I think of myself as a writer but am deathly afraid of telling anyone because they'll want to see my work and only two things can happen from that point:
>"wow anon this really weird, maybe you should go talk to someone about this..."
or
>"uhh, that's it? its all just notes and ideas, I wouldn't really call this writing..."

>I think I’m a writer but…
Then why care what anyone fucking thinks? You either are a writer or a poseur. Just WRITE. Who cares about the consequences?

I agree, just do it. Even if nobody likes your work, it's for you. If your writing 'to become popular' just turn around and leave.
>Be kiddo me,
>Have extremely religious parents
>Get caught writing and given shit for writing both the hero and villain dialogues. Parents read both.
>DO YOU ACUTALLY BELLIVE THIS ANNON?!?
(its some edgy goth shit like 'humanity is worthless! Muahahaha')
>Get grounded and my work gets destroyed
>Decide to do it anyways and get better at writing, and up getting pretty good and win a few school competitions.
OMG were so proud of u Anon!
> Fucking hypocrites.

You are more concerned with fitting in with your peers than actual literary success. You are ngmi if you do not change your mindset.

Tell them you can't show it until it's published and if you like promise to send them a copy.

If anyone wants to "see my work" I'll cock slap them with it immediately. I don't give a shit. Even if they dislike it it is of no concern of mine what some artless street urchin thinks of my genius vision.
