Yeah but how can you fix that? Pretty useless to mope about your upbringing or genetics.

Let me tell you something I actually did a few days ago.

>Couldn't sleep, so gave up and stayed up all night.
>during which night, I found out my voter's registration somehow lists my name as misspelled
>so, tried to change it via the internet but for some reason they didn't have my real name on record
>I probably don't exist, according to the government. This is a big deal.
>so I made 3 attempts to log in, but they only allow 3 attempts before locking you out
>almost gave up, until I realized you can also print the form and mail it in
>OK, do that
>try printing the form
>my printer doesn't show up
>spend an hour trying to troubleshoot
>get no where
>give up

>6 AM comes
>time to get ready to leave for work
>too sleepy, don't feel like showering or riding a bike 5 miles to work
>call in sick and just stay in and watch TV all day

>now I'm sleepy, missing a sick day, I have an incorrect name and I own a printer that doesn't work
>all because I give up so much

>>36695013
let me know if you find out a solution. i'm not that bad but still pretty close

>>36695175
You reprogram yourself
Follow the Nietzsche doctrine of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Learn to love the uncomfortable feelings of challenge, anxiety and the brain signals that are screaming to run away and hide in bed.

>have musical ideas
>think of making an EP
>spend $130 on a MIDI controller
>look up how to set it up
>"Yikes, looks complicated."
>put it back in the box, store it away in a closet
>EP never exists because of this
It's still there, just collecting dust.

Same here
Learned helplessness

That's why I even avoid competitive multiplayer games nowadays. Just so frustrating

Go do it, now!

Do it, do it!

>>36695364
But you can't love the feelings that are designed to feel bad, at best you can accept them. But I'm too weak or lack willpower.

>>36695408
It's not just setting it up, though
you also have to collect VSTs, set those up, learn to use them, and learn to manipulate and create your own synth presets

it's just too much

I prefer to play piano or guitar or something because it's so instant. electronic music is hard.

my mind is just stuck
i failed so many times that i cant believe that i can do anything
cant find motivation for anything
i will fuck it up somehow

My entire life situation is based on how easily I give up

>school is hard
>drop out
>never get a job
>stay in bed
>become NEET
NEETdom is NOT fun. It's a special kind of hell.

>>36695451
Feel you there man, it sucks.

>>36695013
I have the instixt to do this but whenever I end up saying no and just trying a little more it breaks through

I think we are afraid of failure

>>36695364
That's the OPPOSITE of how you should live geez baka white people

>>36695013
>college
>have trouble understading one topic from one class
>drop out from that class

What will you do before they find out?

>>36695697
I know that feel. it's horrible

>>36695451
Exercise is overrated. Just eat less

>>36695717
I had found a job but I quit after a week because they wanted me to answer the phone/door

>>36695428
What the fuck kind of DAW are you trying to use? All the ones I've tried come with enough preinstalled VSTs and presets to keep you busy for months.

>>36695407
This is the correct answer, actually.

>>36695785
>just ignore your brain's food intake regulation system, it was super easy for me lol

>>36696027
REAPER.
It's the objective best DAW ever built, but comes with nothing out of the box.

>>36696088
If you're just starting out and want a low-friction experience, why the fuck are you trying to use Reaper? Download Caustic or something.

Welp, I guess that settles it. REAPER best DAW

>>36695374
You guys are dumb. I've been making music on a computer with just a pirated version of fl studio and my keyboard

Just sell that thing. Buy some weed and sit there and smoke with your studio.

You can approach them with a different mindset so that they are more rewarding. View your challenges as a predator rather than the prey.
