I do suffer a lot of this. Because I try to compare and compete with others. But I do feel that I am so weird that I can't find anyone like myself to compare. So I end up trying to compete with people that are super different than me. But at the same time I don't feel that I put my own creation process in risk by trying to compete with them. I start thinking that I haven't found my niche yet. And it might be such a small one that I will always struggle. But I will never put my creative side at risk to be part of "what's trending" and in vogue.
I'm just a weird lost in this world. But "not weird enough" to dab in that niche either. I know who I Am as a creator an as an artist. I just don't create for business. And that's where I am faulty to my own detriment.

I actually think there is some real advantage to your style and creativity.  We all suffer a bit from the compare and compete I would wager, however, having watched your content for a long time now, I think you are really good at not caring (at least on the outside) what other people think :)

Am I pretty much the same on the inside. The problem is that this "feeling" or "attitude" however you wanna call it doesn't pay bills. 🤣🤣

But no matter what and because I am so proud I would go homeless and suffer all the consequences before I sell myself. Sounds dramatic (that you know that I am) but also it is the Truth.

I can fake it. But if I don't believe it You can tell that I am faking it.

That's why I think I will never be very successful in my own life and I will only pass by... My hope is that I will be able to make a difference in a couple of people lifes that on the other end... not like myself will be able to make a huge difference with whatever they have learned and were inspired by me.

The truth is that has probably already happened.  I think often we don't realize the impact we've had on others.  I'd say everyday you take a chance on being you....you make a difference.
