like, here's an example. I got 136 songs or something on soundcloud, I got next to no views, not a single dime made with anything. another guy I know, grew up in the same town, has six songs, he has views way past the ten thousands and is on german television. with a single song. I have 136. he has one. he gets to travel around and be appreciated while I get to apply to jobs and sit alone at home making music that nobody listens to. also making games that nobody plays and art that nobody hangs on their wall. what is the deal, life?

also he's the son of a musician and was always a universally liked popular guy. guess I'm just that stereotypical outcast that has to work really hard and eventually gets rewarded for it, or not

I don't think your trying hard enough, 136 isn't nearly enough sound cloud songs to have.

cause there's something weird about me that makes everybody hate me in about a couple weeks after they first got to know me. it's like [thread title]

some people are just lucky, like being lucky enough to be born the son of a famous musician I guess.

the most successful people out there are generally hard workers that got very lucky / were prepared to act on it when opportunity came by, so keep at it and maybe you'll get a chance to shine. or maybe not and you'll die in obscurity someday, but thats what happens to most people. but if you don't try you have zero chance of being successful.

is it because you enviously whine about people who are more successful than you a lot?

definitely trying, trying until something works or forever, whatever comes first.

It's really easy to be successful without making music or video games or painting pictures. You can't expect your hobbies to bring you fame and fortune.

never. that's being frustrated alone at home and venting at a place that is safe from messing with my social standing

it's gotten better, but it's kept me from making social connections early on and now I'm stuck being this person that doesn't know a lot of people and it's like constantly to late to slowly start inching social relations into something favorable for my work, which would kinda seem unethical either way

If you care about what other people think about you, your "social standing", how successful you are, etc, you're completely overthinking this life thing.

that's just regarding this whole it's about who you know thing. recognition of my work is important to me, knowing a lot and the right people is really important for that, and I lack it.
