Hating everything you make: Just a vent
2 years ago
Literally what the title is. It's a vent. Feel free to ignore this, I'll be fine by tomorrow or something.
It's tough, you know. It's difficult to even put this feeling into the proper words, but it feels awful. You're working on something, and you've put hours on it and it just looks awful, hot garbage, downright mental torture to even look at. You can't even put into words WHAT about it is bothering you, but there's just something about whatever you're drawing/modelling/etc that makes you frustrated to even look at it.
It's me lately. There's always something bothering me, always something that I hate about it. And that, combined with the feeling of looking at something and going "well, you wasted your time on this that could've been better spent doing something better" doesn't make it easier. Everyone around you improves 10x faster, everyone around you learns things 10x faster, meanwhile you feel like you've finally hit your max and that you're not getting any better after years. Then you start second guessing yourself and wandering if, somewhere along the way, you didn't end up picking the wrong path and that maybe you're not suited for this. The idea to just quit and go pick a job that you hate like every normal human being.
That's it, that's the post. You may proceed with your daily lives, I just needed to vent some pressure before the volcano exploded.
