Practicing. (Fellow musicians welcome to vent.)

Nitpicking is never a good idea. It only makes you more discouraged to do said thing and it only makes you more prone to mistakes because the frustration builds up in you, and the fact that you know you can’t mess up makes you mess up. She should learn some manners and learn how to be thankful.

@A38 For real dude. Nitpicking can even lead to depression (I think)

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 There’s a difference between encouraging your kids to perform their greatest and being a unpleasable jerk who takes things more seriously than they should. You dont have to be the best. It’s not like your school is expecting more from you than any other student. Your mom just needs to chill. Maybe she stressed to be the best, but who said that’s what you want. Like Sen said, gotta let different people be different people. Kids are not mini-me’s of parents.

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 i love piano.

I fucking hate practicing violin cause i’m always afraid i’m not good enough or i’m raping someone’s ears. Mom loves me playing and gets bratty if i don’t.

@Enzi FELT.

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 I don’t get it. Why get so pressed at your kid for so little reason? I could maybe understand if she has disorders that cause extreme emotion, but that still isn’t an excuse for basically bullying your kid. Does she have any conditions?

[Your Local Shadow Simp]

@The4thFemC I mean, she had shit parents that were hella mentally abusive, so I’m pretty sure she’s got like PTSD, a lil OCD, depression, and we’re pretty sure she has undiagnosed ADHD- And she’s a fucking insomniac, so she gets no damn sleep-

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0

I’m slowly getting better but i just

don’t like practicing

I don’t like taking it out, rasining the bow, playing cause im always nervous i’ll be heard when i mess up

I always feel safer with my teacher because she’s always nice and understanding and makes me motivated

There’s also an edge

i like playing for a while but once i’m done i’m done. If you still want me to play then i’m gonna be stressed

[Your Local Shadow Simp]

@Enzi no dude, that’s so real. I love my teachers, they’re so chill. And practice rooms with no one around are my best friend.

[A Former User]

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 Alright, I can get behind that. Has she ever had help or are you and yoir family trying to get her help?

[Your Local Shadow Simp]

@The4thFemC Haha fuck no- we’re broke as hell-

[A Former User]

@Wubbrle-the-Wubble Yeah, it could. If you’re constantly being told basically what you did wasnt enough and you got to change little things here and there, it kind of makes you feel like the goal posts keep changing. And you’ll never be enough, which who wouldnt make someoen sad?

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 or like when i go to suzuki camp (one week camp made from my books program creator for piano violin and viol)

i do piano cause i am NOT doing violin

its always so fun to practice with my friends, listen to her play, giggle together, and just have fun

but its different for everybody.

I like practicing alone for violin. then in group class i’m FORCED to play piano AND violin without me being comfortable. Then i get NERVOUS, MESS UP, then people clap even though i know they don’t like it.

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 I’m just hoping things’ll get better. I can do fuck all right now and that hope probably doesn’t mean anything, but that’s all I can do.

[Your Local Shadow Simp]

@The4thFemC Either way, I appreciate it, man. <3 /p

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 my mom asf)

[A Former User]

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 She doesn’t have the right to do shit that involves you but love you for who the hell you are. And if she’s gonna be entitled, She can do it somewhere else that doesn’t involve her child. Remember, Its YOUR Life, Not HERS Who the hell does she think she is, Trying to dictate what YOU Have to do? I know, She’s your mom but like, She doesn’t have to be included in EVERYTHING. Not everyone in this world is perfect. Or better. We’re all the same people. Living in shitholes. And dealing with assholes.

@Lenore_Offical_From_Nevermore

AND. Not to mention, Not everyone wants to be perfect to be loved. That’s not fucking fair Nor cool. That’s fucking like- Parents need to be more loving and Supportive. I swear.

Edit
If Nobody wants to do what YOU want, Don’t fucking force them. They wanna do what THEY wanna do. And You have to respect that.
