the less and less and less i get noticed, the more this starts feeling like a job. the more i try to do, the more this starts to feel like a job. i try so hard to create decent music and the most i get is a couple of likes and one guy saying that it sounds cool. what the fuck do i do? and when i get someone refusing to help me in a situation just because im not good enough makes me feel even worse. i live under a fuckin rock in the middle of the woods, so the amount of time i get to make music without interruptions is very small. can't learn anything without anytime to learn it. im spending too much time on pointless school shit that i have no need for. im being forced to not work on my future career. so it would be nice if at least one of you could throw me a fucking bone and at least take a look at my music. pisses me off when i try hard and take time i could be using to make other people happy with my non-defiance, and try hard to make music that i like and enjoy, and get literally no credit for it. i get nothing for it. just wasted time. kind of hard to make music for people that aren't anybody.

oof uh
If I were you, and I wanted people to listen to my music, I would probably get involved in some sort of community and share it with others. Though, if it's starting to feel like a chore or a job, then why are you doing it? To me it sounds like you're making music for other people instead of yourself, and the way you word this makes you sound like kind of attention hog.
It looks like you've only liked and commented on a handful of tracks yourself.
Looking at a few of the tracks you've commented on you say among others "I like it", "how in the world do yall get this recognition?" and "i love how somehow i have another song with the same cover". Some things that are not even related to the music...
How is this any different from what you're expecting people to say about your music?
In this case it seems like you're not very active engaging with other people and giving them attention.
It happens to literally everyone at some point.
And if it feels like a job, take a break.
or look at it from a different perspective
i could do both
you do have a good point there
i don't know anymore to be honest. i really do love music, but all this other shit just kind of piles ontop.
i remember when i first used noise rises on soundtrap, ive definitely gotten a long way from where i started but there comes moments where i get stumped and yet here i am again.
Some people on here are toxic bro. You just have to enjoy making music and enjoy the music you make.
Maybe try remixing something you thought was cool and look at the way they program their stuff. Pay attention to automations lol.
practice. it should feel like a job. your job is to get better. you're always welcome to quit.
I mean there’s one way to look at it
be more active
