Quote from: braixen1264 on December 11, 2016, 08:41:28 AM@Noc Idk how valid my opinions are here but I feel that regardless of talent, it's mostly work ethic and attitude that'll decide your level of success. I think you should just stop comparing yourself with others everywhere to try and find ways in which you're incompetent, because really that's not going to help you at all.

Good advice ;)

But seriously as musicians I think we understand better than almost anyone that no matter how long and how hard you work, there are always people better than you. It's important to use that as motivation to better yourself and not let it consume and depress you.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Quote from: MaestroUGC on December 11, 2016, 07:27:27 AMAlso, being relatively bad at video games isn't a real measure for your success in life.
This. Some of the most famous gaming YouTubers are worse at video games than the common person.

As someone who's improving at skullgirls, gotten decently good at melee and arranging, and totally failing at tennis here's what I've learned:

1. Don't be afraid to get advice from other people.
2. Don't get discouraged by platues (seems to be your problem with magic.) Everytime you play, recognise what you could've done better. If you can't, get someone really good to watch you and tell you.
3. Learn through doing, so long as your imploying the above device. Practice is important, but I as well as many other people have made the mistake of trying to improve only through practice, which gets you nowhere fast. That's like playing scales 2 hours everyday for 3 months then at the end wondering why you can't sight read chopins etudes.
4. Most importantly, don't be afraid of sucking. Everyone does. The only people who don't are those who don't get discouraged by their trashiness and keep trying to improve.

As for your job, minimum wage jobs just suck. Your aspergurs probably gives you focus issues that make it harder for you to manage than other people, so my advice would be to find something that works for you. A counsler might really be able to help you there since they've probably delt with similar situations before.

Have you ever had "weird people" commenting on your youtube vids?? First some random guy named dektora77 commented on a lot of my Yugioh vids ???, and then, even stranger, a guy named KKK StrikeBack wrote a "nice comment" on my one piece grand battle video. Also, that comment seems just seems too nice for some nazi-guy to write, literally perfect grammar, wtf!?? ???

Some people on youtube... are just crazy and weird, ;D
