I know how that feels. Yet I haven't found a way to make myself go one way or the other.

Feelin the same way.

I know how that is all too well.

I've been there sweety *hugs tight* just hang tight <3

I always find "vent art" as pretty amazing, it usually expresses a lot of emotion that we have all felt at one time or another. Sometimes it's even done without any words and you can still gather everything they were feeling at that given time.

I know the feeling all too well... >w<

*hugs hugs*

But if I may: Why SHOULD you change?

Just to please the masses?

Just to 'fit in'?

You are who you are, and what you are, is a very great artist who should just be...well, herself :3

My 2 cents !

I have seen a lot of people going through these thoughts a lot recently, myself included. I think vent art is a good way of kinda getting those pent up feelings inside, out. so yay I guess :)

Art is amazingly done and clearly shows emotion, i love it

*nods* I have been dealing with these things myself, as well as the reasons why I should change.

Very thought-provoking piece.

I know the feeling well.

I know I'm just a random fur but if you need an ear or a shoulder I might be able to help

Sometimes those are the thoughts that go through my head.

I think a lot of artist feel this way from time to time. But you know, if not for self doubt then some may never have self motivation to be better. :)

This actually has nothing to do with art.

You don't know me, but I'm a fan of your work. Like you said in the comments, it's good to face these things head on so that you can grow from it. That being said, if you ever find yourself in need of someplace to vent, my door is always open. I know it doesn't make much sense to confide in a stranger, but that's part of the reason I'm sending this. There's no pre-established face that you have to save, and if what you don't like I have to say, then so much the better, right?
Just an offer from a fan.

Believe me, I feel like that all the time.

*hugs* This piece is crushing :S Its a beautiful mix of your adorable art style and the mix of raw emotions.

No matter what the change is, I've always found that airing my feelings about it really helps no matter how sure I am, personally speaking, a good friend of mine actually reminded me that change isn't always permanent and any changes we make as people never have to be. I hope whatever is on your mind works out alright

Sounds like you are dealing with something similar to what I am dealing with. For real, I've struggled with the same kinds of thoughts for a long time. I think I'm about to be diagnosed with anxiety. You may want to talk with someone professional. Those thoughts are not healthy.

I have to be honest, I don't think it's really that great an idea to assume so much from an image. You don't know me or what the situation can be. I don't know, it's difficult to explain but it's really uncomfortable for someone to comment on my mental health just because of an image. And I'm sorry, but your assumptions are wrong.

I do appreciate the thought behind what you said.

Fair enough. I'm glad you understand the thought behind my comment.

Emotion work is cool, post!

Draygone: "I'd say that I know how you feel, but it'll look like I'm bandwagoning so instead I'm gonna say nothing.

...Oh, wait."

Facing yourself is probably the hardest thing you can ever do.

Accepting yourself, especially once you find there are things about yourself you hate, is a very daunting (if not impossible) task and is something I too struggle with every day of my life.

I want to say "It'll be alright" or "You're not as bad as you say" but that would be preaching to the choir as I also can't see myself in a positive light.

Just hang in there. Maybe in time, we can change to see ourselves in a better light.

A very great piece of art.

*hugs*

I know how it feels. Sometimes, we might be resistant to change. We might chose to ignore our faults due to being used to a certain way.

Sometimes, change is necessary and we will need to accept that.

Art can be cathartic. Thank you for sharing this.

This is me of my favorite subject genres in art: emotional art.

I truly love it.

Everyone forgets who they are at some point or another. It's part of being human. We just need to find ways to remind ourselves.

Humanity is losing hope. WHERE ARE THE STORY-TELLERS WHEN YOU NEED'EM SO MUCH !?

This piece is so expressive and excellent. You're very talented. Conveying emotion is very challenging.

The feelings... I know them all too well.

I really recommend checking out www.freedomainradio.com
One of the topics Stef covers is self-knowledge and therapeutic healing.

A great example of something he's taught me is to trust what my emotions say. If something happens, instead of making yourself feel something, you ask yourself "How do I feel about that?" and trust what comes back.
Most people have elements of their minds that represent family and society, like virtual emulations, which recreate the intent of the people in your life. Tis important to recognize these and where they come from.

I appreciate the help, but I'm not the type that benefits, or needs, such things, since everyone works differently. When this image was done, it wasn't deep like that. It was a simple "This is a bad trait and I need to change it".

I unno...it sounds a lot like these "bad traits" are the voices of inner alters rather than your genuine belief.
They are based on a fear of other people, rather than being true to yourself.

These things are dangerous to keep unstudied. All I suggest is that it might help. Feel free to ignore all the other topics like libertarianism, anarchism, economics, etc. It couldn't hurt to try learning a few things.



(sorry if that came off as a bit abrasive; I really am hoping to lead you to something that really would help you make sense of these things).

Sorry, but no. I know you mean this in the best way, but a random picture on the internet really isn't the best way to act like you might know the under lying issue, because the reason why this was done wasn't explained, there's no way to know. I know myself more then a stranger would.

People aren't perfect, and you never can be but change can be a great thing if you want it to be changed. Maybe one day you realize you're really rude to people who aren't your friends, you don't mean to be, you just act that way and strive to be nicer overall, which leads you to be happier in life. The actual situation of why this image was done is personal, but that's pretty much what it is, I was acting in a way I disliked and needed to change that. It's not some deep rooted fear I need to explore. It doesn't even bother me anymore.

:shrug: If you say so.
