Most people are mediocre and they're fine with it. What reason do you have to beat yourself over it? Are you making the mistake of comparing yourself to people who doesn't really exist? Many people make the mistake of taking the best properties of several above average people, mixing it into this impossible amalgamation of a persona and then comparing themselves to that ideal. It makes it seem like everyone around you is so much better but the reality is that each of these people just do what they can and they all have things they're absolutely terrible at. And it's often stuff you take for granted; I thought that cooking was something anyone can do because it just seems so simple but then I've watched the smartest guy I know struggling with very basics of it.
