Even if they're reliable and correct, you shouldn't jump from "I will never be able to do this one thing well" to "I will never be able to do anything well".

Besides, being good at something isn't the aim of a hobby. It's to enjoy yourself.

Yes, this. Seconded so hard.

Does not compute. Most people find more enjoyment in doing something successfully, than failing at a thing.

You're going to extremes for no reason. Not being good at something isn't failing it. There's a huge spectrum in between.

I'm not good at playing the guitar and honestly speaking I will probably never be great at it, but if I wanted to learn how to do it and get better than I was and I enjoy it, that's my hobby. If I cap out at being decent at it, and it takes me a year to get halfway decent, fine.

That doesn't mean I fail and it's not my hobby because I'm not "good".

Yeah, and they tend to drop those fairly quickly. I dislike designing posters and am bad at it, so I have never had any inclination to scrapbook. There are a few things I'm good at but dislike doing (like cooking. I prefer baking) and there are things I am utterly terrible at but love anyway (singing, I'm looking at you. And photography). As long as I'm having fun, why does it matter? I'm not going to ditch taking a couple hundred sunset photos of which mayba dozen will be any good for experimenting with a stirfry which will probably be both edible and somewhat tasty. I am similarly not going to take up scrapbooking, because I don't enjoy it. There are all sorts of levels, here.

Exactly. There are a lot of different jobs/hobbies/activities in the world and they don't all require the same skill sets. There are a lot of thing I'm terrible at but there are definitely things I'm good at.

Thissssssss. If you enjoy that hobby, you should keep doing it. Even if you aren't the best at it that shouldn't matter, what matters is you're getting pleasure from doing it.

You don't need to excel at a hobby...that isn't the point. I mean, sure, it's nice when you do, but that's not the most important thing.

Plus, their definition of failure and your definition (plus everyone else's definition) might not be the same. One person thinking you suck doesn't mean you suck. If you do or not, it isn't their business and it shouldn't stop you from enjoying yourself.

I also agree with you shouldn't jump from "I will never be able to do this one thing well" to "I will never be able to do anything well". Most everyone is good at something.
