Is it normal that i have no talents?

Lately I've just been feeling very untalented and worthless. I grew up with very strict parents who have kept me on such a tight leash and during my childhood, they never took me to join a local sporting groups, or let me learn an instrument or let me find a hobby. They believe (especially my dad) that hobbies are a waste of time and will only prevent me from doing well in my studies, which is the only thing they seem to care about. Throughout high school all my friends had many talents (eg. one was very good at music and playing instruments and singing, another was known for her artistic skills and others were very good at sport etc.). I just feel like a major let down and all I do at home is finish my homework, go on my phone and laptop and they eat, sleep and repeat. My parents get angry at me for being on my phone too much, but other than that i literally have nothing else to do. Everyone says that you will find your talent eventually, but how can I if my parents don't let me? They expect me to get good grades, enter a successful University and have a successful career. I only have I short life which I want to make memorable and fun but I can't. I'm sorry, I know I'm ranting but it's been bugging me for months now and I just had to let someone know. I doubt anyone will read this or care, but if anyone comes across this post, at least they will know they are not as big of a fail as i am.

    Nobody was born with a talent. You have to practice what ever you want to do.

    Your life is not about being the best or accomplishing a goal to please everyone. Your life is your pleasure. Your OWN dreams and OWN goals. Don't ever listen to people who judge you by what you did in your past experiences or just how you live your OWN life.

    You have no time to be thinking that your life is amounted to what you do for an "activity". Psst. Doesn't matter. You're in a society,not Hunger Games, for christ sake.

    Sounds to me like you are in a state of anxiety or depression. Go see a school counselor when possible.
