I tend to worry so much about what others think that it’s blocking my ability to be creative and live life in the way we were intended to.
What I pin on Pinterest, what music I’m listening to, what I post on Instagram, what posts I like (bc my name could come up on the “liked by”) all feels so performative And like each thing I do is very strategic and thought out bc I’m worried it will affect someone’s perception of me.
this translates to my art too. Before I’ve even created something, I’m thinking about how it will be perceived when it’s done- will people like it? Is it unique enough? Etc
I want to start doing things on account of whether or not it makes me happy, or if I think it looks good
That’s why I don’t plan on sharing my picture or name on this account. I like the idea that I can share ideas and thoughts and random things with no physical appearance or preconceived notion attatched
All of this is very obvious- like yes I shouldn’t be doing these things for approval and that’s not what these apps were created for. Just something I struggle with and wanted to share
