I found this page soley because I was hating myself right now for being artistic. all my life i've been artistic, and i was always told to KEEP being artistic, that I was good at it. But now I'm a failure as an adult. being an artist is not secure. Not only is the artist market saturated with so many artist that no one even stands out, being employed as an artist (working on someone else's project) even feels like a waste of creativity. Like a noose around your creativity that slowly chokes it out.
It just feels like a no-win situation and I wish that I wasn't an artist so that my brain would be happy doing other things that bring more security and pay off and make you feel like you're work is actually worth something.
Is it normal to hate being creative?
