No, it's follow up from the grandparent comment:
1. OP: how do I find something that I'm good at?
2. GP comment: find something that interests you and put in a lot of time, effort and practice.
The natural follow up question is to ask "how do I find something that interests me enough so I can put in effort and practice over a prolonged period of time?". And this is something that OP is struggling with:
> Changed several jobs, and in my hobbies, I am jumping from one project to another. How do you stay focused?
