Ranking amateurs

[textualdeviance]

It's odd... I'm reasonably good at writing, singing, acting and cooking. I have a bit of skill with graphics, video and web tech. I also have a few other random talents, too--research, general problem-solving, picking up bits of different languages, etc.

Yet I still feel inadequate because I can't play an instrument, dance, draw, sew or do anything athletic.

Oh, and because I'm not pretty.

Because even if I could do all of these things like an expert, it wouldn't matter, because shallow het guys don't consider me fuckworthy.

My culture is so broken.

One might ask why the shallow het guys were themselves considered fuckworthy by you in the first place ...

See above. It's not about the guys themselves, but their being considered so important by everyone else that not conforming to their tastes is a ticket to generally rotten treatment.
