I can be very sensitive when it comes to my art. I'm quick to think my art is shit, and it's something I've always had difficulties getting past. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

One of the things that comes to mind specifically; about 2 years ago(maybe more? I honestly can't remember) someone was hosting a contest and I was offering prizes for the winners. I sent notes to them all, but one did not reply. I waited some time, I know life is busy. But maybe a month later I still hadn't heard anything. So I sent another. And when that went unanswered, I stopped. But not just messages. I stopped following their art. I stopped commenting and favoriting. I was completely turned off. Why? Because it made it seem like my art just wasn't worth even being given away. Even now, after so much time has passed, I'll see their name or their art and those thoughts and feelings return. A simple response was all that was needed. Even just declining my offer of the drawing. Silence hurt worse.

It was on my mind a lot today. I've never told anyone about this.

i am a sensitive artist. nobody understands me because i am so deep. in my work, i make allusions to books that nobody else has read, music that nobody else has heard, and art that nobody else has seen.

i can't help it, because i am so much more intelligent and well-rounded than everyone else who surrounds me.

i stopped watching tv when i was six months old because it was so boring and stupid, and started reading books, and going to recitals and art galleries.

i don't go to art galleries anymore because there are people there, and i can't deal with people, because they don't understand me.

i stay home, reading books that are beneath me, and working on my work, which no one understands.
