As someone who’s been tabling for an org I’m in I find it hard to not get discouraged by apathetic libs and chuds who I talk to. Just today I had some old guy to tell me to move to Russia or Cuba and call me a communist piece of shit. It’s probably due to already having anxiety and other issues, but stuff like that can get demoralizing. So how to y’all push through that?

What org are you with? I think being in a good organization creates its own motivation.

I’m in PSL, though full time work makes me less involved as I’d want. I’m glad I at least have comrades who understand the struggle.

Glad to talk to a PSL comrade

What are you tabling for? Is there other work you could be involved in with the branch?
