Recent thread discusses What Could Go Wrong? in our interaction with community. Luckily we’re not alone – in essence, an artist posting on InflateChan, a lady posting inflation video on Youtube, a morpher posting on DeviantArt, a writer posting on Dimensions are creative people. Your problems are problems of creative people, solutions to these problems are well known, tried and worked well before. So let’s discuss them ^_^

A few tips from Live, breathe, inflate
I use “she” for inflatee for the sake of being concise, not for exclusion of half a community
1. Inflate only those you like and how you like. If you’re not passionate about whom you inflate, you’ll turn inflation into boredom. And if inflation taking place is not your cup of tea and you force yourself to take part – you might end up sounding bitter, sarcastic and hateful to those involved, even if you don’t mean it. This makes inflation not fun, don’t do it
2. Don’t get obsessed with those you inflate. If you inflate someone out of obsession you won’t observe her comfort and she’ll pop. And if you make her uncomfortable and won’t pop her – she will hate 95% of community for the rest of her life. So – stay in comfort zone of your inflatee and don’t get obsessed
3. Be comfortable about what you do. If you feel somehow guilty for your inflation, then you'll feel you somehow deserve being popped by some creepy stalker while in fact you retain the right for protected private life and personal security, online and offline. More than half of successful cases are about online datings that went wrong and didn't stop when asked
4. Don’t try to be all things to all people. You can’t reach everyone everywhere no matter how big you are, and if you try you may wind up bursting into nothingness and reaching no one anywhere. Decide what you will and won’t do and guard yourself from people-pleasing tendencies
5. Pursue only inflatees you have resources to inflate. Passion for someone is a prerequisite, but you also need the wherewithal to finish what you start. Unfinished projects sap emotional energy, and it’s hard to be successful without a history of success. There’s nothing more guaranteed to burst you than trying to blow up a heliumtank
6. Take your limitations into account. Is your size adequate to the task? If not, keep working, grow your skills and stretch yourself. Besides, what you learn while creating for inflation community can be used elsewhere. Revisit abandoned inflatees when you feel you’re ready for a second take
7. Put real life first. A new opportunity is worth putting aside a few of your hobbies. Gaining responsibilites or issues is a good excuse to sort them out before continuing. Successful real life ensures you have time for inflation

I don't quite understand what you are getting at sometimes Lopni, but #4 just made me stop and choke up a bit. It's highly relevant to my life and rings true in a deep manner. It's one of the pieces of advice I have needed for a while.

Edit: sorry got distracted
Light side of inflation isn't daisies and butterflies we like, it's an inflation author 911 - what to do and how to fight if you experience burnout, personal attack or mess in life. I've broken all these rules in the past and it costed much in friends, time and money ^_^ There are people with far more experience here, I'd appreciate if they expand or add from their lives how they have returned back to the track
Shit, If we keep this up we'll have gray inflationists.
But obscure Star Wars jokes aside, If we're talking about a solition to the shitty people in our community, There isn't one, And there will never be one. You genuinely can't, Without us becoming some weird inflationary dictatorship.
Also if we talkin' about just y'know, good things in the community, that feels a little uneeded and also kinda circlejerky. Like, I already know what people like about this fetish/community, But I don't know what they dislike about it. It's exactly why the YouTube channel CinemaSins is so popular, It's more interesting to talk about the negative side of things. Imo anyway, I can't speak for everyone on here.
