its amazing how negatively people will judge you if you arent running your mouth all the time. im quiet most the time so people think im slow, a pushover (despite my size), or that i am arrogant.

I have always been underestimated especially by my family and people I grew up with. Almost everything I have done in life, I was always first told that I couldn't do it, then I did it. I quit my job last week and going 100% independent and I still have my doubters. I've been doubted so much in my life that it actually sounds like encouragement to me...no lie.

I feel ya. I've had so many doubters and naysayers over the years.

Then when I actually succeeded, they were the first ones to apologize.

If I wasn't such a nice guy, I would of told them to f*ck off with they hatin asses...

My dad got into it with my kindergarten teacher who wanted to hold me back an extra year because I didn't seem to want to socialize with her, (I personally don't find any benefits to speaking to hagrid old CAC women as a 6 year old but I digress.)

He pretty much was was like "No offense but you don't know what the fukk you are talking about you dumb CAC bytch." in more polite terms when he rejected the offer to hold me back before letting me go to the 1st grade. I excelled so much that they actually wanted to skip me up to the 2nd grade but my parents decided to leave me put in the 1st grade.

I've had plenty of dumb teachers hold me back assuming I was another dumbass black kid. I wish I would have understood how little they knew at the time instead of taking their words at face value. I could have easily soared past my academic potential. Luckily there were some non-racist white ladies that helped me realize that I have to trust in myself and they recognized talent in me when other teachers did everything in their power to try and hold me back. Ever since then it was a WRAP!




Just remember in life that you don't have to prove shyt to no one except YOURSELF!!! Make some close friends, get help when you need it and perfect your craft so you can contribute your talents to the world to help make it a better place. It's better to hustle, perfect your craft and persist pursuing your career than being an ambitionless "shoulda, woulda, coulda" muthafukka.

It's better to work as if you're not being watched anyways...people look for that, not the person that works but is constantly looking to see if his or her work is being noticed. At least that's what I've seen and come to believe thru experience...

Yeah I feel that. Not talking about it but being about it.

Sometimes I feel like, I'm so used to people saying "no" that I don't know how to react when someone says "yes".

story of my life

 

[tonyclifton]

Nope. I'm the type that doesn't go out of my way to show people my talents and strengths unless it is to my advantage, most people see me as just a funny crazy fukker. When they do get a real conversation out of me there shocked at how fukking smart I am


I enjoy the element of surprise

Everyday....like a mattress courtdog bought used on craigslist...

Nah but seriously, I feel like the greatest struggle in my life is trying to make people respect/recognize my art, music, style, intelligence, output, etc....

Maybe everything you just listed you're really bad at.

Ever cross your mind bra?

No.

 

[Roaden Polynice]

No.

Tbf if what you're doing wasn't shyte you'd have already been on breh and not creating some fictional underdog situation.

It's ok to be average and mediocre. Doesn't make you less of a person b

Seems like you guys are giving too much credence to how other people feel about you. The only person who needs to know how much I'm capable of is ME

Great post.

This is why I make threads like these. I figure the thoughts and opinions within could help people out in life. I know these convos help me out otherwise I wouldn't be making them.
