Do you feel like other people have better skills then you? When I say skills, I mean skills that are useful to them that can help them earn a living? I feel like I have a lot of skills and know a lot about them but they aren't something that could really help me make money. Do you feel the same way?

Yes. I s#cked with school due to dyslexia & never had any desire to go to college as a result & I also have physical disabilities on top of that & Aspergers. I don't feel I have many skills in general not just with making money.

I have skills that involve creativity like my cartoons and crafts that other people have shown me envy of, but they haven't gotten me a real job. Not that there's many around here, that's why nearly everyone I knew as a kid left after high school. I was nervous about moving out on my own because I knew nothing about paying bills or dealing with landlords or neighbors, and my parents couldn't give me advice since they've never lived alone - they married while still young and living with their parents and then just moved into their own home, which a lot of people still did back in the 70's, only it was more like the 30's out in the country. I almost feel like I came from a long line of bumpkins.

I have a skillset that nobody else deems worth a good god-damn. and so it goes. nobody is interested in my digital audio restoration services. oh well. I did my best.

Really just one skill is needed, selfpromotion,
every other skill is worth-less (no profit to be made) without that
(a lot of succes is built on just that one skill)

self promotion- no wonder somebody as mediocre of talent as M*donna is so high and mighty. she does have that one talent, that of self-promotion.
