Ask HN: What makes you push through when “no one cares”?
I've been on the founder journey for nearly 2 years now, and I think I was widely unprepared to being the "underdog".
I've progressively built muscle around that, with a few mental frameworks and I was wondering what you did?

I guess it's different for each person. We keep sharing "tactics" but I think at an early stage, "managing one's emotions" is 80% of the game.

To my mind, you either have a compulsion, a preexisting urge that allows you to be indifferent to outside influence, or else you seek out a pursuit that people do care about. Coming to appreciate the deeper logic behind a reflexive behavior is an important part of being able to see the impulse through despite the indifference of others.
