I've decided that what I'm missing in life is to be good at something. I want to be talented. I would prefer to be talented in some form of art but I would accept talent in other areas. I want people to notice and respect me because I am talented and successful. Because I'm knowledgeable. I want to be the person other use as a resource in their efforts to become good at something. Sometimes I feel like I will never be that person. Of course there are those wonderful manic moments when I feel I am already that person! Do you guys have talent or are you hoping for talent like me?

I feel the same way you do, and I used to want to do something great with my life, but ever since I've been getting really bad mentally I've felt like I'm never going to do anything with my life. Except for those times where I'm delusional I feel I'm the most amazing person in the world and I'm mean to do something important that only I can do, etc.

I used to read a lot so I considered being very knowledgeable one of my talents I suppose, and right now it's mostly art, I'd love to be a graphic novelist some day. Smiley

I'm sure you're talented at a lot of things, you just have to find them. Smiley

I feel I have a talent for writing and singing. Whether this is true reality has yet to be seen, but this is what makes me happy so even if I am not someone who becomes famous, doing something that I love, is talent enough for me.

I'm good at being a bitch.  I Shit You Not hahaha...

but seriously.... I'm a good listener. Always have been. And I think that is my best quality. And not to toot my own horn, but others have told me this too.  I was good at making music mixes, web pages, graphics, etc. prior to medication. Whose to say if I would still be good at those things though, ya know?

Well saying I'm good at something that is not easy for me but I do love photography. I used to write a lot but lack of motivation and inspiration is kicking my ass.
