I’m realizing I don’t need to fix myself as often as I thought

A lot of my “self-improvement” was just me being too hard on myself. Lately, I’m trying acceptance instead

I am a talentless person who doesn't know what I want from life.

I'm 18 years old. I don't know what to do with my life. Until now, I've spent all my time playing computer games and reading modern fiction. I've never had a thirst for knowledge. I wanted to join the army, but I have very poor eyesight, -8; -8.5, and I'm a scrawny guy, so I just wouldn't pass the medical examination. I'm definitely not a tech person, and I'm unlikely to be a humanities person either, because I'm simply dumb and uneducated. Programming doesn't interest me at all. I'm just a basic consumer, really. Lately, I've started getting interested in history and the history of painting, but I'll definitely lose in competition to people who have been interested in this stuff almost since they were in diapers. I'd like to hear stories from people who have been through something similar. How did you find your path? What do you do now? I'll probably be frying chicken at KFC my whole life, and lately, that prospect has started to bother me.

Today is my birthday. My cat died the day before yesterday.

She was very old, but it was still a shock, and it happened in front of me. I don't know what I am going to do without her. I don’t even know what the point of this post is. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.
Edit: I have been reading every comment. Thank you so much for all of the kindness and support. It means more than I can express with words.
