Ive gone back to drawing again. I know its not great but hey, i need to start with something easy.

I hope ya like it
I can't even start. My own head is working against me.
I'm tired of my desire to be creative and build things being deemed as worthless.
@JeffGrimesArt @JedDrudge @Morghur I've been struggling with this a bit myself with writing. Two things have helped me:

1. I'm a Christian, so I consider all creative endeavors to be practice for when God has me do larger projects after my time on Earth.
2. Many of my favorite authors are people who are and were unpopular, especially in the mainstream. Edmund Spenser, George MacDonald, Lord Dunsany, Clark Ashton Smith, and William Allen are only known in literary or very niche circles, but their respective contributions to literature are broader today than most people realize. Consider that the Beowulf poet, the Gawain poet, and the Rood poet are each anonymous, but their works are widely read by English scholars. Beowulf spent a good five centuries in obscurity before someone rediscovered it in a noble's personal library, and now it's often required reading for any serious English scholar. My point is that your work may not be recognized immediately or even in your lifetime. The point is to leave something timeless or fun or insightful for people to ponder and to look to for inspiration long after you're gone from this world.
Tbh i don't think that whatever i make or might make will every be appreciated or cherished. I don't have a big hope for my autistic works to become somewhat popular.

No matter what i think that all i do will die with me.
You only need one other soul to appreciate your work, if it is for others...
Even if someone tells me that they appreciate my work i won't believe it.

I try to have a positive outlook and think that the very few people that like what i post should be good enough for me. But unfortunately, i want more
Thanks a bunch, i really appreciate it.
Altho i really think i should do better stuff to be worthy of praise or appreciation

It took me until the age of 25 until I actually realized, that my presence is not a burden on people I am around, but that actually some people like my presence as much as I love theirs.

But it took a metric ton of work to find a group of friends who did show me this without fear. If there is one thing I wish I could teach my younger self, it would be how to find such people. Because until I found them, I really felt like drowning every day.

Unfortunately i'm sat in my ways too much. Dunno if i can develop a bit of self respect and confidence at this point without becoming a retard that thinks he is hot shit.

Plus, dunno if some IRL friends can help me in that regard. I'm probably too much of a retard

@Morghur
I used to think so too, but then I found the real autistic hotspots, and it's literally like switching from beer to water :D

Damn, i wish. But even as an autist, i'm pretty special in my interests. I don't know if i will vibe with others

@Morghur
I am sorry, there aren't many advices I can give to someone I don't know.
