Do you tend to discredit a skill you have if it comes easily to you?

Asked by janbb (62876points) September 15th, 2020

I’ve been thinking about this lately because I get really positive reactions to the paintings I post online. I have been painting for a long time and worked hard at it over years but now it seems to come quite easily to me. I’m no Rembrandt or Picasso and I feel my little whimsical paintings are no big deal so I’m surprised at all the great feedback.

TLDR: Do we denigrate personal talents that seem fairly simple to us?
