How to stop sucking?, Two words--I suck. Options

[LovelyNansukeCha...]

Yes, as you can plainly see, I (unreasonably?) am trying to stop sucking. These days I hate myself. All I can ever do anymore is thinking about how much I suck. I have no inspiration for my comics (writer's block) and every idea I have I throw away. My brothers are always telling me I suck at drawing and I have no drawing style, that I should copy someone. But copying feels horrible and also styleless. Also, my personality sucks. I act stupid 24/7 and I know it. So most of the time I'd rather just listen to everyone else and shut up completely cause I'm going to say something stupid and regret it. Same thing with my comics because I've looked back at old comics and thought, "This is stupid and geeky. Why did I ever think like this?" and I'm afraid the same thing will happen with the comics I do know. Gosh, I'm hopeless! Even worse, I'm going to regret what I said just now, like I did on another board I was on and delete my account. Gosh, I hate myself. Gosh. Gosh! (Too much napoleon dynamite.) Yeah, and just now I was so desperate that I was searching on google for "ways to stop sucking." And I said maybe I should just play the guitar...if I knew more about it, and if that string wasn't broken. And my older brother was telling me, "Ugh, you're so negative you suck! You suck!" So now a lot of what I've been doing is rereading fruits basket and...thinking about how the world has changed for the worse...and cleaning my room needlessly (sweeping imaginary dust). Hoping maybe something will happen to me, maybe I will grow up. And hoping doesn't help either. I don't know when I'm going to end this horrible, self pitying topic. I'm pretty sure everyone's going to agree with how much I suck in the end anyway. Gosh...oh yes, and I can't afford therapy, so that's not an option. Okay I wish I wouldn't pity myself so much because the person next to me probably has a better reason to be upset and I don't see whoever that is whining. Yup...sorry about this topic. I'll finish it now, I promise.

A psychiatrist would help..



Or a nice long walk..

Self pity is for the pathetic.

If you continue to wallow in your own self pity, you will fail in life and die a lonely, miserable, and slow death.

Go outside and do something productive.

[*kryogenix*]

Take a deep breath and relax.

And get to know the people on createblog. They'll put a smile on your face.

watch tv or something
or go out more often with your friends
or stop reading manga xD

[shortiiex]

it's hard to change but you need to TRY no matter how hard it is
if any tries to make you feel you worse...screw them
you need to stop using the computer and watching the tv and going out, and just do something different, like more books(apporiate age books)
Books can be a therapy, so you can start working on your self-estem

chicken soup?

just buy a puppie and don't let it die

[Mr. Slowjamz]

i wish i could talk to you , but unfortunately i only have enough time to post this reply ....lol ...but if you still need advice or help just pm me during the night .....i had the same problem ...myself....ill get back on this thread later on see ya

[demolished]

If this something to do with your relationship problem, this thread should be a perfect place for relationship forum.

Yes, i always suck. My brother call me suck and i do suck but f**k them. Just believe in yourself that one day, everything would be normal and enjoyable. Enjoy life to the fullest. i can see you have low self-esteem by just reading it. Yes. i do have low self-esteem but i made improvement. It takes times to be a better person. You cant just sit there and hope something would be better. That what make yourself hopeless. You just need to do something in order to recieve what you want. When there's a will, there's a way. Succeeding is what it matters the most .. well yeah, it works for me.

Who else thought this was gonna be dirty?

Anyway, I think that all you really need a confidence boost, and your surroundings aren't helping you. Try to be yourself. That's always beautiful, and it never sucks.

[pshaa.shauna]

I have so felt like that before, it lasted for about a month. Hmm...maybe you should go outside and run a mile. I know you're thinking "WTF? What is running going to do?" Let me explain. Running release endorphans(I know I spelt that wrong, I'm sounding it out bare with me), which is the hormone which makes you feel happy. If you are looking for ideas to stop writers block, look online for fan fictions. Don't read them for the charaters, but for the storylines. Combine storylines, listen to songs. I remember I listen to Rasputina, and one of their songs made me think of a story where these nuns brainwashed children-of course that was over summarizing it, but you get the drift. Talk to your friends, ask them their opinion. ASk them what you think you can do to change it, etc. It helped me. If you ever want to talk about it you can pm me, or better yet send an email to Advice Abby.

[Heathasm]

LOL that made me smile :]. i feel the same way some times. just relax and dont think too much. dont worry what other people think about you or what they are thinking. JUST DO IT

[DrSMooTH]

Who else thought this was gonna be dirty? 

I know. I say i can't stop sucking and went WHOA!!

But, seriously, do something that makes you happy. Don't concentrate on what ppl say and don't take it too seriously.

And ignore your brothers, cuz brothers don't know anything . My stupid older brother, gosh!

[*xcaitlinx*]

Who else thought this was gonna be dirty? 

hhaah i did. i was gunna try n be funny and reply "stop sucking? just take it out of your damn mouth, whore!"

that would've made things worse though..

[yummy_delight]

Who else thought this was gonna be dirty? 

LMAO
I actually DID think this was going to be dirty.

ANYWAYS, I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. I've had those days before when the self loathing gets worse and worse.

You don't suck, dear. There are a lot of people who suck worse than you. I suggest having some chocolate, then getting up and doing something fun with your friends or family. Being around people that love you will make you feel a lot better about yourself.

[toodlepops.]

But..but.. being stupid is fun!
Okay, kidding.

Actually, it doesn't matter if you suck/or not. Because everyone is different. If you think about it, Paris Hilton sucks for carrying a puppy everywhere she goes.

You know what? I hate hypocrites like you. You can't say that you never pitied yourself. "Go slash your wrists."? Woo Hoo! Way to help her out Dickwad. Go shove your not helping opinion up your ass.

[*incoherent*]

i think you just need some time alone

nvm...i realized if you think that stuff, youve already had enough time to yourself. just keep on keepin on. something amazing will someday happen, it just takes time.

[jennyjenny]

Well first,
get away from your brothers.

And don't be too hard on yourself.

go outside
go look out a window
go watch tv.
try to not think about it. it helps.

and we all suck. so don't worry.

[Saeglopur]

You can't suck as much as a vacuum cleaner cleaning a big dusty mansion.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Everyone faces depression once in awhile, my advice is just to not think so much on the negative and think of things you like and really make use of it.

[xtremeliquid]

oh god.

stfu.

Hah...shut up.

Anyways, don't feel down...maybe running does help. Try that out...it might work!

[HongKongDong]

Keep the mouth, away from the rod
Thats how you stop

Hey, look on the bright side, at least she's not all "OMG I'M SUICIDAL I WANT TO KILL MYSELF I'M SO GOTH OMG", right? Everyone goes into a little depressed phase now and then.


If you want to stop sucking, read up a book on something you're interested in. Go to the library and learn something. I know it sounds nerdy, but when I do that I feel like I did something worthwhile and I learned something. I'm guessing you're into anime...well, find a book on famous anime artists or the origin/history of anime or really good anime comics or something. Or draw. Listen to music.

Like BrandonSaunders said, do something productive.
