You can’t say that, that’s rude, and dismissive. So you don’t say it. But it’s awkward,,, to be around people whose problems would be solved if they simply committed to solving their problems You have to conclude they don’t really want to solve their problems, not like you did

It’s lonely to be around people you can’t entirely be honest with. So now you have to start looking for new friends. Thankfully, you are Good at Stuff, and being Good at Stuff is a great shortcut for meeting others who are Also Good At Stuff. You have a shared unspoken bond

Sucking at things has never bothered me. I just keep trying things till I find something I’m survivably mediocre at without striving very hard to improve 😎 Picking the right poker table is so much easier than playing well enough to survive a random one you just happen to be at
