Every artist that tries to fix their self-esteem gives up in the end.

Steven Zapata, for all his sucking off of the Buddha and Christ and mindfulness bullshit, still blushes and admits he needs therapy to stay sane, and that it even that doesn't work.

Daniel Warren, depressed, self hating, permanently ingrained behavioral pattern that cannot be broken.

Ethan Begtard, depressed and anxious.

Ahmed Aldoori did a Jordan Peterson Grindset arc and gained nothing.

I could go on but I don't want to sound like I'm just name dropping. Virtually every artist, of nearly every skill level, is depressed, anxious and insane in a variety of ways.

Drawing is a compulsive and pathological activity. You are meant to be be unhappy, you must deepen your pathos and have sex with your demons. It provides the fuel needed to operate at peak.

David Bowie put it best: art is made by the disquieted.
If your mind is silent, you have no art in you. A silent mind is a healthy mind. Denigrate yourself more, you filthy faggot.';

Based af and sounds cool. I actually like to keep a bit of mental suffering in my soul that I don't ever wanna let go of, because contrary to Zen hippie talk, the bad has its place. Furthermore, I actually feel "good" somewhat when I feel the bad emotions. Anger, resentment, even sorrow has a delicious sort of taste to it. Sounds weird, but there's no way I'm the first person to feel this way, so I'd like to hear you guys' input. And yes I'm a male, not some crazy BPD roastie.

Sadly weed suppresses my moodier impulses so I can't indulge in that too much either or I lose my edge. But there's an edge from the bit of anguish, and I've grown to hold it dear is the point I'm making.';

Not everyone is born garbage, only a small minority is gifted by the genes.

The training meme only works if you start already not only with good stats but also if your genetic ceiling allows it.
Say a pokemon with neutral IV would be still trash even if EV trained to the max compared with already good IV stats but without too much EV or none.
EV is for effort values (the practice makes perfect meme) vs the IV which would be Individual Values (jeans).
A perfect analogy that you don't need to be a obscure poke info nerd to grasp that efforts only award the naturally gifted.

Dave Rapoza seems to have escaped the trap, but I think it's because he cultivated a lot more interests in life than just art. He started a family, focuses on his kids, has an enriching social life, has numerous other hobbies, and has generally just thrown himself into the world whole heartedly. But who knows, maybe he's also doped up on SSRIs and secretly crying to a therapist every week. Wouldn't be surprised if he's self medicating on something semi-regularly. Shrooms, weed, acid, whatever.
I think there is something to be said for the idea that adversity aids in creativity and historically artists, musicians etc have been mentally unstable. The stereotype is based on observable behavior, everyone knows the industry is filled with unhinged people. Art schools are basically just asylums for compromised people with arrested development.
There have been several studies that would at least suggest that depression and mental illness have a direct link to creativity. The drive to persevere is inherently rooted in neuroticism. Neuroticism is like a double edged sword in that it's a huge boon to creatives, but if the creative urge isn't satiated, it turns back against the person and devours them alive. It's neuroticism that's largely believed to be the basis of the "demon" analogy for creatives, I.E it's the part of the equation that philosophers and psychologists regard as "the artist's curse." You need it to keep going, but if you turn your back on it, it will fucking kill you, so it ends up helping as much as it hinders. Depressed artists don't tend to make anything, and the no-draws and crabs on this board are just further proof of that.
Maybe the problem is that the "demon" expects too much of the artist. With the way culture is configured, the average artist will never be able to meet their demon's needs, and so all of us are doomed to at least some form of self-destruction in our lives.';

This means
>being good at something
>doing what it takes to be good

It's not a generalized lack of self-worth to want to be good at something. The only people who are content at being shit at everything are people who literally have too much self esteem and don't care about anybody but themselves.

I make art because I love people and I want them to be happy. I love art and want to pass on my experience of beauty and profundity, and to do that, I have to make myself worthy of my own ideas. If that means I have to suffer anxiety over not being good enough, so be it. I'll die for my creations because my experience of other people's creations are literally the only thing that keeps me going, and I want to stand in their company, to feel like I have given back what I was given, to HONOR art.

Self esteem bros are the dumbest fuckers in the art world. Die for your art or die for nothing.';
