Woah woah woah, normie?! Okay I’ll try not to take offense 😅 Someone can be non-normie and still express themselves in a straightforward manner. I think for myself quite a bit, so please don’t assume otherwise just because of my writing style. I actually understand your post just fine, it’s just obtuse and more difficult to understand than the typical post. Not difficult to understand because of its conceptual content - difficult to understand because of the stream of consciousness presentation. I could write like that too, I choose not to. But I think its fine if you want to write that way, it’ll just find less success in this community, methinks. People will compare unusual text to a writer in an attempt to make their ego feel as though they recognize something others don’t. Other people are too stupid to understand something even a little outside a stylistic norm. Just depends on the person. Me - I don’t think you’re stupid, but writing in that style doesn’t impress or confound me either (To be fair, almost no writing styles have ever impressed or confounded me). I’ve known some people IRL that are a lot like how you seem to be, they’re nice fine people. Anyways, I don’t think you’re getting downvoted because people don’t understand you, I think it’s because: You’re writing like this is your personal journal, with no concern for giving us context. (“His bike” - who is him?) Some smarter people won’t mind this. But the conceptual content of your post isn’t enough to be make the smart kind of person feel engaged either. I mean, it’s relatable problems dude, but we all feel that way pretty much. It’s a good vent but that’s about it. Bringing me to… Although the shitpost community (in my opinion, annoyingly) says that “anything goes”, including specifically venting like your post is…the practical reality is it’s mostly for funny images that are a bit nonsensical or trollish, not big text posts. The vibe of your post sounds like you’ll shrug off any criticism or thinking that isn’t already very closely mirroring your own, and nobody wants to bother having that kind of discussion. Both parties want to be listened to. Anyways, for what it’s worth, I do think money affirmation has truth to it. Despite my lack of being impressed earlier, you can write well (I’m just not impressed by good writing, doesn’t mean yours isn’t good lol). Personally I think there’s no harm in making enough money to have a more comfortable life when you’re doing it in an artsy expressive way like writing which puts positive feelings out into society like you said. You could probably reach more people that way than by juggling, which maybe is worth considering. The money, just because its an outcome, doesn’t have to be the purpose. So yeah, no hard feelings, I only hit your original post with the downvote because I want to preserve the vibe of the community. It’s like if a guy is playing a good EDM track in the middle of a bluegrass concert, its not like the music is bad, its just important to keep the concert on topic. I hope you find a cool way to keep sharing your thoughts somewhere. I don’t know you well enough to say what’s the best way to do that, but I’m sure your doc and your fellow weirdo have good ideas.
