Sort of a vent-art, i apologize for this but i wasn't feeling okay, had another stressful episode of "worrying to much about myself"
But after making "Bizarro Jimmy" back in Inktober 2018 i felt like giving him the role of my own insecurities, constantly reminding me and telling me how miserable i am and therefore making me more isolated and pretty much a worry-wart.
Whenever some little shortcoming happens to me, this will make it look like i committed a crime.
Whenever i'm hanging out with somebody, he'll keep telling me how much of a burden i am for others.
Whenever i am making something, this will always find it awful and tell me i am not worthy for this job.
And when i'm around my friends, he will remind that someday and sometime in the future, they will dump me and replace me with a better person.
(Which can also apply to the old artist buddies we used to watch each other but then they stopped following me for reasons that i don't have to know since it's not my own business after all...)

This is too real for me. I feel that same pain you're feeling every day seems like, and only by reminding myself that I'm a good person, and how I can make my part of the world a better place and take control of me do I sometimes feel better. I hope things get better for you too.
I think we all feel like that sometimes. And it's hard to get away from that. Sometimes we all feel like a certain famous Horseman, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGalix-sVXs
May seem odd hearing some rando from the net but don't let doubt have room in your heart. Have faith in your own decisions and in those around you, friends help each other when things are tough and we all carry our own burdens. Yet we make each other's burdens lighter by carrying them together, 'you' are not a burden to anyone. How many people's day do you brighten with your art, your humor, and good nature? I'm guessing more than you think. No one is perfect, no one can do everything, and we all make mistakes so don't beat yourself up about it. Give yourself permission to be happy, feed your faith and your fears will starve. Even if you're not religious, simply having faith in yourself is a powerful thing. You don't have anyone to measure up to, just be the best version of you that you can be. If you feel something needs improving about yourself then make the decision and work to change it and have the courage to accept the things you can't change. You are you and you don't need to be anyone else, learn to love yourself. Which I know is easier said than done. Anyway, I know it's been a while since this post but I hope you're feeling better. Sorry for posting so much, just browsing through a lot of fun art and trying to improve my own by trying to understand how to draw better while I practice.
