Since childhood I was never good at anything. Horrible at sports, mediocre at school, outsider with no friends. I was the kid that couldn't throw the ball for 10 meters and got bullied for it. And to this day nothing changed. Kissless virgin with no experience whatsoever. Failing uni student that wasted years of his life.
Even at video games I'm shit. I spend most of my time playing games, and yet I'm fucking awful. I never improve no matter what, while others that just started are better than me.

I just can't stand this any longer. I have no talents. Nothing I'm good at. Not a single fucking redeeming quality. I'm just a complete worthless loser.

what a naive attitude

what does it matter if you are average? what about doing things that you like and derive joy or satisfaction from? no one is good at walking, but it is pleasant to walk, or to be in nature. or activities that are useful: people need to cook for sustenance, and it provides satisfaction when you are able to support yourself.

anyway, no one is good at anything inherently. often it takes many years to develop skills and even then you need a competent mentor or schooling.

>i spend most of my time playing games
no wonder you're unsatisfied and unhappy

Start with all the essentials. like exercise (even just walking and body weight exercises are fine), cooking, cleaning, etc. Put the games aside for a while and try other things. You don't need to be the best to live a good life, just good enough. Everything takes time, so remember that it's ok to suck at something for a while because that's how you eventually get good. But you need to practice PROPERLY and actually push yourself outside of your comfort zone.

Same but I'm 34 so it feels even more hopeless with how old I am. I have extremely bad learned helplessness and no self-esteem on top of being a retarded loser

Bruh, why are you so broken.

I bet you're like 20. You sound whiny not doomed like a 30 yo.

First, almost nobody is nothing. If anyone is something, it's because they're the effort of multiple people doing their best so he doesn't fuck up. There are things people who need shit will never realize, for example to poors it's unfathomable to think people pay money to earn more later.

The only thing that's important is that you have fun. If you have fun, other broken shits will come to you to forget about their shit. If you don't have fun nobody wants more shit on their plate. If you keep trying to be better than anyone, nobody will help you.

If you choose one thing, Just one fucking thing, and you keep at it, you will be something in that thing and known for it.

Other stuff needs you to pay an emotional cost in shame or pain. Talking to a girl is one of those. You can't waive it. There are ways to make it easier, but simply nobody will help you, you have to figure out a lot on your own because of that simple fact, nobody will help you with it.

If you said something more concrete I would give more concrete advice, but you haven't.

For you, pick one niche, odd talent, such as playing flute or learning an uncommon language, and do it well. You will be valuable by having a rare skill.

The most successful men in America - Bezos, Musk, Page, Zuckerberg, etc - were ALL pencil-neck geeks and high school losers

There's always hope.

Identify things you want to get good at. Critically evaluate your current position. Look up guides. Nothing reasonable is unreasonable/impossible. No you won't become Usain Bolt. Yes, you can probably be a decent amateur running even if you started as a fat fuck.

>I just can't stand this any longer. I have no talents. Nothing I'm good at. Not a single fucking redeeming quality. I'm just a complete worthless loser.
And that's okay. That just means you have to put hard work into it.

Success = (Hard Work) x (Talent)

No you won't be as successful as someone who's naturally talented and puts in the same amount of hard work.

You can however be as good or better than retards who put no hard work into it even if they have talent, much less the ones that don't have talent or put in hard work.

I'm learning how AI works with the aim of working towards a role I'm currently unqualified for. Am I going to succeed immediately? No. I'm going to fucking try and work towards it though.
