i used to think i was awful at everything until i discovered an odd talent, im really good at stealth video games, im utter trash at basically everything else but not stealth games.......i mean really universe, out of all the useful things to be good at you pick stealth games? poor choice haha. so maybe yours is something like that within your area of interest, like im obsessed with video games, its all i talk about and do, but the only type of game im actually any good at is like 1 in 20. so maybe theres something there you haven't tried or you have tried it but not realised that your good at it yet, as i only noticed i was at stealth games when i noticed most other people when i watched them play were really poor at it compared to me.

maybe i'll try it , thank you for your comment ; i never thought about video games .cause everyone here is fond of them and i tried to escape the things people in general were interested in

I know how you feel. I was very passive too as a child. I am frequently passive still to this day. My favorite thing to do is just walk somewhere alone, exploring and stimming. I do have an interest in Braille right now, but it is restricted to translating what I see or hear into Braille in my mind.

I was so stressed when I had to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery in high school (a career exploration tool using aptitude tests and interest self-assessments) that I started crying in class. "What do I like doing? I don't know!" :cry:

thank you very much for your comment .just knowing that i'm not alone in that feeling is very comforting. how do you do the brraille thing ? i might be interested

Now that I think about it, most of my attempts at finding an interest that I can use has been prevented by the human aspect.[/quote]

Even, if your not good at anything else at all in the universe your still good at observing the universe.

First step, I learned how to read the raised Braille dots with just my fingers. Thanks to my tactile hypersensitivity, this was actually very easy.

Second step, I learned how to recognize different Braille letters, contractions, and short form words. I borrowed a book from my local library for sighted parents of blind children to learn along with their child.

Third step, I learned how to use a Braille typewriter. It only has 10 keys, so it is easier to learn than a normal typewriter.

Finally, whenever I read or hear a sentence, I simply place my hands on a surface or against my legs and pretend I am typing. I can use it as a calming and focusing stim.
