I have no natural talents (drawing, sports, etc) and so I find it very hard to relax. Is there any way I can try find m talents? The only thing I think I can do is talking and public speaking, but not sure how that can be made a hobby… advice?
Since you like talking, do you think you’d like to be a mentor to someone? It’s not the same as public speaking, but it’ll get you involved with other people.
@Anonymous But what could I mentor? Like I said I don’t feel I’m good at anything to even do it myself..
@floatingspirit If you’re high school age or older, I was thinking about something like the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I don’t have any experience with them myself, but I was thinking of something where you can give general life advice (like how to get through school, maybe homework help, etc.). That way you don’t need a ton of knowledge about a specific skill, you’re just speaking from your experience.
You could also try different hobbies to figure out what you enjoy. Jigsaw puzzles are not too much money and help me relax. Some people knit, or make models.
For me personally I have come to realize that you do not need to be good at your hobbies/interests. It only matters how much you enjoy that activity and brings you want you need. Talent is subjective.
@zcatmom Great advice.
