I need skills


Question Posted Saturday April 25 2009, 5:15 pm

all my friends have awesome skills
they can two step and skate board and are really good with their feet
theyre loud and proud and they act like theyre badass and they usually have badass stuff to talk about
they like all the music i like and i like all theirs
but if i mention i like a video theyre like what the 'f' that video sucked.. even though they like the song..
my skills go unnoticed.. i used to live in a country where my skills were..
i could draw and sing
and dance better than all of them
i dance like a jamaican i lived in jamaica for a while
but since i moved to america (im originally from america)
i realized that so many of my friends can do everything better than me.
i cant skate. i rollerblade.
but its not that cool to just strap on your blades n go..
but u can just straight up hop on your skateboard.
also i am really good at editing photos and making graphics n such which none of my friends are too good at. and because my myspace is not high tech html edited theyre like oh bla i could fix your myspace.. im like oh no im good at that just, i dont have time, and i edit other stuff instead.. which is true.
what are some cool skills i can obtain that will make me feel happy about myself, and proud and feel badass.
i dont want to skateboard by the way. im about 5 foot and 115 pounds. big boobs. and by the way i described my friends you can tell what kinda things im into.

you know what, you don't need awesome skills just to fit in with your friends in another country. Be proud of what you have. Show them your talents, and see if they appreciate it as much as you do, and if they really were your true friends, they would understand you that you don't really have that much skills, but you also have good heart for a friend, and be proud of what you have, because your talent is a special gift that no one can ever take away from you. Your talent is also very useful to others, and be proud that YOU can do something THEY CAN'T.

My advice to you would be to own your talents. If you're good at drawing and singing, draw and sing. People will be impressed that you're doing something different. You're good at editing photos, drawing, and singing. Not everyone is good at those things.
If your 'friends' are making you feel like you're not adequate, get new friends. Just because your MySpace isn't 'high tech html edited', doesn't mean they should knock you down for it.
Even if your friends dance better than you and skateboard better than you, so what?
You even said that you don't want to skateboard.
Try to leave your options open for new friends that share similar interests with you.
Hope this helps.

Be proud of who you are. I know that's probably not the answer you want to hear, but just be you. Don't be concerned about fitting in. If you're unique, it'll get you noticed more. You can learn some pretty awesome rollerblading tricks, too, & if you're the only one in your group that can do that, that'll get you noticed. Cause there's a whole group of them that can skateboard, & you'd be the only one who can do really awesome rollerblading tricks. As for your dancing, be proud of that, too. I can't dance at all, so I think you're pretty lucky to have some rhythm. I know how you feel about wanting to have the same skills as everyone else, but take it from me (I'm out of high school so I know all about that), being yourself is going to get you noticed a lot more than if you follow the same trends as everyone else.

As for them being loud & proud, that's pretty easy. Just be confident.
