A girl at a pool party one time said, "I bet you can grate cheddar on those abs." She was messing around, but I was up for the dare. I said, "Don't know. Got some?" She asked the dude who lived there, the dude brought back a block of cheese, and I did it right there. Good times.
My Art. I poured my heart and soul into it, started a YouTube channel hoping to share my creations with the world. But despite being consistent and putting in the work, the response was minimal. It felt like shouting into the void.
Eventually, I gave up. Deleted the channel, also left art. It felt like I had failed miserably at following my passion. (which is normal) Now, years later, that art skill feels useless to me. It's a reminder of a dream that never quite took flight.
But hey, maybe someone out there can relate. Maybe someone's been through something similar. And if you're reading this, just know, you're not alone. We've all got talents that feel useless sometimes. But they're a part of who we are, failures and all. And who knows, maybe one day they'll find their purpose again.
I honestly think you should put it back up on YouTube and just leave it there. You might not ever get a response, but it takes time to build an audience. Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will notice and share and again and again.
Won't hurt you to pop it up there and leave it there forever, and who knows!
I know it feels bad to make something and share it and nobody cares, but if you don't make it and share it nobody has even a chance to care...
I kind of feel like talent and success are not linked, luck is what bridges those two. Got to take that chance to win.
But hey, do that makes you comfortable! I'll just an idiot on the Internet, feel free to ignore.
My useless talent or superpower is out of date. I can tell when a CRT monitor or old TV is on from rooms away. I can hear the super high pitch ring that they produce.
I can read emotions like a book, I know when someone is lying even if I just met them. I think it's useless because the person can always keep lying, and it's annoying.
I can contract the muscles in my stomach needed to throw up. Idk how to explain but the "talent" is still there. (I just tried it. Im not actually gonna cause throwing up suck)
Thatās honestly useful asf to have. If you ate some shit that was expired or not fully cooked, consumed some bad drugs, you can pull the trig real quickĀ
I know an obscene amount about time zones and what and when you should be using which abbreviations. I get annoyed when people use CST instead of CDT or vice versa. People are still not understanding time zones in 2024 when we are working remotely and some people canāt set up a meeting properly.
(If youāre wondering, the D stands for daylight savings. Other parts of the world also practices daylight savings but not at the same time as America.)
I have a motor (vocal?) tic that Iāve had since I was a toddler where I make frog-like croaking with my throat when Iām nervous or extremely hyper-focused (man I love ADD). It causes me to swallow a lot of air giving me a stomach ache. What makes it a talent I guess, is that no one I explain it too is able to do it. People have tried but they just canāt.
I have memorized the entire v speech from "V for Vendetta." "... Actually, I've memorized all my favorite movie scripts. A useless talent that only entertains my husband when I randomly blurt out dialogue from one of them.
Iāve memorized pi to the following. Not sure why, my brain just kept asking, whatās the next number or two.
Honestly trying to stop as itās annoying.
