By observing I don’t mean direct observation, but working as if someone is going to be observing your work. There’s a detachment there, they are not there when you are working, but they will be observing and assessing ultimately and you will be anticipating that.
oh ok yea…i understand now.
thanks,…that is exactly the problem,feeling observed.,as well as background paranoia as a famous person is another thing

the thing is guys,
i just realised today there is no point of going into my dream job which would have been health nutrition related because I am such an extremist with food
so i realised that instead i will be doing something else more ‘simple’ for a job
so since i wont be following that passion in the nutrition field
i feel like ,wait a minute, i need to follow some passion so art would have been the other option :((
i mean not as my main job but just as a thing on the side

I think its a type of social anxiety you are having, not really a delusion, unless you think you are definitely going to be famous or already are famous.
yea I think so too…how could I overcome it?
I don’t know, everyone is different. I used to have social anxiety, and now I have absolutely none. My social anxiety went away even before I took meds. I’m not sure what made it go away for me, but possibly I realized other people’s opinions are irrelevant, facts matter, people have short memories, nothing is ever as bad as you think its going to be, everyone is flawed, etc.

Sounds like a problem worth having to me.
Not with traditional materials. My daughter does most of her work on a tablet now. Very inexpensive after the initial outlay. She can paint in simulated watercolours, oils, etc. Looks wonderful and she doesn’t have any materials costs until she goes to print.
being famous a problem worth having?
that is interesting, what makes you say that?
I gave up on my main dream job being a Dr or physiotherapist eventhough I was getting close. I think the sz made my cognition worse, I cant get excellent grades as before sz and also I stress now vs before sz. Now I would be more than happy to get one of my previous low stress jobs back, working as an accounting assistant or a video games tester.
I lasted the most at these jobs as I think they are low cignitive and stress load hence more compatible with my sz. Maybe for you its art.

i think if people did not know who painted my painting they are more likely to buy it , as in if they don’t know it is that weird person who painted it who is just weird.
but i can’t stay mysterious because what if someone uses my art under their name,
it takes away the observation pressure being mysterious
yea money is nice lol
i think we all like money
no one is going to plaigerize your paintings…everybody gets hints of ideas from other artists…it just happens…but nobody can copy your art…don’t worry…enjoy your creative process and be freeee…
hey thanks Jukebox,…,good stuff!!!

I mean it is fine if no one buys my paintings too,but it feels wrong to not even try to sell !!!
and it is observation pressure that can potentially turn me into a weirdo,i meant, right now i am not such a weirdo, just a bit but who isn’t
I mean i could just buy cheap paints and just share it on instagram instead or something, even that i don’t know if i can afford
but i have like not got anyone except family to share it with
does not feel satisfying enough
Hi @Zoe
Sorry if this has been said already. Could you sell behind an artists name on Etsy or Instagram?
