As the title says, do you have any talents? Well, for me I don't have any, I don't know if I have one, at least. I've never really tried to do something to find out what my talent is. Well, I just hope I do have one and hopefully I'll be able to find out what it is soon.

well, yeah I hope I do have one, while it may not be bad being average, I want to excel on at least one thing.

violin, huh? I've never played any musical instrument before, well I don't have any interest in them.

ah, I see. Well, I guess being good at playing games is also a talent, I'd say I'm quite decent at playing games, but only on certain genres, like RPG or battle royale.
But, isn't being a binge reader and anime watcher more of an interest rather than a talent? and being analytical is more of a personality

Same.

When I was a kid I got pretty good at drawing, but for some reason I stopped practicing and I suck now. Either way, I was only good in comparison to people that couldn't draw.

People say I'm good at writing. I partially agree, but again, nothing special, just above average I guess.

well, that's one way to think about it, but as much you don't believe in talents, there's just some prodigies that excel at a/some thing(s) for example, chess prodigies. they're just natural-born to be good at chess, and almost certainly they would be better than people with no talent. though, talents aren't everything.

ah, singing and learning abilities, I see. That's quite a handy talent I'd say.

I once tried to sing once, God it was so horrible, from then on I decided to never sing again, and my learning abilities are just average.

I would say I'm not good enough at anything to be considered 'talented', but I have worked hard at being able to properly boil an egg so there's that.

I like to create stories, but I don't know if those stories are good to be considered talent. and it is also a wasted talent because I do not write these stories on paper it is only in my mind.

As Bob Ross once said, "Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do."

With that said, like Sailor Jupiter, I have a lot of talent! Drawing, cooking, language learning, public speaking, dancing, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, writing, maths...

Will add more as the years go by~

Skill is hard work

I believe in talents, but I also believe that most things that people call talents are actually just hard work that are called talents by the envious people as an excuse not to recognize that they are not as skilled as the "talented people", not because they who aren't as much skilled don't have as much talent, but because of their lack of hardwork.
On the other hand, it may also be argued there are people who claim that talents do not exist because they do not want to recognize that there are people who are able to reach a higher level of skill than theirs in some activity without working so hard, so they just keep lying to themselves to believe that there's no such thing as talent and that they aren't naturally inferior in some aspect.
Perhaps I'm just being naive considering the second argument as valid, and in any case the first one is generally more positive since it leads people to work harder instead of blaming their circumstances as bad losers, but I still don't think it's right to reject the second argument entirely, since there are some natural differences between people that are really hard to deny in terms of how much it makes it easier or harder for people to become better in some activities, like the difference of natural beauty and of size. One may argue that people who are born without legs don't really count in the matter about whether it's the talent or the hard work that turns a person into a winner in an activity that involves running, since they are not normal human beings, but what about the difference in size of normal people who want to play volleyball? There's certainly a limit to how much by being taller the person is more likely to be a better volleyball player, but generally speaking tall people are more likely to become good volleyball players than small ones, without even counting the dwarves.
