Is it supposed to be lonely here?

[Anonymous No.6408113]

Ever since taking up the creative arts I just can't enjoy things anymore. I've become that buzzkill everyone I know probably hates. I used to eat up every new movie or game that came out, share that cool fotm anime girl pinup on social media, but I barely spend time on those things anymore because I'd rather study or create my own things. I just can't help but look at everything under a critical eye now.

Is becoming a hypercritical twat an unavoidable symptom from learning the arts?

looking at everything with a critical eye is not the problem, being an annoying faggot is also most modern movies are utter dogshit so your criticism is probably correct and even tame, just dont bother people when they are at least trying to enjoy something, if you cant stfu you shouldnt watch movies with other people or prewatch them sou you know beforehand how underwhelming they are

it gets lonely if you obsess over negatives instead of positives but that said, yeah. keeping art in balance often is difficult because it does eat up a lot of time.
at one point i had to straight-up accept that i will never get as far as my buddies in FFXIV's endgame and if i do, it'll only be one class at a later time than everyone else simply because i can't just waste 6 hours a day.
i won't have all the cool stuff, emotes, glams, etc. i won't have a solid list of all level 90 jobs/classes.

but that's ok because i doodle stuff for friends to show thanks for carrying me through content

Absolutely not, that has more to do with insecurity than anything else.

That's right being an artist isnt for everyone

What you described here happened to plenty of people, including other fields outside of art.

You're a creator now, not only a coomsoomer.

I have just learned to embrace it. You should too, you will stop caring about what other think.

Meanwhile a 14 years old Japanese girl draws 50 pages from scratch a week, plus storyboard under heavy pressure and despite it all still loves it
