that they wouldn't have a clue about, too. It all plays out in the end.

I have a much younger brother who is recognized as an artist/musician and can do things with his hands---plumbing, carpentry, electric wiring, you name it. He seems to be good at everything he tries, even "women's" things like cooking, sewing and he makes me feel inadequate.

I feel very ordinary most of the time.

Sometimes I do
but being a typical Gemini, I could never concentrate on just one or two areas of speciallity. I do wish that I'd known earlier what path I wanted to follow with my career, 'cos once I get something I really love, I stick to it. I wouldn't have specialised but I would have spent more time on learning about writing and painting.

I Have not Felt That Way
For some reason I am attracted to people who feel that way. It is the opposite attract syndrome!! For me, I get the chance to use the skills that I have! If you would like a suggestion, focus more on the gifts and strengths that you have, then anything else will appear minuscule.. Nice post!!
