Seeming to think why I'm bothering with Flickr and I am thinking that no-one really cares what I do and feel like no-one is following me, even though I do have a decent amount of followers and get a good amount of favourites on most photos.

I have no idea why I am feeling like this right now, earlier this afternoon I was thinking that I have a good number of followers and people who view my Flickr but every so often I just seem to think that I have very few followers when that is not the case, think it could be a case of jealousy as all day I've been seeing Marcus' photo which made it onto Explore popping up on my activity page and I am thinking it is good that he got a photo on there but at the same time I am thinking "why can't I get a photo on Explore, all the effort I put into my Flickr and I feel like I am getting nowhere and I am wasting my time" I don't know why I am thinking this and I am hating myself for thinking this.

Think this could possibly stem back to when I was in school as I wasn't that popular so no-one payed that much attention to me and then when I did things at school such as sporting events everyone else would get praise and it was like I wasn't even there and it just made my existence feel pointless and wondered why I even bothered trying to do anything, even people who did things worse than me would get showered with praise and I would just be sat feeling neglected, seriously I often felt like I was invisible to everyone at school.

I am zero idea why I sometimes get like this and it makes me hate myself for thinking this.

Sorry if am boring you all with my crazy down feelings or you disagree with what I said and please don't think I am up my arse for wanting more people to view my Flickr and wanting a photo on Explore.

Honestly I am grateful for all the followers I have on Flickr and that people view it.

(22 Mar 2015, 8:21 pm)aureolin wrote I quite enjoy looking at your photos, Jimmi. I wouldn't be following you otherwise.  A lot of people get loads of faves/comments, simply because they're following hundreds or thousands of people, who in turn follow back. 

Not entirely sure of the criteria to get on Explore, but I think I managed it once with a photo of 5347. Complete randomness, but ended up with 18k views and 86 faves from randoms. 

Just keep doing what you do. Get yourself out there and try different places for photos. If you're stuck for ideas, then I'm sure other members of NEB will come up with some suggestions for you? A few of us in the past have spoken of using Google Maps to find places on routes for shots, and www.suncalc.net (that Dan suggested once) also comes in handy for working out the best time to be somewhere. 

The other alternative is to catch up with others from NEB when you're out and about? I know you live a lot further south than others, so it may help you heading out with someone who knows places, in say Tyneside for example, a lot better than you maybe do?

(22 Mar 2015, 8:37 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote I agree with the above comments, Jimmi. I like the variety of photos you bring to the community, a lot of independents in your area that normally don't really get much attention on Flickr, as well as a lot of the mainstream stuff.

I'm really pleased I got a photo on Explore, but I feel it should really go to somebody who dedicates lots of time to photography (such as yourself) as I'm just a ''take a few photos that may be worthy of uploading'' sort of person. Whereas you take photos on a daily basis, obviously having to fit it around other things, and you travel to various parts of the region to take photos of lots of different things, which I must say, is a commendable effort from my point of view.

I'm sure one day you'll get a photo on Explore. I honestly don't know what is so special about my photo of 6063, no better than photos taken by the likes of Dan, aureolin, yourself, yet it's somehow been selected.

Thanks for wasting my time again Stanley Travel.

(23 Mar 2015, 1:37 pm)Jimmi wrote Not having the best of luck on this outing.

No Solo SR's on the 40/40A, Missed Stagecarriage services in Boro due to late running? And my shot of 7485 on the 64A didn't catch the LED.

Did get a photo of some pandas though, find out more about that on my Flickr tonight.

And, to make things better, at the end of the day I found out the girl I like has got a boyfriend at some point today!!

Anyone who tells me to move on - don't bother.
