You are talking yourself out of this, finding any excuse you can muster. Why are you sabotaging yourself like this?

All three of my sons are musicians. I gave them guitar lessons, which they loved and ran with the music. The youngest is freaky good and we just realized he actually does have perfect pitch. He’ll sit and watch TV while playing his guitar and just start playing along with whatever music comes on the TV. He can hear a note and just play it. However, he had ADHD and isn’t loving his regular classes so much, only loves music right now. So, it’s a win on perfect pitch and not so much in other areas.

You are most likely much better at some things than this guy is, while he is better at other things than you. Sometimes, partners compliment each other in the things the other lacks and make a better team.
