Tysm everyone for the words and the different perspectives, I really needed to hear some of this XD
Tbh, I still feel a bit jealous about the recognition and creativity part (can't lie, I'm only human), but reading yall comments definitely made me feel less insecure, I’m glad I shared this here (..◜ᴗ◝..) reply
it's ok to feel that way. sometimes, people can be more good in performing the things that you taught them BUT always remember that if YOU didn't TEACH them, they will never reach that stage.
believe in your own potential, not everyone can do what you can do. DON'T BE A QUITTER!!! FIGHTING!!╰(*´︶`*)╯ reply
Ik it’s very difficult to stop comparisons and the feelings of insecurity- I’ve been there before way too many times. And as someone that’s went through your situation, let me tell you: comparison is indeed the thief of joy.
You are reaching a point where this feeling takes away the joy from a hobby that you’ve enjoyed for quite a while- ...... reply
Girl you're literally living my life. I had a friend who was like that as well. Even though I had been writing for longer, theirs kept getting recognised in lieu of me, worse part is that the ones that got recognition were based on the exact same themes which they "borrowed" from me. Yeah I was really pissed off, I just couldn't see how they were b...... 1 reply
Omg where the fuck am I going to find raws now. First it was bato. They had manga raws occasionally. Now Newtoki is down. They had literally any manhwa ever fuck. Where the hell do I go now… someone give me a site please.. email it to me..
Lately there a lot site shutting down like Bato and Newtoki and they even take down a Spanish Speaking manga/manhwa site called TuMangaOnline. Do you think mangago next because they tons of manhwa and mangadex luckily survive but they lost 7 thousand manga and manhwa. But I'm scared mangago doesn't have much of a strong support like dex and they h...... 9 reply
I'm not gonna compare the two of you or say yours could be better, I'm saying don't quit. Jealousy is normal and what you feel is totally valid, however you shouldn't let this pull you down. You are still good at what you do, you can still write and be unique in your OWN way. Don't compare yourself to them because you two aren't the same, try to pu...... reply
just because someone's story is getting more attention doesn't mean they're a better writer than you. readers naturally drift towards tropes and cliches they're familiar with. romantasy's one of the most popular, best selling genres today. doesn't mean they're the best written. if you truly think they're better at writing, then analyze why. are the...... reply
Didn't someone do this and there was a Google Drive link they shared? It was back when the site shut down for a day though. You can find it in forums still, I forgot who the user was but the Google Drive link consisted of a round 1000s of titles. They shared it around topics too. 1 reply
Don’t get discouraged just because you asked on a pirate website; I read on here sometimes and I went to the concert on Saturday. But anyway, if you have Instagram go to these two creators:
Bangtan Social Club
Tomkoods
They’ve created message boards or message threads where fans are selling their tickets at face value for various cities. Also,...... 1 reply
That's what upsets me the most about piracy sites going down... I like reading old stories that aren't really available any other way... I've just been transferring the stuff I care about remembering to my MAL account, but I'll never be able to get everything... gonna start reading manga on internet archive if I have to istg. I already read books t...... reply
My teacher sat the “class clown” next to me so I could tutor him. Younger me took this very seriously. I got a 92 on am exam and was slightly frustrated but all together was accepting. I look over to my protege to see my results and he had a 98. I got up and walked away

I feel you. I myself have a fear of feeling like this someday. It's a struggle. You genuinely love to help and teach but dread the idea of them getting better than you at the same time. I have come to make peace with it for the most part. I tell myself that I have nothing to feel insecure about, since them being good at the task shows that I was a ...... reply
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
