i had to leave a music related server because i felt invalidated and stupid. i didn't learn the chords for my ukulele yet and i've been playing completely freelanced. i was receiving validation from my family member who knows how to play it and his chords as well, and then when i join the server and explain to them my issue i'm being talked down to and feel like as if i am stupid. i don't want to give those people any feeling as if "i won, i made the "smaller" person" leave the group chat" but i left because i feel like learning these chords is a bit overwhelming for me due to my mental health.
i guess my mental health might be truly in the dumps if i can't even play a simple ukulele song. i feel ashamed that i even started to gain a interest in music if i can't even explain myself or my thoughts. the person that told me to keep making music invalidated me when i viewed someone being racist towards me. my mother would probably say this would all be avoided if i stopped joining group chats, and i know that goes for a more simpler life but sometimes i rather commit suicide than feel so lonely at times.
i feel silly for even asking for help. i'm not trying to be dramatic, but my musical dreams wasn't supported as much as my male family members. when i was around 2-3 years old i was trying to play the spongebob theme song and a few other songs on the piano my great grandmother had. i was learning, although i forgot where i had learnt everything. my parents didn't care about excelling my knowledge anywhere at all. when i discovered my parents had piano learning books that they only brought for my brother to use, and they hid it for years, i felt invalidated and frustrated. they could've easily passed this knowledge to me, despite the destructive illustrations my brother made in it.
i think i have a certain amount of validity belief when it comes to interacting with people online. if they're self destructive to an extent, i don't really care what they think of me. if they're healthy and kind, then that hurts.
then again, there were other red flags:
- the first thing that came out of a criticizer's mouth is that my music made their head hurt.
- it's "wild" i didn't learn the foundations of a instrument i literally just received less than a month ago.
- the annoying emphasis of how much of a good person they are that they learnt their tabs and chords before their ukulele came in the mail.
- don't bother asking us for help if you're going to come to a conclusion yourself.
