I'm not being rude here, but here's a phrase that sums up my thoughts: "Man up." What you're experiencing is probably a writer's block more than anything, but if it's not, you're just having a severe lack of confidence in yourself. There are times when you feel neglected or unsatisfied with your product’s result after some time passes on, but think back when you felt happy and satisfied with its success. If you’re willing to see what you made go all the way to its end, you should be dedicated and strive towards finishing what you started. A lot of people make the mistake of not remembering how they succeed in what they make, and only the best kinds of people will press on through troublesome thoughts. If you hate being taken lightly, find a way to be taken seriously or a way that you would feel happy with. Receive feedback in how you craft something. If you hate how something is not feeling right, make it right instead of quitting. Quitting is like receiving a Petroleum Engineering major at Texas A&M because you don’t feel satisfaction out of it, rather than because you can’t receive it at all. Some may not be able to get a Petroleum Engineering major because they really can’t, but many who don’t are usually unsatisfied with themselves and simply quit because they feel like it. You are feeling like quitting, but I assure you, there are people who do not want to quit and stand by your side. Note how I never mentioned Roleplaying in my previous examples: this is because this not only occurs to you in RolePlayer Guild, but it happens one hundred times more in real-life. I’ve seen people destroy great contributions to society by quitting because they no longer felt motivation and satisfaction out of what they made. They failed to find a way to satisfy and motivate themselves to press on with the products that initially made them proud: that’s what you need to prevent. I myself nearly suffered this in not only Athalia, but also in reality, and I had friends who thankfully saved my hide by reminding me of why I now stand by their side in the first place. Stand or sit straight, and look back when you need to. Learn how to know when you should change and when you should not change, receive feedback from your friends and people you are close to when you feel doubt. Do as much as you can to let you re-experience that feeling of joy, and if it does not last as long as you think it would, try again until you do again. Look at the good and the bad of what you made, and just think about it for a while. Don’t look forward when you feel down, because there is a reason why the past matters so much. The past dominates what happens in the present, and the present controls what happens in the future. _____________________________________ On another note, when da fk shud i post as zen
