Don't resign yourself to saying you can't do something if you want to do it.
Please take the above words to heart darklordoftech. I’ve struggled a ton in the past year trying to learn my job since it’s involved subjects I’ve had very little experience with: electrical systems, working well with my hands and with tools, and complex aircraft flight controls. There are 5 new guys total in my shop (including myself) and 3 of them outshine me in almost every way. I’m still a lot better now than I was a year ago. Don’t let comparisons to others cloud your own self-improvement.
Where there’s a will there’s a way. I know it certainly doesn’t feel like that all the time. But keep a good attitude and persevere. Are there any subjects that particularly interest you? What do you enjoy doing in your down time? I don’t recommend boxing yourself into a corner where the only option is to pursue your true passion (since 1. Not all passions afford a living & 2. You can become passionate about a job or subject as you learn more and more about it than you otherwise would’ve ever thought possible in the beginning stages). But starting with your passions is easiest to focus on when it comes to self-improvement and developing the social, educational, and sometimes even professional skills to do well in the “real world” (whatever that implies).
You already have a job which is a solid start. I’m confident that you can learn to drive a car. Try to find a family friend to teach you. That’s a huge step to start with. You seem intelligent and competent based on your writing ability and your posting history. I have faith in you.
