Reply to comment by Queen-of-meme in How I get things done in times where I don't feel like it [tool] by TheGameNavigator

This is definitely the case for entertaining youtubers, that's not me though ..

I went two years long without subs, but I loved it, still love it, cause I do what I love.

And here is the catch, mixing passion with money is the worst trap people fall into, passion does not pay most times, and I was aware of that fact, that's why until today my main stream of Income isn't YouTube.

I'm a youtuber too, and I hear you. I did it for the love, then the modest income. But in depression, I now feel like it's more of an obligation and I've forgotten the 'love' of it. The artistic process is gone. It feels pointless. I'm trying to get back to the way I felt when I started, when I was eager and full of inspiration and action.

Maybe you just need to chat with someone where you can pitch ideas?

I have a million ideas. I even have them all written down, I just completely lost faith in myself. I am slowly working my way back

Is it that you're afraid to fail?

Not sure. Yeah I think that's part of it. Mostly lack of self confidence perhaps. Logically I know I can do it and I know I'm good at what I do. But emotionally, I'm just wiped and lost

Ah ok so it's a hobby rather than your job. I think that alone can be a motivator too. A hobby is less pressure.
