The thread for flipping shits (and tables)

Drawing is making me feel really shitty, because I keep getting annoyed that I can't draw that well. Yeah, practice makes perfect, you have to suck before you get kinda good, on a logical level I get all that. But then my emotions are just like "wow this is terrible, you should just give up and stick to what you're good at you fuckwad."

I enjoy drawing, too; I've just reached a pretty frustrating juncture, i.e. "the part where you're good enough for the Dunning-Kruger effect to be all but gone, but nowhere near actually good." Being mediocre feels a lot worse than being awful because it feels like I should have fucking mastered the craft (even though I'm not a complete moron and understand that shit takes lots of time and practice). And the worst part is that I am getting better; it's just that better than something I already feel bad about doesn't feel like much.

tl;dr feelings are making self-improvement hard and gah.
