I give up.
a week ago
I think it's time for me to quit trying to do art all together.
Every time I go even to *think* about doing art, I immediately get filled with negative thoughts about myself and lack of quality. The few pieces of art I do end up releasing don't look appealing, either.
In a sea of much more skilled, experienced, and/or even just gifted artists, I am just an embarassment at best. I hadn't been able to pick up my tablet in over a month now, at least because of it.
I'm sorry to everybody. I know I keep crying wolf, but this is seriously it. I quit.

I am extremely niche at best, and even then, the stuff I do doesn't look great, so I struggle to even see the reason to keep trying.
I've been suffering like this for a long time now, and it only got worse with time.
from what i have seen for the past year or so of me watching your accounts, i don't think you can really be sure that you're never going to return to doing visual art rather than just taking a break and coming back to it later like you did so many times before
i'm really sorry but i think we'd be more concerned about you if you took a break only to never come back than if you told us you were quitting for-good-like only to come back again (even though i will still welcome you when you do so)
