    As a “new” homestuck fan (I joined in 2022) and also as a teenager, I am going through the CURSE. It changed my life, as part of the vexation

    I agree with everything she is saying. As an artist I paralyse myself because I don't want to makeso called bad art, but once I get started just moving and concentrating all the negativity falls away. I get a lot of satisfaction from simply finishing a piece. The act of creating really is a blessing and a form of meditation that is underrated.

    Thank you for posting this video! Since I moved last July I've been in such an artblock/unable to create and everytime I try to get back into it, I just stall out and can't do anything. I managed to do a 30 day challenge but I was forcing myself and it would take hours just to do a simple thing. I feel like I wasn't letting myself just create and had such high expectations because I used to produce content several times a week. I know it'll take time to get back to that, but I shouldn't let that stop me from creating content that fills me with joy and passion. That constant desire to be perfect really has been holding me back from doing the one thing that has always filled me with happiness.

    Maybe it was art class that gave me this crippling perfectionism that is now preventing any and all ideas for paintings I have to take off. Been grinding them 5 mins pose studies with the specific intent to just ignore perfection for the past month and I am actually seeing some progress. Thanks for spreading awareness of the perfectionism problem.

    This video was really great : thank you so much! I've been creatively stuck for years now, to the point where I started trying out anything creative and ending up being completely overwhelmed because I "couldn't find my path". Now, I've been trying to work on facing my perfectionism by pushing myself to draw and open Unity at least, and that huge feeling of anguish and frustration is really hard to confront. The last sentence of your video did resonate with me, and it gives me some magical strength to keep on trying, by reducing the pressure as much as possible! To anyone who also feel that way ; we're together, we can do this 💪

    There IS a thing "never good enough". There is a thing where someone puts the hours and hours to become better, and only becoming marginally better because of problematic 3D perception or other brain differences. I know, because it happened to me. I started painting more seriously in 2020, like many others during lockdown. I've seen others amassing thousands of followers with their art reflecting that amazing progress, and while I became indeed better too, I got nowhere near their level. Even if I was working harder than most, about 10 hours of painting per day, almost every day. So I really dislike videos that tells the person that "you can be anything you want" or how to "become a full time artist". The reality is that for many people, they can't. You either have the right brain, where you can exercise it further to become even better, or you don't. And that's not something that only I say that goes against the grain of positivity around here. Stephen King says the same thing about writing. He says that you either have it, or you don't. If you don't, you can work hard to become better, but you will never, ever become great. You will just be passable.

    What if I feel that what I want to do doesn't have any value? I'm so fed ip to feel like this... I mean, i think it doesn't even is worth to try doing it... Like everything is done and everyone do it better than me. But at the end, i feel this is killing my creative vein which I used to feel I had. *sigh*

    Not perfectionism. Not learning from your mistakes is running your art. And i know cus i just keep making the same mistakes and i am to lazy to write down what they are and how to improve them.

    My generation's attention span is pathetically low. If only they're all self-aware just about enough, they'd realize it's actually the only enemy they have all this long. The truly unfortunate mammal allows himself to be succumbed from head to toe.

    "the only way to improve is to fail get up and keep trying" - The 36 year old artist who was watching me get mad about not been able to draw and eye in chalk, Its like learning a language expect not to be perfect and eventually you will be fluent not perfect but fluent. You will notice your mistakes more then anyone else you will be your own hardest critic.
