Hello im a highschooler who struggles with everything and i have autism along witha few other things. i dont hav ea job and im afraid to drive ,not only tha tmos tof my tech is low end so im very limited.

Ive been wanting to create somethign but im not sure what also my intersts changes each day and i tend to pick things that are to hard for me, also im afraid of pointy things like knifes, saws, etc becasue im a clutz. righ now im thinking of trying music or covers but i hav eno musical talent also i dont se ethe point, and idk how that even works.

Talent is mostly a myth. You have to push though the part where you suck to get good at anything. Pick a thing and stick with it. Even 10-20min a day of practice and you'll see results. With music the hard part is getting to the point where you can just 'play' but you're young and you have more time now than you ever will again. Pick a thing and suck at it. Keep doing it anyway until you suck less. One day you'll find even though you still think you suck someone else compares themselves to you and is jealous of your 'talent'
