how is it self awareness to think that your own art is shit and take criticism so personally to the point you dont even create it at all? so much self hating is normalized as ”self awareness”
if you know you're bad you shouldn't try to do stuff (besides learning). prod isn't the place to test.

i have a middleschool understanding of carpentry. should i:
a) offer to do my neighbor's cabinets
b) not take on a task i'm incapable of completing with any quality in a reasonable timeframe
thats on the same level at all as art? a way of self expression? please quit seeing art this way, its puritanical and gross
don't fucking put down joinery. that shit is hard and takes a lot of skill, and designing door inlays and shit is just as artistic as line drawing or whatever narrow definition of art you have.
self expression is not the same as the allegory you had there
against my better judgement i will try again.
should one write poetry in a language they don't understand?
