    My problem is more of a “you pretentious douche, who the hell would care to consume what you produce?”

    I write like 2 sentences and then those thoughts start and it sucks all the motivation out of me because I just feel like a fool. Like I get people write books and people like to read them, but I can’t help but feel like an absolute toolbag for even trying to write.

      I know it’s way easier said than done. But as someone who has just finally after 30+ years started to shut those voices up by focusing on something I wanted, not what I thought someone else would enjoy. And it’s helped me keep those voices at bay. It’s hard not to care and not to want the thing you make to be successful and for other people to like it. I may still never publish something. But the time I spend thinking about that world and those stories is a happy and fun place to be, simply because I like it there and not because I think anyone else will. I hope that made any amount of sense.

        That did, I appreciate the perspective! I like the idea of creating a world with a story, I just need to “get over myself” I guess lol

      If you keep talking, I can’t stop listening, but I can always stop reading. That’s why I sit in silence at work, but online, I have an opinion for a ton of stuff. Including on what you just prompted me to say.

      I write for the pleasure of me. If I manage to make even a bit of sense while doing so, even better.

      I’ve found out how awkward I come across too late most of the time. Not willing to put myself out there often.

    My first program was perfect.

    No unnecessary code, no bugs, no missed edge cases. One of the cleanest codes I’ve ever written.

    And it fulfilled the requirements 100%

      The greatest podcast has yet to be.

      It will never occur if no new voices tried their first podcast.

      I still want to hear more about my niches. How to elicit kind responses from others. How to more effectively teach others. How to communicate. I want to hear from disparate sources in different styles. I want to hear people who are skilled at creating a natural environment to put their guests at ease. I want to hear passionate people. I want to hear voices that haven’t been heard yet, and will transform the current podcast into something better.

      The internet was not impressive overnight. It became impressive after many voices added themselves to the mix. We really don’t need more websites… except that one that doesn’t exist yet.

    I just wish I could tell why something I make is bad beyond a niggling feeling of unpleasantness.

      It takes more experience to understand why. Just keep at it. In a year you’ll look back at your previous work and cringe with how bad it was, but you’ll understand exactly what makes it bad, and with determination and self-education, you won’t be making those mistakes anymore.

      I guess try to figure out what exactly gives you that feeling, and ask people you trust to give criticism and input

      I have this problem a lot, and most of the people I ask either say “it looks great” or “it looks terrible” so it’s hard, but you get there eventually.
