I originally wanted to be an artist but that really hasn't gone far...
I started being told to become a writer but I don't think I could do that either because I can only come up with stores that are basically just fanfiction.
I guess something related to video games would also interest me but I'm not smart enough to be a coder or anything like that.

Coding isn't about being smart, trust me. I do it for a job and I'm not having an extraordinary IQ.

I started out studying archaeology. That's what I would've loved to do: be the next Zahi Hawass, work in a museum making exhibits and handling extraordinary objects, show my face on a NatGeo documentary... I ended up not finding a job like that, so I took coursed to learn to be a programer because I was handy with the software they made us use in uni.

I think video game development comes with a lot of aspects, not just coding. You might still be able to do it and join a team of UX designers or something... And if not, it's no shame to e.g. work retail for a few years while figuring out your strengths and what you want and could do :) I did exactly that, after all.
 
Now that I think harder about it... My anxiety would stop me from trying to make a job out of fanfiction. I can't bear the idea of my family reading it. So that's out.

Retail sounds really anxiety-inducing to me... Is it?

I don't even know how I can still be thinking this seriously when I was supposed to be asleep hours ago.

Retail is.... Both amazing and exasperating. Depends on how much you can take before you get anxious. I'm pretty chill and can be kinda dominant, so no problems. I've had to train extremely timid people and I could just see them being anxious all the time even with the simplest tasks or questions

Oh
I feel I should also point out that I think it's important to have a job you like/love, but also still have a hobby that's NOT that job that you also love, to help you unwind and separate work and private life. So perhaps you can keep the artistic stuff as a hobby?
