art insecurity clubhouse

tbpf it sounds like most of your issues don't come from art or art insecurity or the art community so much as broader problems in your life.

I think this about sums it all up.

I'm sure you've heard art is a reflection of oneself or a way for the artist to express themselves, and yeah it is true and all but i feel like what's really important to realize is that one's perception of what creating good art is changes radically when you don't hate yourself or your life. It's not the actual piece of whatever craft you create, is the fact that you're able to do it, loving your own work is something very intimate and spiritual.

Shitty emotions will always suck everything good surrounding your life, it fucking sucks, but until you're able to sort some of your daily life issues you won't be able to really appreciate your art for what it is, no matter how much someone tells you how cute and round and expressive it is.

Btw I'm not blaming you for not accepting compliments, i understand your situation and i hope you're able to make it better even if it's just a little bit
