I regret buying a guitar, I can't even do the simplest shit on it according to YouTube... I dunno if it's laziness or just being tired of sucking so much and not being able to play the music that I like... Maybe a mix of both?

There are people who have natural ability at every instrument, but it's much more common for it to be with one or two types of instruments. Them a little (enjoyable) practice will get them to whatever level of mastery they're happy with. They can be totally hopeless at other instruments, and average at others. The ones that will blow your mind are those who are total naturals at one, but choose to pursue an instrument they have no natural ability at.
