I'm fucking doomed, I don't know what's wrong with me but I am a pathological failure. I can't succeed, I'm weak.

What am I possibly supposed to do?

write a manifesto and go shoot up people
or just take a car and run over people it's more hip these days

and choose a good target like a femen rally or a street prayer

Bear with me - I am going to make a point.

Personally I, the anon typing this, am one of the least athletic persons alive. I am lousy at every team or solo sport, and have never successfully tossed or caught a frisbee.

I could consider myself a failure in life (as I did through much of my childhood) because of this inability. But then I realized that I am pretty good at schoolwork, and quite good in certain subjects, and eventually found a good job that makes use of my talents.

So now, rather than identifying myself to myself as the guy with no athletic ability, I see myself (and in fact am) the guy who leads a happy life as a result of being good in this other area, and who doesn't care that he can't catch a frisbee.

And here's the point. You've discovered two things you're not good at - academics and that one trade. O K. Cross them off the list and look for a third thing (and if necessary a fourth or fifth) until you find what you are good at.

And then forget all the others and define yourself to yourself as the guy who's good at this, and doesn't think about the others

not everyone is intelligent enough to be anything other than a low skill wage slave. Maybe your life experiences have shown you that is your lot in life. Walmart is always looking for fresh meat, apply there and resign yourself to the inevitable.

Not everyone is meant to go to school. Trash men make lots of money, and so do septic/waste workers. Vendors pay decently despite the backbreaking work. Grocery store team leads make around 45k/yr... Pick your poison OP. Not everyone is destined for greatness, and that's okay. You can be self-sufficient without going to school.

Get a meh leadership position and use the money to put yourself through a trade that interests you and be set for life (or until your job gets automated or shipped to China)

>>18692193
Whats wrong? You quit too much. What else you dont know/do what youre good at.
>>
>>18692901
You know I never got how anyone is supposed to take "maybe you're not meant for greatness" as anything but an insult.
