I hate gifted people with incredible talents

I makes me feel like a talentless loser...
Sure I know they were born without their talent and they just practiced for countless hours to become as good as they are. But still, I'm jealous. Jealous of the fact that they had sufficient passion and motivation to practice and practice.
I guess its work ethic. I you don't have it, you're fucked, right?
At least talented people can be entertaining.
My fellow talentless people, come rant with me!

Talent is given, skill is learnt.
The great thing about all this is that work ethic and skill can be achieved, it's never out of reach if your willing to do anything to attain it. Pick something you really want, and go out and get it.

Did you know that talent is developed?
even a good singing voice is developed
takes many years often, but some do it quicker we can all reach the same endpoint though it seems

Almost anyone you know that is good at something, did not have a natural talent towards it, usually people have to practice there whole life at it, that is how you become talented at something
If you wanted to be talented at something check this out, maybe this can help you.
You can be talented at anything, but it's all on you.

That is absolutely not true. Skill/talent is a combination of hard work and natural ability. Not everyone is capable of playing basketball like LeBron James and likewise not everyone is capable of composing music like Mozart. I agree that everyone can improve their abilities at anything with hard work and practice but there's no way that everyone is capable of reaching an equal point with all skills.

My problem is I am too goddamn talented. I excel at everything I try, but I enjoy a challenge and thus find nothing satisfying, so I end up getting bored and quitting before I actually master any specific skill. I am a renaissance man, skilled at everything, master of nothing.

You keep telling yourself that. The hard part of getting really good at anything is mastering it. The perseverance and dedication required is ridiculous. Anyone can get good pretty good at something, it's taking it the whole way that's incredibly difficult.

I don't need to tell myself anything. I am already wealthy, self employed and doing just fine thanks to my propensity for learning and doing things right. It's not my problem that you aren't as talented as I am, but trust me when I say being over-talented can be a burden... it makes choosing a long term path in life difficult. If you excel at just one thing that you enjoy doing, then your way forward is pretty obvious.

More natural ability imo. I wanted to get into skateboarding but i waited until I was 18. No matter how hard I tried, how much effort, blood and sweat i put into it, I just couldn't get very good. I've been skateboarding for like 4 years and can barely land a kickflip.
Then I watch a little 7 year old almost get them on lock his first week of trying them. AWESOME! Life isn't fair

^ keep trying though. Skateboarding is one of those really intense skills where the way to get better is not always so obvious, but you will probably break through eventually. Don't be disheartened by the young prodigies, instead learn from them. I can't skate a lick but that's just my impression of it.

Alternately, you could do like my stepson did - try to go down a ramp that's too big for your skillset while trying to show off for a girl, fly off your board backwards, crack your head on the concrete cuz you are too retarded to wear a helmet and end up spending a few days in a coma... or worse.

Gifted and talented he says 
It's all skill-based, you get out as much as you put in. If you happen to find a nice teacher, group or context to learn in, something that matches your current skill and interest level, you'll develop. If you get born in Mongolia, you'll be a pretty fine horseback rider. If not, you're a bit fucked.
I have some youtube vids with drawing tutorials, where I just posted the crash course that our drawing teacher put us through. I explained everything from the very start, like literally for morons. The same way our teacher explained it to us 
Once my non-artsy programmer friend saw it, and REALLY saw that drawing is as A-B-C as coding or as driving a car, he got his gf's easel and charcoal sticks and paper, and started drawing daily, like a madman. I was starting to get worried, because in 2-3 weeks he got to about the level that we were at in 3 weeks or more, and I figured if he can keep this up (he has way more discipline than I do) he'll overtake my ass in 2 years and then where would I be? 
Absolutely it's all skill-based, you just have to find a way to practice properly, and that's not that easy to do.
Also, there's this bitch right here:
 A proper teacher and class context, a group, will easily help you get over the plateau, because you're expected to show up and put in the hours on all days, not just the awesome ones. By yourself it's easy to get discourage at either the plateau or the apparent loss of skill after each new rise. I can relate to the OP, I see more awesome painters than myself all the time, makes me want to have a chip in my brain that would bypass all the practice, teach me pro painting in a second, but yeah, there is no chip, no talent, no magic formula. You put in the time and get some ability, or you sit on the couch flip channels and smoke dope and have nothing to show for it.
-------------------- Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. - Matthew 13:16
