This is nothing incel or women related. It's about a hobby of mine. I came across someone whose talents put mine to brutal shame, which immediately snuffed out the flame of ambition inside me.
Is it normal to lose all ambition about a craft once you see someone genetically superior mog you in it?
B
No.
Seeing a superior Craftsman should make you strive to become proficient

No, you don't understand. The person I witnessed was superior to me from the get-go. Genetically, I would say.
Of course I used to feel motivated for seeing skilled people back when I was a beginner and unaware of my potential. However, i's been years now and the level of my innate potential has become very clear to me. I'm not the worst. I also mog some people. But my drive is completely crushed when I see people that can create something in a month that I probably couldn't in five months.

FUCK, I really get filled with shame every time I realize there are moggers going around who make my efforts like like a complete joke. I wish I could erase them from my mind and keep going like before.

It’s normal, it means, you don’t cope and see reality as it is. But losing all motivation is not necessary. You maby don’t mog him but you can still mog others who are worse than you and make them feel what you felt because of him

Thank you for understanding how I feel. And I like your solution. I honestly just need to focus on the people that I mog. That way I can at least get somewhere for feeling motivated.
Yes.
Thanks, I agree.
Anyways, I think I will push myself one last time. I will create one more project and try my hardest to make it a success. If I fail, then I will most likely stop trying permanently.
Yeah, well, I've been there, and there's always someone who's better than me, and of course, it's always someone who mogs me. And it is discouraging, and makes it hard to enjoy what you used to love. And it's hard to ignore that fact, too. I don't really have an answer to it, because I've been down the path you're on, failed, and given up.
I think humans have a natural "winner takes it all" mindset that made sense in smaller and more primitive human communities. In our big and vast world, seeing the absolute masters of a craft via the internet probably tricks the subconscious into thinking that it's your tribemate who is putting you to shame in front of everyone else. It's a bit counterproductive to get discouraged simply for not being the #1 in something to be honest. It's probably just a primitive quirk of the brain.
Yeah, you're probably right. But I'm also just not that good at very many things, either, so that kills motivation, too.
I understand completely.
This is the exact reason I stopped playing multiplayer videogames, when I hear normies on vc who are 10x better than I will ever be despite playing maybe 2-3 hours a day

It is normal and it has happened to me before.
Yes. I've had cool video ideas for youtube like pranks/etc and big youtubers steal them and i've just lost motivation to even be a youtuber anymore. Just about all of my sick ideas were made.
