Love yourself, The world’s a hard, strange place. Keep your chin up. Don’t hate yourself for what you were born into.

It's really odd to say, but this is the absolute most difficult thing in the world for me to do. Every single day I am confronted with example after example of my own ineptitude. They say not to compare yourself to others but then you can't ever push past your shortcomings because you won't recognize them. Unfortunately I feel as if I have a rather large excess of shortcomings and an embarrassingly miniscule number of talents.

(This is where I'd more often than not do as the comment below mentions and just delete this comment, but I appreciate your response. I wanted to respond but I'm not really looking for an answer, I don't think there is one for me.)
