Okay, I completely spaced on the title, I know, but this is an important issue for me. Actually, I have two that I need help on, you can choose whichever to respond to.
I'm an artist and a musician and am in a bit of a rut right now. The main reason for being in a rut is looking at other people's example and feeling horrid about my own for it, because it's not as good. I always want to get better, and better, and better, and better, and better, and better, and better, and better, and better, and better, and it's driving me MAD! I don't know how to deal with this, and my self image anymore. I've heard that I shouldn't base my own skill off of others', but it's so difficult to fight human nature, and I don't want to be horrible and oblivious. I've heard I should take a break, but drawing and playing my instruments are the only ways I can vent anymore (See issue 2, if you want more details on that).If I gave them up, I'd be even worse off. But I want to be good so badly I can taste it, and a drive like this is damaging when you can't seem to move forward. So how do I get out of this stupid rut, without having to completely remodel my entire life viewpoints?
Issue 2:
As you might have seen if you read issue 1, I can't really vent anymore other than through the work of art and music. But, way back when, that wasn't true; I had singing to help me, and I miss it a lot. I got scared of singing after being laughed at in class for singing, and being told I had a horrible voice by one of my friends. I want to sing again, and sing as loud as I can, and feel alive like that again, but I'm horribly afraid to. Can someone please tell me how I can sing without being heard, or get past my fear?
Thank you to any and all who reply, and no advice will be chastised, except those weird people who spam things like this for no reason. stare But please post if you have any advice! Thank you!
