Compare yourself to other people:
we judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their past..answers will be flawed

I am not as good as other people.
If you compare me with the majority of people, my skills at achieving anything is mediocre. I mean, All I'm "okay" at is playing games and spamming posting on the Steamgifts forum. Skills? well, I know my way around computers better than the majority of people I guess?

1 - My skills/abilities are much worse comparing to others. Some of it is bad genetics + poor skills, but I had potential in some things, but like always, I messed that up.

It really depends on what we are talking about. And it's hard to answer in general. There is way too many areas of skills are knowledge I don't even imagine! Yeah I overthink too easily :P
I chose 2 anyway. I suck at most thinks, but I like to think I'm than someone. As you notice I also have a great self-esteem.
EDIT: Maybe I should have chosen 3. I suck but people these days are way too dumb. Oh boy I'm overthinking again!

My reaction to your inner dialog I hope more edits are coming :D

This is what happens when you spend too much time alone, you start talking to yourself. I should get a girlfriend or something... Maybe it would help my self-esteem and I would be happier.
EDIT: Oh great, I did again!

more like: vote 1 or 2 - you are pesimist, vote 3 - you are realist, vote 4 or 5 - you are optimist :)

"I am somewhat better than others." And this makes me sad. Because I'm generally a clueless dunderhead, but the things I have to regularly point out for co-workers regularly reminds me that I'm somewhere toward the right of the bell curve.

While I don't agree with the wording of option 3 for myself that's the one I chose. I'm better at some things and worse at others so I'm taking the middle option to indicate an overall average ability.

Question is stupid, poll answers don't make sense... Pardon my French, but this...

You have become a source of sucking. Put your powers to good use.

Creating suck, not unlike a vacuum cleaner. Have you thought about making those?
Updated my original answer because it might not have been clear enough. The poll & question are fine. There just wasn't a good answer for me.

I'm better than most people, but I'm stuck with something unavoidable that makes me worst than most people.

I'm a sad aspie girl so I suck at everything apart from feeling different.
I know that's being hard on myself but I voted 1 because I'm not confident enough to think of anything I can do well.

Don't be hard on yourself. Sometimes our struggles are not as bad as we think they are.

Well, the last time I took an IQ test i scored 148 (about 12 years ago). And the past few times I too an EQ test I scored consistently 130+. Plus, I have my bachelors degree and I have done some post grad work... So, I think I can confidently say that 'I am above average'.

You sure can, but when majority says that they are better than others numbers don't add up.

My point is - there is nothing wrong with being average in general. If everyone is special, no one is.

So I voted "2 - I am not as good as other people" and the results of this poll is that the majority of people voted that they were better than others...
The fact is, I'm not as delusional and over-confident about myself as the majority of people.
Therefore, I can say in all certitude that I, compared to the majority of people, am better regarding this matter.
Just kidding, I suck at everything and I'm good for nothing, and glad to be! >:D

I consider myself slightly worse than others due to my age not my esteem, I find it really noticeable in more "skill" based games over slow strategic ones compared to my game playing style 10/20 years ago

Guess I'm one of those unlucky enough to be blessed with self-doubt ._.

Well as you said we are all somewhat better than others at something, for example i know some people who are really good at getting on my nerves. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
We all eat, breathe, sleep and need to go to the can so that can't make one special...
This is how it could and maybe should be but of course reality isn't that simple nor easy...
Being special? What a concept...

Thanks to everyone who participated!
Many studies have shown that an average person believes that (s)he is better than average which is statistically impossible
I guess it is fair to say that our poll confirmed this. After 400+ votes "I am somewhat better than others" answer is the most popular. Screenshot in case if you guys decide to change your votes :D
Overall majority (51%) believes that they are better than others.
29% believe that they are not as good as other people and it is likely to be attributed to low self-esteem.
Bottom line: Please love yourself but stay humble and respect people around you. All of us are good at some things (it doesn't matter if it is gaming, pokemoning, cooking or else) and horrible at others. It doesn't make you better or worse. Be an individual. Excel in what you do best. You are all
marvelous (ga ended)as far I'm concerned. <3P.S. I'm not sure why I made this post. I'm weird.
