I’m not sure why, but every time I look at something that’s amazing that was made by someone really talented, I feel like crying. Because, well, it’s beautiful! I just feel horrible because I feel like I’ve let myself down and cannot reach the standard of others. People will tell you, “Oh, you’ll get there.” Or that my art is good. But, that’s what people have always told me. I just feel like I can’t do any better, no matter how hard I try. Or, that I’ll be alone on Tumblr forever. Never making a circle of friends and laughing with them, like the popular artists. If Azula, or Jitters, or Twizz, makes something so amazing, it just makes me cry-but smile at the same time. Maybe I’m just over-thinking though.

“Never making a circle of friends and laughing with them, like the popular artists.”

Uh

My friends come from my personality, not my art skill and popularity

Like, if I drew well but was a horrible person I would not have friends

But if I drew like shit and was a really social kind person, I would still have a big circle of friends because that’s what friendship is about

I’m also baffled by people assuming I only hang out with the people they see me interacting with on tumblr

Um, hello, there is a whole world outside of tumblr, friends can come from anywhere. I have friends from school, from conventions, from RP boards, from other friends, from other websites, from projects of various types… They aren’t exclusive to tumblr OR the art community

Ughhh.

Seconded! 

I am terrible at art and yet I still have amazing friends.
