Hello there,

I signed up to this forum 2 days ago or so and posted a little bit. Didn't really know there was an introductory section until now so I guess I should get that part out of the way!

My name's Elías, I'm a 20 year old fellow from Iceland. I'm a student in the University here and am a notorious procrastinator. I spent most of my life being pretty bummed out by my lack of any real talent. Tried drawing once, bought myself a sketchbook, was gifted a nice supply of pencils and whatnot too, but I never really stuck on to it. Tried writing as well but I really didn't feel I had the imagination or the passion for that either.

Eventually I found something I was very passionate about, which was practicing Hypnosis. I know this field gets a lot of crap, and I'm happy to hear it, but I certainly enjoy it. This sadly isn't exactly the most practical talent so it didn't do much for me.

Since a few months ago I took up music which I think is the closest thing to a decent talent I can get, and I've found it to be very fun. I play in a band with two very close friends (both very extroverted) and I really enjoy that.

I'm not really sure the etiquette of introductions here, I might be babbling on about irrelevant things that nobody really wants to read! I hope this is a sufficient enough hello and perhaps you might enjoy the personality that I've described.

Much love and hugs and all that shit,
Elías

Welcome!
We all have talents of one kind or another. Which is not all that surprising considering the vast range of activities that favor talent, innate ability over ability acquired by practice.

Being in Iceland could have something to do with one's self-appraisal, just because of a limited range of opportunities.

For example, one could have tremendous potential/talent as a Rodeo Clown, but with the dearth of rodeos in Iceland how could one ever discover that?

Take heart, it is the world's loss, not one's own...;)

practicing hypnosis means hypnotizing others or yourself!?

Others. I haven't gotten the hang of self-hypnosis for some reason!

Thank you for your words! I'll keep my eyes out for a rodeo from now on! :p

Anyway thanks everyone for the welcome!

the first thing that popped into my head:

Does Michael Phelps have more Olympic medals than Iceland?

That's very much a possibility, sadly I don't follow much sports so I wouldn't know.

I do know that Iceland has one of the most Nobel peace prizes per capita. Know how many prizes we've gotten? One! Horray for low populations. :D
