Is this loss

Then the average person is going to have a much harder time attributing proficiency to either of those factors, and it’s much more appropriate to just compliment their hard work and dedication.

If someone has just started learning to do something and is unexpectedly good at it, you can call that talent.

If you say that someone has a talent for doing something that they’ve done for a long time and put a lot of practice into, that’s when I consider it rude.

On a complete side note, I really hate the term “talent” when it’s used to talk about skills. Calling someone talented is unfairly derisive to both parties involved.

It’s insulting the recipient, since it dismisses their skills as some innate ability, and invalidates the months or years of hard work they did to get where they are.

It’s also unfairly deprecating to the giver, by reinforcing the notion that you need to be “talented” to do cool things, and that they’re just inherently “untalented” and would never be able to do them even if they tried.

But I guess it does work as an excuse for not working toward self-improvement, and alleviates that cognitive dissonance…
