UGH i'm so useless, what now?

Question

I read that Everyone is supposed to have a talent that no one else has that makes them unique and special.... I believe thats wrong. I don't have a useful talent, im not unique, or special. If theres something out there i do well i know theres hundreds of ppl out there that do that job better wayyyy better. I feel useless in this world, i dont serve a purpose in this world and therefore have no goals!!! Im afraid of school, its hard. I have no perseverance, and dont see why god created me. It is said he gave me a talent, but what about 'said' talent!! I dont have one! I actually mustered the energy to get my hw done CORRECTLY ,but now what? 175 days more of this... i wont make it. Im pretty sure if i didnt exist in this world it wouldnt be much worse... maybe better idk. *What can i do to unleash 'said' talent or be useful in this world.* BTW im also easily depressed if not already depressed.

Answer 1

listen james...a simple talent

should not be so important to you...

right now, your feeling like just a drop of

water in an ocean. only YOU know what

makes you, you. and only YOU know what you

want to become and only YOU will make sure that

you have it.(alot of you's, im sorry)

pay attention to your thoughts, behaviors,

and values and work on what you need to change.

Sometimes we don't know our purpose or our talent until we are past using it.  I never felt like I was special at anything, but going into a helping profession can help with that.  YOU may be the person who helps that one person, and you may never even know it, but you probably will.  If you get a chance, read the the book, "The Five People You Meet In Heaven"by Mitch Albom, or rent the video. Its not about religion at all. Reading the book takes about the same time the video runs.  My husband reads about one book every five years, and this was one of them.  

If you just keep doing the right thing, everything will be alright.  Hang in there.  HS is the hardest time in the world.  It gets better I promise!

Answer 3

Having a talent doesn't mean being the best in the world.  It means being able to do something well.  If you have a talent for acting, for example, you can bring a great deal of pleasure to people through amateur dramatics; you don't have to be a Hollywood star.

Your talents benefit the people you interact with, and in that sense you make the world a better place.

And by the way, getting your homework done correctly will have brought pleasure to your teacher.  But I know when you're in school teachers don't always seem like people...

You seem to be saying you don't know what your talents are, but if that's the case you're probably being too hard on yourself.  I'm willing to bet you're probably a compassionate person and therefore a good friend.  And that in itself is a talent many people don't have.  

Hang in there; I have no doubt that you are very talented and that many people are glad you're you.

Answer 5

Since you mentioned God...

Ecclesiastes 12:13- The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the [true] God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole [obligation] of man.

You will find your thang, give it time.
