Maybe writing all that crap out got it out of my system somehow, because today I feel normal. I am more inclined to think that me feeling allright is actually because I stopped relating my self worth to the amount of art I make. It is not necessarily a bad thing to relate ones worth to how productive one is(it does motivate you quite a bit), but after experiencing the downside multiple times, I am more inclined to not do that anymore.
Adam - Well usually its when Im riding a bike and someone just gets infront of me or when theres a person occupying a spot I sketch at. None of those things are bad and the people arent doing anything wrong. I was in a real slump yesterday and couldnt help myself from being bitter. Thanks for the good advice.
Walent - I am very grateful for your lengthy reply. I quess I gotta ask myself more questions and try out more stuff aswell. And I will admit the last couple of days I did get overwhelmed since I tried to do everything at once for a piece and that had a part in me losing my way. The odd part was that I knew that I should start with something easy or something I really like to get me in the zone, but a part of me wanted to just go to the hard stuff and push through, instead it burned me out. Well heres hoping that failures like this serve to make me respect the ways that work more in the future and not be overconfident in pushing myself too far.
As for seeking approval I do have the knowledge, yet at times I struggle with it. I quess I gotta form a habit to not seek approval and the next month without internet will help with that.
It was good to hear your story :)
