Not sure if this goes here or not? but ive dabbled a little here and there with different things but i lack like every skill to make a game. Im wondering what aspect or skill is worth getting better at, for gamedev?

I cant code, i cant draw/3d art, i cant make music, im bad with ideas, etc.

Where do i even begin or what would you advise?

So you have nothing to contribute. Why do you even want to make games then? What's the part of it that inspires you? For me, it's programming. For others, it's art, design, music, etc. If you have no interest in any of that, then gamedev is a terrible career move.
