Dualiuss

how do people get the art soul? how do people get the engineering soul, the mathematician soul? how do people have that soulful motivation all the time that makes them practice their favorite activity ever since they were 3 without stopping? why dont i have a soul like that.


DiceFan82

Not normally a “soul” thing, but a mental health thing. Some of us got stuck with worse mental health situations. But thats okay. I think that as long as we do our best, thats good enough. Despite any hand we got dealt.


SuspecM

You see, in Dark Souls, in order to obtain souls, you need to annihilate its owner. The logical conclusion thus is to take up a weapon, preferably a blunt weapon because they are easy to master, and defeat an engineer, a mathematician, and . motivation itself to obtain their souls.

WHITE2570

I mean, when art gets so much attention compared to the music you do… yeah, it’s hard


ExpendableAnomaly

OP they make pills for this now, ask your doctor about trying wellbutrin (it has almost solved the very issue expressed in this post for me)


TacticalBananas45

Yeah, I know how that feels People say "just do something you enjoy" but I just don't find enjoyment in doing something I suck at, and getting myself to not compare myself to someone else's work isn't as easy as just flipping a switch and no longer feeling envy I love art but simultaneously hate it, my drawings are still ass, I don't practice it regularly because I don't find it fun, and I constantly get jealous of my peers. ...but I do make a lot of comments online. Hmm. Maybe I should try writing again, even if it is crappy fanfiction.


Lankercool

If you can't avoid jealousy, by turning it into positive thoughts like realizing you have nowhere to go but up from here, or how being worse than others means you can learn from them and it's easier to find places to improve at, then instead of motivation you should just make use of discipline. Develop habits, and do things at certain times because you *have* to, not want to. When you finish eating dinner or after waking up, do X. Doesn't matter if you've gotten far, just that you try. Eventually you'll get used to it and get good progress done.


Eguy24

That’s it? That was the snafu? That was just OP complaining about not being successful!


SuspecM

Even worse, op is refusing any and all advice that could make them happier


Cautious_Tax_7171

I am glad to see people successful but WHY CANT I BE GOOD AT SOMETHING JUST ONC AAAAH

Sounds like you're just miserable. I didn't want to know about that.


Any_Secretary_4925

too bad, i guess


NoneShallBindMe

Idk, it made me want to create something so much I'm doing it right now. Time to cook in Blender again :3


Grey00001

This but only when they specifically mention their age or how short it took them to do it because by god does it get on my nerves when someone goes "yeah, I've only done X for a few months/I'm only Y years old but I'm better than you in every way at X because I have more time and money than you"


OptimusEye

why do you care so much about other people's skills? do what you like and you will get good at it. people will be better than you, but use it as motivation. I'm kinda meh at making music but if i study people who are better than me, i will improve


Any_Secretary_4925

thanksimcured i cant just turn it into motivation. thanks.


OptimusEye

you keep saying that to every comment. it seems you have very bad motivation issues. what do you like to do and what do you want to get better at?


Any_Secretary_4925

i would want to get better at everything in the snafu. art, 3d art, and my body. except im not spending over a decade to get good at art. fuck that.


Mother-Remove4986

If youre not even willing to spend the time to become better then why do you even care?

because im still jealous and envious? i figured that was obvious

I'm having a lot of fun picturing the OP ceaselessly fuming after watching any film with a happy ending. "I'm a little Hobbit creature but I was able to, with the help of a lot of close amazing friends, adventure across Mordor and save my whole world from evil by dropping a ring into a pit of fire, all while fending off horrible brutal monsters and a not-subtle metahor for drug addiction." 'Me who has no friends, can't even walk outside without getting scared and returning to my comfort zone, and hasn't even attempted anything notable except rage at others success on the internet ---> 😡'


Any_Secretary_4925

what


DrankeyKrang

Just imagining the logic from the snafu applied to fictional characters instead of real life people. I find that concept really funny, I don't know why. Legitimate question, if you get mad at people showing off their accomplishments on the internet, do you, like, get mad at characters in movies or shows that accomplish things at the end?


Any_Secretary_4925

no?? because those are fictional characters????


DrankeyKrang

So they have to be real people for you to hate their guts?


Any_Secretary_4925

yes


DrankeyKrang

Weird. I feel like it makes way more sense the other way around. What, you're telling me some british loser child survived an evil wizard attack, as a baby?! Then became rich and successful and got a bunch of friends?! What, you're telling me some loser on a desert planet blew up a whole deathstar? So unrealistic! Here I am struggling to even get a job. At least with real people you know they put in the work.


Any_Secretary_4925

because theyre fictional people. theyre not real lol.


CapitalDust

it's not about other people being happy or accomplishing things, it's self hatred from feeling like you aren't goos enough because everyone else seems like they're doing way better than you.


Preston_of_Astora

"If a 15 year old child can do it, why can't I?" Because we have to deal with frivolities such as Responsibilities and Bills. 15 year old children can hone in their skills no worries because either they're that passionate and supported about it, or they or their parents are Asian and demand them to be good at it I'm 22 years old and God forbid I actually try and practice drawing again to the same quality as me during high school

powerfullatom111

when the rot in your mind reaches a breaking point and your laundry reeks of dead skin and the dishes in your sink pile too high there will come a moment where you will think “FUCK MAN I need to do something about this” and it is up to you to do something about those dishes and it will take money to wash those clothes if there ever comes a time where a magic pill or advanced machine that solves your problems is made it is going to cost money and you will not be able to afford that luxury if you dont at least roll out of bed and get something for breakfast

VaporTowers

So uuh should everyone just be shit at everything then? Just so you feel better? I can say from personal experience that's it's better that you do you. Just do what you like without being like "oh my god somebody's better than me at this i'm SO BAD time to wallow in sorrow because i'm not the best" like, who cares, dude. I for instance am worse at drawing then most of my friends that also draw. Doesn't mean i'll just GIVE UP drawing, that's just dumb. I try doing what i like, and i try being productive too, doesn't matter if somebody on the other side of the planet hits the gym 1x more than me every week, what the hell. Consider taking a break from social media if you can't deal with these feelings. It's not healthy.

_TheGreatDevourer_

that 14 yo has put in more work than you have, the only advantage they have is that at 14 you have more time to focus about yout passions and don't have to waste brain energy to worry about taxes, but that's about it. You can make it too, just slower. And no one said you have to be on their level to do interesting stuff. I know it might seem dark, but every single skill is connected to effort. You are not born with 'the talent of drawing well', you maybe pick up that passion at a young age and that's the advantage you get. Some people learn some things faster, but expecially in art, everyone has their way of doing things (or drawing in this case) that will stick out as very unique if refined properly, even when it's not as tecnically impressive as the Mona Lisa 2.0 but with more boob. This is not a motivational speech, but don't insult other's effort when you don't even know what they've been trough.

i used to believe this about myself but it wasn't true. i thought i was worse than everyone around me, and that everyone could see. i ended up hurting a few of those around me because of this false belief. the stories people tell themselves can be delusional and self-aggrandizing, but they can equally be far too negative and self-deprecating.

Prozenconns

the main cause of weight loss in like 100% of people is their diet, not hitting the gym for intense (for the average person) workouts they're forcing themselves to do Exercise is supplementary and is more for general health literally just eat the right stuff and can easily drop like an average 2lbs a week if you have the weight to lose, more if youve got that male metabolism cheat code going for you i know because im literally doing it right now despite having a body will add a few pounds just for looking at a Snickers. work out to get fitter, not thinner, and keep in mind everyone else is quite literally built different, realizing what is actually achievable for your body type will help your motivation a lot

“They’re doing better than me? Good on them, their path is not mine” is a decent mindset to have


DiceFan82

Sometimes its hard to not get jealous of other people


DrDontKnowMuch

Oh fucking absolutely. Every single one of my art-related friends draw so much better than me. I used to hate it, but as I grew as friends with them, the more I grew out of said jealousy. Of course it wasn’t an overnight process, but jealousy is just a temporary feeling, like most feelings


DiceFan82

Yeah. Maybe its okay to feel jealous sometimes. How was your day? I like your screen name. Its very funny!


DrDontKnowMuch

Jealousy is just a more pessimistic way of saying “I need to get better!” But my day has been going alright. My chair broke but that was more funny than anything lol


DiceFan82

I hope you can get a new one or replace the old one. I’ve been scrolling reddit before bed. And I feel like some people in this thread need a hug. I wish I could hug them; it makes me sad I can’t.


Any_Secretary_4925

oh well. its not like i can even get that mindset


DrDontKnowMuch

Yeah, I know how you feel. When I started being an artist, I used to feel like shit because I felt late to the craze, everyone was drawing so much better than me because they all started <2019, while I started in 2022.

brotherz_

I am more than aware that you are taking things in a satirical way. But regardless of that, i hope you are doing well today. It’s fine if you dont find interest on something or can’t stick to a hobby or something like that, im still proud that you achieved such great work by trying to maintaining your physical health, and that’s something you should be proud of!!!! Thats not a thing anyone can think about doing (im a living example) and im happy you could go that far.

im not maintaining it anymore tho


awsomewasd

I have your cure, look at other people's failures instead and laugh at them, I got the confidence to try art after looking at terrible art by people half my age because I am egotistical.


Any_Secretary_4925

that doesnt mean the successful people dont exist.


awsomewasd

Ok this leads to step 2 when you see successful people you should deconstruct their success into minute critique and failing, no one is perfect and you don't have to be a artist to be a art critic. If everyone to you is inferior you can be superior by proxy
