Squandered talent

This is a fun one to discuss. So, what talent do you have that you pretty much squandered? I do voice acting but I'm too lazy to actually do something with it. I'm good at drawing, but seldom do I ever do it. I've been told I'm great at it, but sadly it's a love/hate relationship. My family is notorious for wasting their talent. My younger brother played Baseball all his life and was offered to join the MLB, I forget which team approached him, but he turned it down because, according to family sources, his girlfriend didn't want him to do it. Needless to say that my father was devastated. There's a lesson in all of this. :/

I can literally sit and stare at a wall for hours. I would have made an excellent prisoner but I haven't been able to get to prison yet.... Judge just sends me to various diversion programs.... They say I have sum mental health issues... ridiculous...

All I can think of is musical talent.

I keep thinking to myself, I always thought I'd do so much better with my life. But I always wind up being really mediocre and going around in circles. At this point I'd settle for just getting a good job that works out for me.

Haha, your post hit me right in the feels! You're not alone in the "squandered talent" club. I'd say I'm a master of the "jack of all trades, master of none" approach. I can write decently, play a few instruments http://www.fusionmagazine.co.uk and even code a mean website - but I never fully commit to anything. It's like I get bored just before I reach the point of "good."

I feel your pain on the drawing side too. I used to love it as a kid, but somewhere along the line, the pressure of perfectionism took over. Now, the blank canvas just stares back at me accusingly. Maybe we should start a "Procrastinators Anonymous for Untapped Potential" group?
