art insecurity clubhouse

The point was very vague and meandering tbh

The connections part wasn't really meant to be comforting? Its an unfortunate part of most industries and especially transparent in art, but i guess i was just trying to poke at why you dislike some of these successful artists and i guess explain why they got where they are? There's a combination of factors (also including luck) that determine how you get to where you are, and beating yourself up over not hitting that perfect storm of conditions/resenting others isn't much fun.

I mean i don't know what to tell you except to try not avoiding people so hard? It's going to hamstring you so hard here and its virtually impossible to avoid someone so thoroughly that they're totally erased from your life, especially on the internet which for all it's size is pretty small

Sometimes you've just got to say welp, i don't like this person and ignore them for the other shining stars they're standing next to
