I don't know when it started, but I have this big fear that someone will/could steal an idea of mine and get very successful (rich, famous) and get all the credit, while if I had tried to make a claim that it was mine, or I finish my version of it (which would've been the first) then the world would call me a "copy cat". I'll explain more.
I want to be an author. I have a few book ideas in mind and I've had them for years now. It's my fault I hadn't put the work in to make them a reality. This one book idea I have is something that I think to be brand new and may not have been done before. I think it's a great idea and im nervous to write it without potentially giving it a great execution to match. But here recently, someone published an Idea, not a book, it's actually a youtube series and it kinda took the internet by storm. Their idea was not far off from mine. ( it resembled it a bit actually) As I sit here, im sweating and feel sick, my stomach feels like a rock that they got even that close to my original idea. Which makes me even more worried that I may have had something (idea, or whatever) stolen from me and i was robbed of all the credit in a past life, but i don't know, and have no way of knowing without past life meditation.
Imagine if you came out with "the call of cathulu" but hp.lovecraft stole it from you, published it, and it was so good that the world named that type of horror (which you created) after the one that stole it from you, and you'll never get recognized.
would you think this would be something related to a past life of mine?
