A lot of my friends can dance really well (c-walk, breakdance, etc.) and sing well as well, but I'm not really good at any of those. Sometimes I just feel inferior to them and a misfit. Is anyone else like me?
Do you think it's normal?

Well, I'm completely tone deaf and have no rhythm whatsoever so yes, I am like you. Don't worry about it, just work on what you are good at, whatever it is. Everyone has a talent, even if it isn't something immediately obvious.
Yes, there are a lot of people like you! All my friends are good at dancing and singing and I am not really. I sometimes feel inferior to them. but it is important to remember that everyone has their own talent that their good at and that your true friends will love you even if your not good st the same stuff as them. They love you for who you are. So just be yourself and I promise, everything will be just fine for you.take care and best wishes!
yea for sure, i have felt the same way, all my friends have that one thing there good at an i really dont have anything to go on .... all i can say is if your friends rub that you have no talent in your face there really not true friends and you should find new ones that will make you fell good about yourself
Dude relax i have talent in playing Fifa 09 on xbox 360 and play football in general!
Well, if you really do mind that much, then take on the challenge and learn a talent too! It might not have to be what your friends learn, but go take on something that you are interested and confident of doing well on. :)

But honestly, there is no reason why you should feel inferior just because you don't have those talents. They can always be learned.
Hey, I'm the same way! Only I have a pretty good ear for music on the piano...I can't sing squat, however, and I have two left feet when it comes to dancing. You are not alone.
Im a drummer and a singer, but i absolutely cannot dance..so chill :)
hey
if you are not musically inclined, that's ok
must people on the planet cannot sing or dance
THINK ABOUT THAT

you are much better at other things
tell me
what are you awesome at
writing stuff? drawing? leading? following?
just never try to compare yourself to others
you are you
and you are damn unique!!!!

:)
Hey buddy don't take it so hard, the fact that you can't sing or dance just means your not gay. I know it sucks but believe it or not, not only was it okay to be unable to sing and dance but it was actually considered a good thing. Because people who sang and danced got the shit kicked out of them. This was way before American idol and shows like so you think you can dance. My how things have changed. Thanks to generation y I wouldn't be a bit surprised if one day we turn on the tv and seea man blowing another man lol
Do you think you are feeling sorry for yourself instead of getting off your ass and doing something about it, like learning to dance? Just asking.
I grew up with parents telling me that everything artistic that I did was awesome, so pretty soon I had artistic talent. Did your parents perhaps never encourage you? Then I got into music and pretty soon I could play the guitar pretty well, but not like the virtuosos at my high school who all went to New York and became famous. Then I wanted to write songs but I couldn't sing, but I wanted to do it so much that I made it my 'style' NOT TO BE ABLE to sing. Ten years later I actually KNOW how to sing just from doing it so much. Just find something you love and start doing it. Even if you suck, just keep doing it and celebrate any progress you make. I think "talent" is a relative term. PRACTICE. Do you think Michael Jackson just hopped on stage and started break dancing out of nowhere? No - he practiced and practiced for hours and hours and hours, over and over again...probably obsessively. But if you love something that much, you won't mind. Find something you love and you'll be able to practice it...
