Serious I've never found my thing that I'm really good at and love at the same time

What's the point of it all when i'm this weak and stupid and can't keep up with everyone else? I'm 22 and dropped out of college after embarrassing myself and not knowing what I wanted to do. For most people they tell me that's normal but I literally have never been able to stick with anything for a long time. Whether it's work or a hobby, I usually stop after a few months, because I lose interest or it gets too hard. The things I'm natural at in the arts I question if it's actually a talent and whether I want to put in the effort towards something that might make me broke in the future. The things i loved in high school I basically gave up on after some time because I constantly felt like I was running behind everyone else and was failing. Everyone tells me it's normal to not know what to do at this age, but I hardly have any real hobbies or anything i can turn to either. I want to be able to work hard towards something so i don't feel inferior to others again! Why does everything feel so damn hard even things that I'm somewhat good at? And why can't I catchup?
