What task?
It means you are Depressed and strained.
trolled
it means you dread doing it.
what does it mean when u know how you feel but would like to have people assure that your thoughts are correct?
it means you are insecure.
task here refers to learning a new skill.
does it signify that i should drop the task or persist ?
an analogy is doing weight training. when you feel the strain, that means the training is taking effect. this is the time when you should persist.
however it is also possible that you are just not cut out for the skill. hence you should quit.
which is more likely ?
Do you have interest then, when interest comes motivation

If you're gonna do everything half way then you might as well kill yourself now, because you'll be living life half way anywayz.

i feel blocked every time i try to tackle the task. at first when i learnt it as a hobby, i did well. the work was good.
when i began to take it seriously, i got very blocked. grabbed with fear and suffered fm bouts of doubt in my ability to make it. worse is the teacher keep scare us how tough it will be, is critical and less than encouraging. i see my other classmates doing better than me. so i feel deflated and discouraged.

hmmm thanks for pointing out about the psychotic populatn in the profession.
you know, i didn't believe i could be an artist. or that i am cut out as one. now thinking back n seeing how frequently i slip into depression n talk abt passion n all that crap, i fit the bill.
it's a revelation.
It means it's time to go meet Hades.
