Your project might not resonate or fail to spark others’ interest once complete. That is ok. You might be scared of that. But that could turn out ok. It may require a keen insight from someone else to see: well, if you slightly retarget this aspect- it would be very useful to group Z that you haven’t considered.

If you don’t feel like finishing maybe do something else for awhile. Like ask potential customers for feedback, or show trusted friends what you have so far. You may be missing social feedback that can help reinvigorate the purpose of finishing.

Don’t be too hard on yourself if it is a flop. See how it could be changed, or try finding customers before building next time so you are in constant feedback loop.

Some founders on YC are also open to providing feedback- it could be that you need validation or criticism from someone you respect.
