As is defined by the urban dictionary— a multipotentialite is a person who has potential in multiple fields.
But do they lead a meaningful life? Many would consider that they are the happiest lot relishing every field of life. But actually, that’s not the case.

You are labelled “irresponsible” or “afraid to commit”: –
As you don’t stick to any particular field, you may have a feeling that you are not responsible. Moreover, people may consider you irresponsible and careless.
The Blame Game:
Very often there is a pressure from outside to stick to any particular task or field. In such a situation you may start blaming yourself. Perhaps others will advise you to get disciplined or committed.
Not fitting in: –
You may feel lonely or dejected when you sense that you ate not like others who are committed to any particular tasks. You feel yourself to be different from others.
Disappointments: –
As a multipotentialite you don’t have a particular goal. Though you work hard, because of your changing goals, success does not come. There is a feeling of disappointment. This tells upon your self-confidence.
The Matrix: –
You always try and you keep on searching for the single purpose that may satisfy you.
The Feeling of being abnormal: –

You Suppress: –

But despite their vulnerabilities, multipotentialites can succeed a lot. Of course they are quick learners and have the power to innovate or improvise in every situation.
But the important thing is that they should be confident and they should have belief in themselves.
Trust that the dots connect: –
They must have a belief that every experience helps in the future. We must remember that knowledge is a unified whole. Hence, in the whole span of life, experiences from various fields can help an individual and the multi-potentialites can succeed in this way.
Take small steps: –
All small steps are important. Therefore, you have to make a list of all the things that you want to do. But you should not have great expectations. You should bear it in mind that you want to learn. When you feel no interest, leave the particular work. Then you have to proceed to the next work in the list.
