Is it possible for a person to be good for Nothing?

I am suspecting that I might be that kind of person.
To be good for nothing in the literal meaning of the word would mean to say that you are a sorry person to be within your company. You'd be a liar, cheat and vagabond. You'd be hurtful, uncaring and totally insensitive to others and your loved ones wouldn't be your loved ones because you would disown them. The list goes on an on IF you were to be good for nothing.

I think you've taken what is the literal meaning of what you are actually saying. What you are saying is there are some things that you aren't good at. Welcome to the club. Try being kinder to yourself to begin with and learn as you are able to learn rather than consider yourself to be inadequate and compare yourself to [i]no-one.[/i] There is only one 'You' and you are not alone

@Justbychance Thanks I understand what you are saying. But it's kinda frustrating when you are not so good at necessary things rather than exceptional things. I know I want to behave kindly and want to help others. I don't give in to dishonesty. I don't lie with people. I always keep an open mind to listen to people. I don't bash people because they have different opinions. I love music and one thing I can say I have definitely better taste at music. I can write and I am so much interested in science and philosophy.

BUT my grades at college are falling, I am shit at being good at other activities such as sports or being extrovert. I am dealing with social anxiety and OCD. Apparently I need social skills to get a good job and good life. I mean I am almost a failure at OUTER and REAL WORLD.

So what if I am good at listening music, does it do any good? Why can't I be better at communicating with people or doing great results at college?

I know practice practice practice etc. I know patience patience patience etc. It's like I can see what kind of person I want to be but I can't do the things to be that person.

Sorry for talking so much. :(
@Disturbed12 I want to be careful in how I write this because (I assure you) I am NOT a teacher of anything. But I've had enough of life's experiences to have my eyes opened wide in many things of life.

Your Grades are falling, you're not too good in physical activities and you are more introverted than you would like to be. I can see how anxiety and OCD can play a big part in how it is that you feel and in how those problems can become a huge mountain. Everyone working within a job needs social skills; that's been a big thing that employers have demanded for many years and when education was nothing like as stressful to attain as it is these days.

Seems to me that you need to know more about yourself than you do about life. You know what you need; practice, patience, more people-skills, more of an outward approach to social situations. Think about it. You have what it takes to know what it is that you need to do, you just have to work at them. Working at issues of life doesn't work well when you work so hard at things that you get lost inside yourself and (metaphorically speaking) beating yourself up.

You're young (perhaps not what you want to hear, but it's a fact) and some things in life need time. We aren't all born geniuses and some never well be. The best thing you can hope for is to be yourself, your own person and doing them as well as you can. Stop running, stop worrying, find plenty that makes you smile and STOP putting pressure upon yourself which makes your anxiety/stress levels increase which makes you look upon your future as a self fulfilling Prophecy. It isn't, not by a long way and it will be YOU who will make it what it turns out to be.

Same. I was only good for birthing babies, but now I can’t even do that.

You aren’t.

@twistermind But I am not good at study, not good at sports. I just can't find myself being good at anything at all.

@Disturbed12 Don’t say that. You aren’t David Beckan? And what? It doesn’t mind. You can’t cope with what they teach you at school? It’s ok. It doesn’t matter. Each person is different to another. You need to be motivate for something. What’s this that moves your ground?
