i also dont care to be liked
i believe people with people phobia and social anxiety needs to be full supported with money by goverment or whatever it is either because it is crippling mental disability

Not sure why I'm bothering since this thread is vaguely trollish, but anyway...

Unfortunately, people don't tend to donate/give money in any consistent manner unless you can offer them a service they desire. Online, that often takes the form of doing artwork commissions, livestreaming stuff people like to watch, etc. If you don't have such a skill, it doesn't matter how many people look at your fundraising pages--you're screwed. :stu

As well, you kind of HAVE to convince people to like you or they won't feel interested in donating. Whenever I see fundraisers and such for sick people around here, they succeed mostly because those sick people have large families and support networks that care about them and can get the word out...I highly doubt somebody unknown like myself would achieve a similar result if I were the sick person in need of funds. You have to get people to like you and you have to know how to network. Many people with social anxiety lack both of these skills.

And finally there is the fact of what is currently going on in the world. If you thought it was hard to get donations before, it's going to be SUPER hard to get donations now. Everyone is too preoccupied trying to survive.

i believe people with people phobia and social anxiety needs to be full supported with money by goverment or whatever it is either because it is crippling mental disability
That can happen...if you apply for it and then hire a lawyer to help you out with your appeal after your claim is initially rejected. The government isn't going to just throw money your way because you believe you need it--you have to prove it.

Take this or leave it, I'm out.

I think that unless you get incredibly lucky and a celebrity comes along, these kinds of donation pages only draw friends, family and work colleagues to support. I think a better strategy is to either find a charity/non-profit that specifically supports people with your condition, or to earn some money doing a job remotely (in current situation) to raise it x

Gofundme campaigns that go viral tend to follow a template similar to Chauncy's Chance: A relatively well-off person stumbles upon a downtrodden but deserving "other" and shares his or her story; good-hearted strangers are moved to donate a few dollars, and thus, in the relentlessly optimistic language of GoFundMe, "transform a life." The call-and-response between the have-nots and the haves poignantly testifies to the holes in our safety net-and to the ways people have jerry-rigged community to fill them. In an era when membership in churches, labor unions, and other civic organizations has flatlined, GoFundMe offers a way to help and be helped by your figurative neighbor.
And remember - it's not a lie if you believe it.

Even though you haven't asked for people from here to donate to you, I want to remind you that asking for donations on here would be breaking the forum rules. I'm not sure what you meant by this:

omgggg please nopeeeee > < ;
Then we're not (or at least I'll speak for myself) understanding what you are asking for the context in your question. You say you can't work (no judgement), that nobody in your circle wants to help, and assume that people will generally not help (despite there being some posts made indicating such, but it doesn't represent everyone.) Some advise setting up a page but it seemed to have went ignored. So what are you exactly asking from us, on this specific forum?
i already have page? i dont understand exactly how to get traffic (people) to it ? i bet everyone else who have donation page would be interested in tehniques about it either

somebody suggested to post my link to reddit /r/gofundme but wth it got suspended imediatelly? wtf im doing wrong and wth else is possible to promote gofundme??? i dont understand how does it even work at all if its forbidden to post it everywhere??? all i see is people getting thousands of money in there


i will remind that i have other disease in brains as well not only people phobia but i believe people with people phobia should ask for donations as well and this thread is for everyone who cares about stuff like gofundme, fundrazr

OK. This thread has run it's course. People here have given you everything they've got (obviously). If that isn't enough, you are not likely to get more here by continuing to bump this thread (and please don't create more about this same topic).

This is a social anxiety forum. The people here do not have any magic tricks for getting people to give you money. Go to Google and search "How do I use Gofundme?"

If that doesn't help, I don't know what else to tell you but (IMO) this kind of thread is too close to advertising and self-promotion. This is my opinion of it. The moderators have to make the call and I'm making the call right now.

I'm sorry. We gave you more leeway than we had to.

Thread closed.
