So, I'm 15 and I have no talents what so ever. All my friends have these super awesome obvious talents and then theres me....talentless me. Like, I'm positive there is nothing special about me. Everything I do I suck at. And I'm not one of those that just quits I actually work at stuff and try to be really good at it, but then other people start doing it and they are sooo much better at it then me that the only sane thing to do is quit.
I'm not super pretty, can't sing, draw, play and instrument ect... everyone thinks I'm so confident and stuff when I really feel like such a talentless loser. So. Enough of me whining. What is my freaking talent?! How do I find it? Am I just destined to be an un-special talentless girl? Thankks in advance.

I'm in my 40's and I still remember my teenage years around your age. Honestly it was the worse time in my life. I was also talentless.
However, I discovered that I could do many things as I got older. And, if you are successful in your job, when your in your 40's you can do the things you've always wanted to do and the heck with everyone else!
As an example, I was in Burma (Myanmar) and I felt upset that no American's understood Burma. So I picked up this camera and made this video. It won first prize at an international film festival for Best Music Video.
Look at me though, I'm still a dork but by God I'm helping people learn about Burma. I'm pretty proud of my self by just getting awareness out there. (hey, and the best thing about growing through those tough years is that I'm cool with calling myself a dork!)
By the way this is all true.
So in short, you don't have to be talented to make a difference. I'm making a difference and I clearly have no talent.
Oh yea, one final thing, all those people around you now, that won't matter at all two days after you graduate from High School. Focus on what you want, as talents or abilities and most importantly, the desire to make a difference will become a part of you.
Good luck at the toughest time in your life, in my opinion.
I couldn't sing either.... well I still can't.. ha ha ha.

Have you been told that your not super pretty? Has anyone heard you sing? have you show your art to others? Buy drums and bang on those when you feel like whining. If you whine long enough "bingo" your a drummer!! TALENT!!
I was just joking on that last part!! Just hoping it would get you to smile!
You've got all the time in the world to find your hidden talents.
When you get to be 40 yrs old or so and you ask yourself that question, then you may want to worry!

Well, you're REALLY good at complaining! Try to hone that.
Trying different hobbies such as drawing,kick boxing, bowling, pool, and sewing can show you what you never knew what you were capable of.
I did notice that you're grammar is impeccable! Most people do not care to type properly, so that's one talent for you. Are you good at writing stories or essays? Do you enjoy giving out advice.
Also, you have the talent of resilience: the ability to bounce back after failing. And since you keep trying new activities, you're definitely reslient.

I have the same problem, you need to do 2 things,1) keep looking till you find one thing that you are good at, 2)you do have a talent, its the ability to rebound after someone else bests u in something and try something new.
just keep looking, i was an average hockey player for 10 years picked up a lacrosse stick and im a star

No. The world is full of un-talented losers. So you will not stand out in a crowd.

Duh,....have you read some of the other questions posted by people your age, younger and older. Your post has like two grammatical errors and it makes a statement and asks a question. You definately have a writing talent!
P.S. Your not a loser!!!!!

I felt the same, just keep on searching, see there is always gonna be someone that is better than you at something, ALWAYS. Just do your best and that's enough I promise you. Try different sports, different clubs, you will be talented as something just don't give up if someone is better than you because if you keep practicing eventually you will be good! =)

Whoa, you are only 15, sometimes these things just take time. So people think you are confident, that is a good quality right there, don't sweat it, it will happen sooner or later
