should I quit writing and what should I do instead

warning: WHINE

I spent about 15 years writing and thinking of myself as a writer, but I've never gotten good at it or confident enough to show my original fic to other people. plus, I feel like my perspective is tired and not worth supporting / producing more work about (white middle-class teen angst, how original). I'm a slow writer and thinker, and even if I come up with a good story idea, it'll be 10 years before I can write it to my satisfaction and by that time someone else has already done it better. sometimes I get positive comments on my fanfic but they're few and far between. most people don't notice. should I give up? I honestly don't know what else to do with my life. my identity is wrapped up in this thing that I'm not that good at.

any career suggestions for a failed writer? I already do freelance tutoring and proofreading.
