i'm not actually good at anything except my job. any and all of my hobbies that i pour hours and hours of work into, in a heartbeat i can find 1000 people who are better than me in every way
That's a pretty sad way at looking at things, man.
Look at it this way, I bet I can find 1000 people in your hobbies, that would kill to be as talented as you in them.
That's just life. I love playing basketball, but I know there is a whole million people better than me. But I also know there is a whole million people that I'm probably better than

idk i just feel like i'm being honest with myself. in a way it really drives me to work harder at the things i care about because i feel like there's so much room for improvement. i still get my jollies from the things i do achieve, but i always feel like i can be improving. obviously we are all limited by our talent, so i know i have my own limits. ultimately i judge my own performance against what i feel is my true maximum level of achievement.
for example, a couple of years ago i trained for 3-4 months to run a mile. i got down to 5:56 at the end, which is incredibly fast for me. i still feel like, with better, harder & smarter training i could get down to the 5:20's, so i have room to improve the next time i make an attempt at it, but i'm not down on myself for not running a 4:30 mile, because i really don't think my body is capable of that. still reasonably happy with the 5:56, but i know i can do better.
