Is it normal to feel untalented?
Even though I consider myself a professional keyboardist and composer, I feel untalented. Mainly because I find keyboard playing very easy, to the point where it feels like it doesn't take much talent to play it. I mean, it's just pushing and holding down keys in different orders, isn't it? Once you get the hang of it, it's really simple and can be done at any time, so it feels like it takes no actual effort, and it makes me feel inadequate.
In my opinion, the people who are truly talented are designers: computer programmers, video game designers, professional artists, animators (especially CGI animators), ice sculptors, stone carvers, clothing/costume designers, architects, etc. Designing things takes an absolutely enormous level of skill and effort to get the details perfect. These are the things which are actually extremely hard to do for the average person and can take half a lifetime to get good at. I couldn't animate a cartoon, program a computer or carve a statue out of stone to save my life, and many millions more can't do these things either.
As a result, when I compare my keyboard playing and songwriting to people who actually design, I feel remarkably untalented. I love what I do and I'm certainly not going to stop, but I no longer consider it a skill despite having perfected it, because any person can perfect an instrument in a few years, but to me, only gifted people have the brainpower and talent to design professionally. Is it normal to feel untalented, and does anyone else feel the same way as I do about their "talent?".
