It's programming. There'll always be twelve year olds that can do shit better because that's how that works somehow.
Don't beat yourself up about it.
Check out what makes his better and learn from it.

>play decently, fuck up some times
>go on jewtube

That's just how it is, some people are just talented, take solace in the fact that that kid is probably a robot in the making.

Like I haven't thought of doing that, I just feel like a fucking retard because that kid has vaster knowledge than me, I know it's fucked up to pick on a kid, but you know....

Don't worry about it. Whenever you meet someone who you perceive as being better than you at something, you have two choices:
Either you learn something from that someone and become better yourself, or you go cry in the corner and learn nothing.

> that kid has vaster knowledge than me
That's why you copy the good shit. Learn from him, and overtake him.
Be a man, damnit

Don't beat yourself up. These twelve year old kids grew up with their own laptops and high speed internet and unattached parents that allowed them unlimited free time to do absorb unlimited content on YouTube. We never had that. We're playing the hands we were dealing the best we can.
