I don't play DDR with an audience of course. I sweat too much to be comfortable around first of all, plus a big guy like me needs a fair bit of room.
I can give the attack and defense of some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards actually, but mostly because I have one of the video games. Some of course are very well known like Blue Eyes White Dragon being 3000 attack and 2500 defense.
Anyway, g'night!
Stop biting the insults of people that will tell you that you suck or you won't make it, because honestly, if you bite, then you WONT make it and you probably WILL suck. you have to just ignore the people who think you wont get anywhere, and prove them fucking wrong. It's simple as that. Sure, negative criticism is fine, but it has to be legit criticism, not put downs. If someone gives you some advice on something you messed up on, take that advice and use it to your best judgement. Learn from your mistakes. I'm gonna quote adventure time here and say "Being bad at something is the first step at being somewhat good at something". You have to fail before you get good, but you shouldn't let people discourage you from progressing in something you love, be it art, programming or what ever else.

It isn't other people that I have that problem with, it is me. I used to be able to use my own extreme criticism for myself to do pretty good art, and anything else for that matter, but I can no longer get out of my own criticism. I haven't been able to for a very long time, probably because my home life shows me I won't ever be able to have a life as long as my mother is around and I continue to take care of her. My leash doesn't go very far.

I'm reminded of what Adam Savage has talked about on several occasions where he realizes that about 70% into almost anything he works on he hits a block. The trick for him, he says, is anticipating it and keeping cool to work with it.
Also, there are many things you don't need to be good at to have fun. I have fun playing DDR on a pad but I know I'm not good at it comparatively speaking.
Learning a new habit/way of thinking takes time and effort, but it's rewarding.

Tsk. Well then. Being your own critic can be the worst possible thing. Sometimes you just need to ignore yourself and get shit done and improve anyways. A lot of things you described as having an interest in can be improved upon by yourself. It just takes time. Also, i'm 100% sure you know people who are willing to help you improve in anything you wish to do. Like, if you wish to get good at art again, I will gladly help you in any way I humanly can, just because I love seeing artists progress and get better and all that stuff. Sure, i'm not the best, but still. I'm improving, even through my own self despair, which comes along often, since I often compare myself to other people I know who are BRILLIANT.
