The best thing that can happen to an artist is when they get so lost in their work that nothing else exists for a while. For a while theres no internal judments, no expectation, no cravings, just action
@mrcrobart
I agree, you have to kill the ego or put it aside before it consumes you. But it does not mean you should not have fun when you're creating.. The best thing is to create what you want to see, listen or consume and let go the anxiety of " oh my god I hope people will like it" . Just create, and let go :) By the way, great video ! I love it ^^

It's really weird that in order to become more creative and create more cool things, you have to detach from the labels that you put on yourself. I see it as you can let yourself shine (creatively) in anything you do by putting on a mask of the label, but not let it limit what you can actually do. Basically just using ideas you identify with as more of an add on rather than your actual identity.

God... This was a much needed reality check. Especially since I'm about to turn 30 and my creative work is popping off like never before in my life. The best thing you can do for yourself is to prevent your head from going up your ass to begin with, to avoid the pain of needing it surgically removed many years down the line.
@RomanMaksimenka
ive never considered myself as a creative person, and it has both minuses and pluses. i was great in a lot of things, but i wasnt unique, just there were a lot of people who were the same or even better than me, so the best is to be 50 percent creative and 50 realistic
@mazapandust
this is incredible! i've always felt this but never was able to put it to words. the more people call me "creative" the more pressure i feel to live up to that, and it's impossible to do so. thanks for making this video, definitely validating to hear this isn't just a "me" thing
@tocide
Glad this stupid algorithm is still showing us these hidden gems of smart creators instead of brainrot and a.i slops. These are valuable to society people and alot take it for granted
@ned-eye
It's like this quote from Dwayne Jhonson: "Check your ego at the door. The ego can be a great success inhibitor. It can kill opportunities, and it can kill success." for me it's a balance sometimes your Ego will be the fuel you need to push forward when things sucks but sometimes too much will likely destroy you or your relationships.
@silvertiger684
as a self taught artist i take pride in my accomplishments, my ego is very high no way am I gonna tell myself otherwise.
@sleepingegg1719
Defining yourself by something is a one-way ticket to perfectionism, in my opinion. Your own identity becomes a status-quo, and you gradually become more exhausted over trying to meet it again and again and again. When you inevitably fail to meet the standards you impose on yourself, you feel so lost - without this one thing you pride yourself on, what even are you? This is why it's so much healthier and freeing to allow yourself to be fluid.
@Down_foal
Wow, I thought I'm the only person with such problem, well at least I never get to know other real artists. There are the same points in my head, so I'm trying my best to improve. It's great to see how you're spreading awareness on this, thank you <33
@PringlesL0vr
Finally, a video that gets it. I keep seeing videos that are like “You’re scared to share your art” and stuff, not a video that has the idea of having an ego about your art and thinking you’re better than you are, while knowing you’re not.
@SRKStar
Stay creative and stay HUMBLE!
@5houradhd
This is very real. I remember a time where I could just create for hours upon hours, now i've lost it. I gotta heal on the inside before going back.
@cactusshell1975
When I was a kid, people used to call me creative all the time and I always told them that i didn't believe them but the more they told me, the more I started to believe it. The lesson is to never let others get into your head and focus on yourself and do what YOU want to do.
@poufley
in art school you can get pretty bad critique's from professors and oof that critiques would hurt my soul cause i wasn't able to seperate my art from my personality. my art was me. yeah technically it's me but i'm not just made of art it's a part of me not the whole me. i did know that professors weren't criticizing me i knew that better than anyone. it was my ego who couldn't accept it. i learned the hard way. so many sad days and insecurity just because my art was bad that day or the critiques went bad. just so many and it was all unnecessary it did not made me love my art more but made me hate my art (english is noot my first language sorry for the mistakes)
@MaiaEmpyrean
I feel so called out. Thanks so much.
@Queasy_Abies
you putting this into words definitely changes my perspective a lot. i've never identified this feeling before, but now that it is brought to light it makes a lot of sense. great video !
@foregroundeclipse8725
@JackDeyzan I can't relate. I don't have an ego . I've always and still have a low self of esteem. Even on the very rare days I get a complement for something I draw, I still don't believe them . I just say thank you, even though I hate everything I draw . I never feel happy with what I draw . I think everything I draw looks terrible or bad. I just hope one day , I can be better. I want to be an artist and I want to make beautiful art . Unfortunately, I'm not there yet .
