TL, DR: Never had any useful skills and talents as a kid beside initial interest in historical stuff, went for completely other direction in school and further because history became useless, felt devastated from the chosen direction and fell into an existential vacuum and depression.
[spoiler]Until the age of 17 I haven’t put any thought about doing something besides schooling, in which I was all-around A-grader, and in my free time I was just reading, watching cartoons and movies, doodling whatever I want with a pencil and playing videogames, when I’ve got a laptop.
The closest thing from this that I would have called an interest was reading about history: states, wars, battles, weapons, vehicles, symbols like flags or coats of arms, buildings like castles and fortresses, all that militaristic and cultural material stuff, and I was drawing a lot of that stuff too. I even got to imagining my own countries and their history with wars, battles and so on.
I hadn’t and still don’t have any particular talents, skills, abilities beside fast reading, and I hated and still don’t like doing physical stuff: exercising, doing any kind of physical activity or playing any physical game. My parents were totally fine with this as long as I’ve studied really well, and they didn’t try to push me into any way I didn’t want, because they didn’t know any better – I was “too smart” for them.
In a 9th year of school, like any other kid in my country, I had a choice: to go to any vocational school and study there for a trade or to pass state exams, study for 2 more years in a profile class, choose and pass the final exams to go for the higher education later.

Have to split it into three different posts, so this will be a part 1, part 2 and 3 will be in the replies[/spoiler]
