    I often think “I’m not good at anything”, but I mean, I’m okay at some stuff.

    I had almost no experience with Linux prior to installing Arch on my PC. I can’t explain it; I guess it’s because I’m a programmer? I kinda just have a knack for “computer stuff”.

    And music I guess? I don’t know that it’s good enough to monetise my little hobby, but I get plenty of joy out of it. I wish I could play jazz piano and/or guitar though.

    Also it seems I’m pretty good at like, words and stuff? Maybe it’s because I’m autistic, but I’m rather proficient in a variety linguistic areas.

      I don’t feel exceptional in any area myself. I had a programming class last fall that I did well in. I would like to do more. But I just haven’t had the time. Often I feel like I’m too busy with the mundane obligations of life to excel. Other times I wonder whether certain people have different drives than I do.
