Is it normal to have so much self doubt?

Is it normal to always doubt yourself? No matter what I do, whether it's writing or drawing, I always feel like it's no good unless somebody else tells me it's good. I always doubt my decisions ans ideas in life and I always feel like I need approval and I feel like I can't like something that I created unless somebody else does. So tell me, please, is this normal?

    Having doubt in yourself is normal because I write stories and don't think it's good enough. I tell myself do it for fun and write want you want. You have to push youself to liking your work. Tell yourself I did good. If you don't like it you can always change it up. Don't beat yourself up, have confidence in yourself. You is good person and you can write and draw.

    being your own critic is something a lot of great writers and artists do. You will pay much more attention to detail than the average person but striving to be better is always good but learn to see what you did right and just work on the wrong. practice
