I think it's a matter of self esteem rather than what you're good and bad at. You can be good at everything you do but there is always someone who will be better and there will always be someone better than that person and so on.

So what can we do? Well learn to love what we can do already, be grateful for our talents and keep practicing at what we love to do so we can get better :]

I know you're probably thinking bs lol
When I read my own advice it's hard to believe I never take it, but it's the truth.

I never am happy about anything I succeed in doing, even if it's better than others I am not happy. I think it's because I am not happy with myself and that's where the problem is. Perhaps that is your problem too?
I think that might be my problem too El. I agree with your advice, but I wish my mind would believe that it was possible to do, to get into that mindset that you describe. That must be the hardest part
