Is it ok to be content with just being considered average? Or do you need to be above average at something to be happy?

my happiness doesn't come from this but in doing what I love without limitations. however, I like to pop up from the crowd to people look at me asking "what are they?" and leave them with ton unanswered questions. but, does that really makes me happy? no, it just lifts my ego

Every person has their own goal and standards. Some people need to feel they are better than others and they compare themselves with others, they can be very successful if they manage to be better than anybody else at something. Somr other people don't compare with others but just with themselves, because every person has their own journey and it's not necessary to base its course on the other people that randomly happen to exist and be making a similar journey simultaneously. I prefer the second attitude, but sometimes I am very competitive, and healthy competituon helps improving and motivating. So, one is not necessarily better than the other, every person can prefer any attitude or any mix of them

I’d rather be above average at stuff; never liked staying in one spot for long, y’know?
So as long as I’m always trying to improve at something and not stagnating, I’ll be content.

I like being great at everything, it inflates my ego.
Unfortunately for me, the one thing I’m terrible at is commitment LMAO

Personally for me, i like being average in my own way; less attention to me n i don't need a lot, just me, myself, n whatever I'm doing (even if it's just me existing really) (:

It depends on the subject. I want to be better than average when it comes to art. Any other subject I don’t really care lol.
