Ill probably be away for a while
2 months ago
Im feeling really bad and been frustrated about basically everything. I know most people already forgot or dont give a shit about me but now youll get a chance to really not give a shit because im taking a break. Im sorry for not being active i really really wish i was a good artist and knew how to just keep drawing but i just dont. I wish i could connect with people and just have fun but thats just never been the case for me. Im too fucking inept at everything and am very conscious of it to good faith engage with other artists and not feel like an imposter. I just feel so lonely on social media and i greatly covet peoples ability to just regularly be creative and enjoy doing what theyre doing. I want that so bad but i cant have it. I just get to have lethargy and depression instead. So it makes me feel like shit being around people tbh. Im not asking to be good im just asking to be able to enjoy stuff again.
It's tough to get out Lethargy and even depression. Honestly taking a break is often needed. But do take care of yourself! Your body, and mind, need the rest!
I am struggling with it, others too, for irl reasons, inspiration is not enough, specific problems, etc.
The main thing is to do it when you feel right. I learned the hard way to not force stuff when you aren't enjoying things, because in the end, you will end up hating the result (This goes for both drawing... and meeting people online)
For social media, I know the struggle, I suck at socializing, most of the time if anything comes, is because of other people, not from me since I'm too shy to start things xdd
I'd say that taking a break is a really good thing to do, to keep not only your mental health in a good place, but to expand your mind, distract yourself, etc. Taking one step at a time, for people online, to comment on posts, reply, hang around on groups of people you know most of, but in a casual way. They might give you all the inspiration you need. But again, is complicated, easier said than done, as I even still struggle with these type of stuff, but you will be able to move forward and things will be better, given time.
For now, take all the time you need, deep breath, walks, distractions playing games, etc. Then things will be fall in place.
