I think you are not mediocre simply because you feel like you might be. Not sure if that makes sense. To explain: My mum insisted I see a psychiatrist since she was convinced I was depressed (turns out she was right), but in one of the sessions the psychiatrist asked me to "describe myself" and I told him how I felt like I crap because I was really good at coding, but not memorably good; how I loved to paint but my cat paintings would turn out more like a furry pig (not even kidding) and how I had no sense for design, but still enjoyed it. So, all of that made me feel like a loser. And I will paraphrase what he said: "The fact that you consider your skills mediocre, and assuming you want to develop them further, it already makes you the opposite of mediocre." It sounded more poetic in Croatian, but the general thought is still there. God, that is a lot of text... Sorry about that.
