The trick is to tell no one and still do nothing! You get to keep the friends and the anxiety!
That's exactly what I did the day I realized people didn't react anymore whenever I told them the new thing I wanted to do, they just knew I wouldn't do shit in the end.
Still try and do the thing. Just don't tell anyone until it's done!
I believe in your book idea/code project/game concept/movie script!
No, I really don't need another bunch of money spent for a half finished project that I'm never going to finish or hobby that I'll never return to. It sounds bad but it truly is better for me to give up and not try, at least it doesn't continue piling failures on top of me.
Notice how all of mine were things for which little money is spent in the process. Lol.
what kinds of half finished projects do you have laying around, and what kind of hobbies are you never returning to?
Except then I don't share anything with my friends and slowly lose them anyway because I'm boring.
You can also just shoot down your ideas as you speak them "but I would first need to clean that workspace, and that's impossible"
