Should I leave?

[Lexy]

Hello all I've been taking a cold hard look at my life and realized that I am no more than a worthless Pest who just annoys people until they snap at him. I have overviewed he last 14 years of my life and cannot find one significant thing I have done. And I feel like an outsider here because I long to create a game but I lack the skills. I cannot sprite, map, script, make midis, or even make a decent RTP game. I've been thinking I should leave since I can't even contribute to the community but I feel like I should stay because I have no real life of my own and I want to try to make friends but It just doesnt work.

So what do you guys think Should I stay or should I go.

Realize that if you are a "Pest", the only thing that makes you a pest is you. Do you want to do something significant? Then go out and do it! Skills can be gained. When I first came to this community, I felt like I could do nothing, just like you. However, once I gained the desire to improve my spriting and art, I just tried to spend as much time as possible on it and before you know it, you're improving.

However, if you as you say "have no real life" I would suggest perhaps taking a short sabbatical from the Internet, find friends with similar interests, and do something together. Don't be afraid to talk to people you normally wouldn't.

I would suggest taking a short sabbatical if you feel this way and coming back in a week or two.

that sounds liek a grand idea djzalzer. Although I dont know what a sabbatical is but aI think you mean take a break right.

I think at 5pm tommorow I shall start my Sabbtical thingy.

Thanks for the advice dj.

I would agree with djzalzer...instead of making topics like this or even thinking about it, you should be DOING something about it.

Yes, it is when a cartoonist, reporter etc. take a break.

14 year old and 'taking a cold hard look' at your life are antonyms.

Just do something instead of making topics like these.

Well I had myself thinking about suicide a few minutes ago but then I thought your a dumbass Alex.

 

[Ceroscuro]

So... you were going to commit suicide because you can't make a proper RPG? Do you know what percent of the world (that is living) have not made an RPG?

 

[Lexy]

It's much more that that dude This isn't 2% of whats on my mind right now.

Edit: Well that clears a bit off my mind folks thanks for the input I think I'll start that Sabttical thingy ma bob now.

This forum or anyone on it doesn't expect anything from you or anyone else. There are far more members here that I couldn't relate to anything specific than I could (games or talent). Loadsa people just like to hang out here from time to time. Even if they do say things, at the end of the day it's only on an internet forum, just relax, it's no big deal.

 

[Lexy]

Thanks Calibre that helps.

Anything is better than suicide.
It needs to be said.
