Like if you compare yourself to any random person on the street, they are 9 times out of 10, smarter than you and overall "better". I hate doing it but just about everyone that I meet is better or smarter than me. I only ever 1 up them in things that have no meaning in life like the Human body can live about 15 secs with out a heart or having more points on Yahoo Answers. Ever feel useless?

Really, everyone I think thinks that, unless they are completed conceted, and even then, they are so because they have to feel like they are better, and eventually convince themselves that they are. Have you ever heard the phrase, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know? It is very true in my life. Just when I think I have everything figured out is when I realize I have nothing figured out. Just when I am excited about learning something new, I learn that there is so much more to learn. Besides, why do you think that what you know is useless? I think that it is interesting, and it is what makes you you, going back to my point that everyone feels the way you feel. I would rather know how irrelevant I am, than to be walking around not knowing, and not having the opportunity to learn and improve myself.

why not meet the challenge of our viewpoint and read more, learn more for that is all anyone else did. If you are noticing this, then you are wanting to improve... and that is so easy! Go for it! With all the video teaching, audio books, you too can meet your world head on!
I do not ever feel useless.... I do enjoy the huge diversity of our worlds people, though! I will never know it all, so gather friends who know it for you! I had a girlfriend who was Ms. Trivia and she was fun to partner with in games! she knew it and I would bluff....

U r bound to feel this way until u learn to be creative. Learn some art, playing synthesiser so that u can play latest song and enjoy and impart joy to others. Learn music, vocal (light) so that u sing ur depression away. Learn swimming, skating so that u feel empowered. One should ve the capacity to solve a problem and for that u ve to develop ur mind and learn various therapies such as Reiki, Art of living, Sidha yog, Pranayaam so that ur mind is stable and u remain incharge of life and not the other way round. I personally feel quite empowered thru Reiki healing as I am able to help my acquaintances and relatives in ill-health or depression. I ve done it for many people and feel happy when it works right and my prayer is granted. People contact me for their toughest illness when they do not get any hope signal from doctor and with divine Reiki they ve come back to life. So it gives me joy. But that is not the end, I am always on the look out for learning more things if my resources permit me and it is always exciting to learn more. Stagnation is degeneration of life so move on please.

Everyone feels useless from time to time. I like to look at it as more of feeling insignificant rather than useless.
Anyways, when you feel useless just think:
"to the world you may only be one person, but to one person you may be the world"
I forgot who said it, but I think there is something to it. Hopefully you mean the world to someone in your life, I am sure you do :)

Yes- but so what. I am just an infinitesimal spark of the splendor of the Supreme God also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc. So why get down about it. That is just the fact we are nothing in comparison to Him and really why not take the humble position because there is always someone much greater in every respect. But to be upset or depressed about it is just the false ego wanting to be Great. But we are not so lets just sit down and pop the air out of our inflated ego.

Sometimes. My job doesn't involve creating anything... As a project engineer, I do more management and coordination work. I feel worthless when I look back at my day and see that I "made" a dozen e-mails and a few phone calls. I envy craftsmen.

Well I think everyone feels useless sometimes. Just do your best and that's all that matters. If you are the best you that you can be, noone can beat that!!!

Completely, I hate sitting in the classroom and learning nothing, only having someone ask me a question later that I could have answered.

Really? The human body can live 15 seconds without a heart?
