But if you are discouraged by this fact because it would require a whole lot of effort, then drop the idea that you&#8217;re going to have a music career and leave.<\/p>\n<p>A career in music is not a hobby. It is mostly fun but it definitely requires hard work- practices will be rigid, you&#8217;ll have to tweet and Facebook and all that.

Try to examine your personality and recall if someone has told you that you\u2019re cocky or too confident.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your friends and band mates for their honest opinion and work on improving your social skills.

You\u2019re just being REAL. You can\u2019t pretend like you\u2019re enjoying your band practice or gig or having fun talking to new acquaintances when deep down you are really pissed at something.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of attitude will not get you anywhere. Why would you keep your anger, frustration, or any negative emotion inside your system? You answer me \u201c It\u2019s not my choice. It just won\u2019t go away.\u201d Well, the truth is you have control over everything including your temper.<\/p>\n<p>There are techniques that can help you manage your negative emotions and manage the difficult band member.
