I know I only post when I’m feeling dejected but I need to scream into the void in hopes that someone else gets it


I went to this highschool art show to support my sister and all the art there was so much better then anything I could ever dream of making, and it was okay but then there was a little doodle pad in the middle of all the art and I was kinda hesitant because I’m not great at drawing but my people kept encouraging me to give it a shot, so I tried to draw my favourite character, because the artist I was talking to was a fan of Genshin too, and when I was drawing they asked (what character is that) I know it wasn’t meant in a mean way but it was mortifying because I realized once again that I don’t really have any talents and I get no joy out of “learning the process” so I don’t try, and then I just had to look at people who are way younger then me succeed in all the ways I “wasted my potential” because I was a gifted child and only feel dopamine from being rewarded #vent
