That’s a dour outlook. I don’t cook to be the best at it, I cook to feed my friends. I don’t sing to be the best at it, I do it so I can have fun at karaoke. I don’t boulder to climb mountains, I do it because it makes me feel healthy. I don’t bike to win races, I bike because it’s the fastest way to get around my temperate city. I’m a worse cross-stitcher than my sister but I like that she teaches me. I go to music festivals because it’s the only place you can easily dance for 8 hours straight. I’ve never taken a dance lesson but regularly am asked to join in because I’m having fun!

The comparison is the problem, not the skill.
