Hi guys, let's get straight to the point. Recently I have been noticing, with growing certainty, that my skills do not get better no matter how hard or long I practice. Naturally, this applies to a lot of games I play, and I will give a few examples. I have been playing valorant on and off since something like act 2 of episode one, and I am extremely skilled at it due to my colossal play time, that is what I should be saying if I wasn't hard stuck iron. I have at least 200 hours on it and played it constantly but I never felt i was improving, my friends who started after me have slowly but steadily passed me in skill and I feel hopeless. but it doesnt end here, I play a lot of Trackmania and I have watched my friends who have played for much less than me get better than me and it's not fair and it hits my motivation like a truck. same with competitive tetris. I have played over a hundred hours and grinded for what seems like forever to finally get to A rank, which is considered average. But the real kicker is the sailing, i have been sailing for 5 years and I still place second to last in every race with people who have sailed even 2 classes . please help you have no idea the feeling of everything you've ever done being a waste of time because you can never get good at anything ever. sorry for the bad writing, its one more thing i cant do.
