Just a wild guess, because I've been in a very similar situation more than once. Did you think the other two guys were better than you? Is that why you were reluctant to play? Is that the real reason you left without playing? Is that why you thought the other two wouldn't enjoy your set, might even walk out on you during your set? Insecurity and jealousy...I've been there.

No, I argue with the people who have an urgent need to criticize and put down anyone who complains about people, for whatever reason. This is called blaming the victim.
Your complaints about those musicians are baseless, empty, and without merit. You didn't really feel like playing to an empty room, but wanted to blame someone else for it. You are NOT a victim. You didn't even try.
[quote=Good4Nothin;51471075Musicians I know complain about this kind of thing all the time. If I had complained to a live person instead of here, NO ONE would have told me to go get drugged.[/quote]
Ok, now you are trippin! Please copy, and paste the post where it tells you "to go get drugged". I want to see it. I'm sorry if I missed a post with that in it. I took what I read to be a suggestion that you should consider talking to a psychiatrist . Not get drugged by one, just tell them what you've told us.

Well you don't have enough knowledge about psychotherapy. You would not go to a psychiatrist unless you needed a prescription. Otherwise, if you just had normal problems you wanted help with, you would see a psychologist, or social worker, or something like that. A psychiatrist would be for serious mental illness, which now days is, unfortunately, mostly treated with drugs.

No, absolutely not at all. I was not feeling insecure or jealous AT ALL. I have a lot of experience with performing music, especially since I retired a couple of years ago. I don't feel inferior to these guys at all. I actually expected they would like my songs because most people who heard them so far did like them. I was disappointed that I didn't get a chance to find out.

What you experience here is multiple people trying to show you something about yourself that you don't want to acknowledge. You can deflect and attack us by calling us names all you want, or else you could consider just for a moment that you may not be correct.

You know, Birdie, at the beginning I got some helpful and understanding comments. I was not diagnosed, and some of them had similar experiences.
Even your comment at the beginning was sort of nice.
But things escalate, and certain people get caught up in it. Trying so hard to feel like you have life figured out, and the poor sucker you are diagnosing doesn't know up from down.
