I realized that I don’t need advice. Heck, I don’t even want advice!
I want encouragement, or advice which can lead me to what I want to earn - a relationship, wellness, whatnot!
I have great ambitions and one of them is to create music. However my environement discourages it!
They tell me it’s best to find high-tech work for security and money, and because of my low social skills, where in a possible musical industry you need social skills to get what you want

But the music is my ambition. Other than that, it’s to study mathematics which is one of my favorite professions

I also posted allot about a crush I had, and while I appreciate the advice I did not want them - I wanted encouragement all this time! And frankly, I am disappointed I got no encouragement when I mentioned I needed it

I hope to find people who can encourage me rather than discourage

What would encouragement here look like to you?

Try to imagine the ideal reply you would receive...what would that look like?

No idea
Someone who would support my thoughts and wishes

I see. I hope you are able to find the support you need here. Best of luck to you!

Hi Vibrating Obsidian. I'd just like to say, you could pursue your music and your other goals as well, most definitely. Do not feel discouraged, please. I'd say a lot of the musical greats came up against similar kinds of discouragement. Look at Lady Gaga [I consider her great] - discouraged by one of her tutors as looking 'too ethnic' to ever make it in music, and Lady Gaga never forgot that - but she proved them wrong, big time. No doubt there are a lot of examples along those lines - in all areas of life, not just music. And as long as your music sounds good [and it doesn't have to sound mainstream either, if you don't want it to] then that's all that matters, and you can work around any other inner obstacles you may have. It's my view that personality, social skills, etc., aren't necessarily the main thing at all in the music industry - a lot of musicians, producers, and so forth, for example, are actually quite withdrawn as people - yes - and that's okay - you wont be judged on that. It's about the music, my friend! It's about the music! I want to encourage you to pursue your music with all your heart because people love music [and they will also love the music maker, almost unconditionally, as well, heh]. So, go for it Vibrating Obsidian. You can pursue multiple goals. You really can do it.

The thing I found difficult is finding the right settings in life, particularly social settings
There is no audience. I once posted my music in a social group and hardly got responses. I attempted to understand why I got no responses
With that, regarding an audience, there have to be themes
As a subordinate, I am exposed to too many themes and ideas, which makes it hard to dominate a specific genre.
If there are themes I love, they are:
1. Game soundtrack remakes
2. Muses

I guess I can start with that?

Follow your heart, and focus. Creative minds are the most misunderstood. You can do whatever you set your mind on.good luck

Yes, you can start with those, absolutely. Also, if you haven't already, then learning a few mixing techniques can help as well - to make the audio quality sound more appealing to the ear of the listener. There are lots of tutorials, as you may know, regarding mixing on YouTube. I do a bit of producing myself as a hobby see [sort of dubstep/reggaestep].

Also, post your music on more than one website [just internet search them] and after you post, even ask for feedback to see what people think. Let the music grow. And if you haven't already, check out bandcamp.com. People may not comment on your music but they may still like it and want to give you money for a download. Bandcamp.com.

So, those are a couple of suggestions. Music is awesome.

Hi. Do you still have any music online? I wouldn't mind hearing it.
