Pete Holmes references always get upvotes . Always . <| sep |> Jameis to Mike Evans , and what seems like an increasingly competent head coach <| sep |> Most people I work with or know think I ' m either pretending to be a writer , or that I ' m talking DnD when I start to go into any level of detail about any of my settings . I was straight up mocked and riddiculed by many good friends for somethings I had managed to commit to paper . So I ' ve made it a point that I do not talk about my worldbuilding to people in a personal setting , except for a choice few I know won ' t judge me for it . The particular event of ridicule even caused me to abbandon a particular work I was working on , losing all desire to continue , while my desire and drive for worldbuilding has lessened , it ' s not completely gone and I still continue building , just not with the focus or commitment I once had . while I do post here mainly through comments I rarely recieve anything in the way of feedback for good or ill and feel like my ideas mainly fall on deaf ears . It has begun to make me question if my ideas are even any good or just plain stupid , or at least , not quick enough to recieve many views to be responded on or just not interesting enough to others . Another possibility could be my comments are just lost in the sea of posts with tons of comments .
