Is it normal to be really jealous of impressionists?

For a long time I've been told that I should go into acting. I'm pretty good at facial expressions for a start, but I've really taken a liking to impersonating characters and talking in different accents. I've been told that a few impressions I do are okay (British accent, Jamaican and such. I really want to do more advanced accents like the Scottish ones), but I really don't think they're very good at all. These days I've been trying to impersonate The Joker and Joe Pesci (FANTASTIC actor), but it's just horrible since I'm not even close. When I see videos of regular people like me doing perfect impressions along with the perfect acting, I get so jealous and frustrated. Is this normal?

    I do a killer British accent. You wouldn't know I'm from Britain but you'd know I speak weird so it's pretty much the same thing.

    Wow, Faceless just straight up said you won't accomplish anything in life. How do you feel about that?

    Yo know what, I've been trying to become a voice actor for about 5 months. From some research I've done, real voice actors often do many accents and impersonations of other voice actors. Just like learning a British accent, or jamaican one, it will take time. As for the jealousy part, well it's common to be envious of someone who possesses more skill than you.

    Dont worry I get mad cause I cant do worthless shit either. Like today for instance, I tried to move a simple penny with my mind. I couldnt do it. But one day youll be good at impersonating joe pesci and one day i'll be a Jedi. Till then we have to keep trying.
