you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life
#psa: don't degrade your own work just because you're dissatisfied with it or worried other people will see the mistakes#project the confidence and the skill you're longing for will come i promise#not art#it's another one of my pet peeves online and something i had to learn myself#self-degradation is not the key to being a good artist online#it'll do more harm than good in fact
