Anybody else have this problem?

I have this problem where I'm not able to complete a project whether it's art, or writing if I show the WIP to people. Some folks say it might be an ADHD problem with instant gratification from the WIP's praise spoiling the way for completing the final project. I have no idea. I just know that it sucks having to keep mum.

I just have problems completing stuff period, but that's because I'm super lazy.

YES. Happens to me all the time. I showed up a wip on twitter and had to force myself to finish it after TWO MONTHS of not touching it. Since then I don't show my wips to anyone. Otherwise I won't finish them.

I have that problem. For me, personally, it comes from a combination of bad (as in friendship-ending) experiences when I've let someone see a WIP and the pressure to update a WIP. The pressure from seeing so many people enjoy what I've done and are looking forward to more. I just.. crumble and run away. So now I at least finish a rough draft before I post anything publicly.

Yes! I have this exact thing too! If I show anyone or try and post it in parts it's as if literally all of my motivation and inspiration drains immediately away. I've been trying to work out why!

It doesn't have to be ADHD, the gratification from showing a WIP and getting praise for it can be detrimental for your motivation to completing it. It is a thing that can happen to anyone.
